On a recent trip to Washington, we found ourselves waking up to a sunrise on the ocean in Sequim, driving alongside the Olympic National Park and entering into the majestic Hoh Rainforest. Below are a selection of photographs captured. Look out for the elephant in the tree and the man made of moss… Taken with a Nikon FM […]

By Tula
The first time I learned of the agave’s orchestrated descent to death, I was disappointed. Who wants to grow something for years to only watch it die? Then I realized how poetic it all was.
