random | dusk beers

a couple things here:
drink beer at dusk, even if it's winter and very very cold. 
bring candles when you go camping.
be picky about the sticks you collect. they have to be perfect! you never know when you end up in a magicians' wand fight. 

ashland | daniel + stephie

when we went camping, i also took a few photos of these two lovelies. they're fantastic as a couple: honest, hilarious, and so loving.

another take of spectacular beauty!

ashland | heh?

i added the left eye hole, but otherwise....
i think my almond butter sandwich didn't feel comfortable knowing he was getting eaten that day. & he had no way of escaping his certain doom.

ashland | bacon s'mores

i think we're on to something...
especially as an after breakfast treat.

completely enthralled by ashland, oregon. i am so utterly taken by this weekend's trip because of stuff like this:

friday morning thots | 10.28.11

it's been over a year since i noted that i've been feeling a draw towards ashland, oregon. and the time has finally come. 


i'm spending the weekend in a place i know i will call home, without ever having been there. my heart feels open and willing to explore, not just the land, but my internal mountain tops and deep ravines. i call it a visioning trip, where i hope to encounter God in the silence of the mountains and in relationship with my friends. it's time and space to dreamdreamdream, slow down and experience the clarity that comes when i am running with all of my heart and body in the wilderness.


& camping. o, camping. 
enough said.
