I completely missed Halloween this year. Didn't get a pumpkin to carve, didn't roast pumpkin seeds... but Fall is one of my favorite seasons in the Pacific Northwest, and I couldn't let the beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows go to waste.

Stump Jump III
The annual Baker Lake camping trip, aka Stump Jump, was another success.
Swimming in Baker Lake, hikes along Baker River through the the overgrown forrest trees, drinking and BBQing lakeside, and post-camping beers at Birdsview Brewing.
Relentless Sunset
When people find out that I was born and raised in Hawaii, they almost always ask, "why do you live in here?!" After working a full day, I met with friends at Greenlake for a BBQ and picnic near the lake. Some of us even jumped in for a swim. All the while, this sunset hung in the sky. So ask me again.

Sunrise over Lake Union
Watched the Moon set this morning and decided to walk down to the boat houses on Lake Union. Beautiful morning and loving Seattle right now.
March 10: photo booth
Adventures on Capitol Hill in Seattle for a friend's birthday. We started at The Garage for bowling, drinks, and of course photo booth photos. I love this shot. I lined up everyone's photo strips on the pool table and shot this with an iPhone 4 using no filters. Square cropped it in Camera+ app.
French toast donut
Headed to Wallingford this morning for Mighty-o donuts. A tray of French Toast donuts greeted us near the entrance, and over 2 dozen donuts later (we didn't eat all of them right there) we were on our way. These French Toast donuts feature cinnamon, cardamon, coriander, ginger, orange peel, and maple syrup in their original donut recipe. Paired with coffee, it was a treat made for a cop!
Jan 16: good morning mountains
Although only for a short weekend, good friends, food, and drink made the trek to Oakland overtly worthwhile. I'll definitely be doing it again. I returned to snowy Seattle on Monday morning. And as the sun had just risen over the horizon the plane entered a sea of clouds and Mt. Rainier came to greet me like it does on any other morning commute.
Day 31: The Guild
One month down, 11 more to go...
I took this shot coming out of the Landmark Guild 45th Theatre. Even though it was still early in the day, the overcast clouds and cool air made it feel later than it was. A truly, lazy Sunday...
Day 30: Just Dance
Day 26: I went to there
It didn't happen yesterday... but I did today!
Day 25: I want to go to there
While i was at lunch, i saw this cool spot from the upper level of Bellevue Place. I didn't have time to go down there before I had to head back, but I want to go to there...
Day 20: 10 o'clock PM
I had a long day... and now it's time for bed. I'm headed to the gym at 5am tomorrow morning... ugh.
