inbetween

work flew me to Victoria last weekend where we held a spiritual activism summit. The camera really came out when I attended a walking-lecture that walked itself up to the top of a little hill overlooking the sea. Many of these are from that walk. All in all, greens and blues and oranges and some straws, some flower shadows, a peacock in the park, a compass, some holding hands, some faith. Just great.

I ran up to Portland, Maine two weekends ago to run a race dedicated to a friend of mine, with two friends of mine. The weekend was perfect, the cross-country run caught me off guard, the company was the best, and there were cats. Here’s to running with cool cats and to playing with two others after-hours.

We spent a week together at our cabin on the Puget Sound this August and it was the best. The only thing missing was Ross, our favorite brother, but we brought boyfriends and girlfriends to make up for it. We had a daily dose of playing on the tideflats, picking blackberries, baking, eating stuff with cheese on it, hanging out on couches or on the floor near couches, all with mountains, water and the best smelling air in the world as the backdrop. Our favorite place to be. Our favorite people to be with. Except for Ross. Sorry Ross.

Ryan Schroeder, Jamie’s boyfriend, took this next one. I love the layers and the wind of green coming in:

And he took this one, the best photo of Jamie, ever. Always way easier to get good ones when your subjects are in love with you. Very helpful:
