We fell.

Hard in love. Just look.

You have to feel this for yourself.

It’s just amazing. Multomah Falls, just outside of Oregon. I had been here once before as a freshman in college, but weirdly the main thing I remember is that I had my first taste of French onion soup in the restaurant at the bottom. How could have I missed this grandeur?

The boys kept saying, “WOAH!” at every new vantage point.

Maybe I just needed to see it with them, through their little eyes of wonder.

The moss looks like a bunch of Muppets in Oregon.

The spray was a little strong in spots. Just perfect for hiding in the curve of Daddy’s neck.

It was made a lot better with a bite of chocolate fudge and a milk chaser. Chocolate is a miracle drug.

Hank had a couple of bike shops on his list of places to see in Portland. First stop, River City Bicycles.

And now that my jacket and favorite jeans were clean again, I worked on perfecting my self portrait. Until I got caught.

Self portrait

That’s a Lensbaby lens that I’m shooting with. It’s a trip. You can read about them here; my next post will be filled with pictures taken only with that lens. It’s a little tricky – sort of like a tilt shift lens but weirder. I love it, Hank does not (not a fan of the blur it creates). See what you think tomorrow!
