Picture Post

This a collection of a few days worth of pictures. The first are Snoqualmie Falls, which I first went to with my co worker Blakely but went back today with Kevin, Eli, and Chris. Then a few from when Kate was in town, which was so fun. I loved having a girlfriend around.

Each time I discover a new part of the Northwest I swell up with joy. There is something so pure about the outdoors up here. Its majestic. Its powerful. Its prestine and delicate. Its carefully arranged in layers and hills and pebbles. Its plentiful. And I am thankful I am here to enjoy it.

I am an eagle eye.

Part of a hydro-electric plant by the river.

100 feet taller than Niagara Falls, just not so wide.

Rock stacking is a peaceful way that people leave there mark, instead of carving into everything. Also used in meditation.

This water is gushing out of the side of the cliff.

A cave.

And inside it looks like this.

Please note: this is a tree growing on top of a dead stump.

The end. And what a good end it is.

My phone is offically lost and gone forever. My wonderful roommate Kevin says he doesnt mind me using his because he gets free minutes after 7pm (10pm ATL time). So if you would like me to call you then send telephone numbers to my email: mimihodges@yahoo.com

Back to Real Life

The moment I landed back in Seattle my heart felt lighter and said Thank You. Life here is just such a comfort and being back has really sealed that into my head. I am back in routine and loving it. Work was actually enjoyable, I really missed my co workers. And now its my day off and I am sitting in the window at Sureshot drinking white coffee catching up on internet things and writing. I decided if I am going to live the writing life, theres no better time than now to jump in. For the next few months its my personal to goal to create a large variety of sample writing. I decided to begin with an essay on Modern America and how we got here, whats considered modern and whats considered civilization. I have started with some notes and questions of what I want to figure out from this exploration into this (great) country. My next day off I am venturing to the large glass pyramid building called the Seattle Public Library. Just thinking about it makes my heart beat a little faster. I am back. Back in action. Breathing again, feeling good. Doing what feeds my soul. And maybe its all in my head, or maybe there is a little truth in different surroundings create different attitudes.


Here are some pictures from the trip.

From the Plane

Dad and I took a motorcycle ride and I held tightly on to my camera to get these shots.
