Recently I got up with the sun and headed out into the day for a morning walk. I am not, by nature, a morning person so I don't have many chances to see the world in its early morning cloak. That being said, once I'm up I love early mornings. The light is so soft and it feels like you're getting away with something, stealing these extra hours in the day. This particular morning was bone cold and gilded with frost. I brought my camera along and everywhere I turned there was something beautiful, calling out to me to have its photo taken. I even ran into my friend Thomas on his way to work in town and snapped a few frames of him. Enjoy the images, and happy Wednesday!

A Few Beautiful Little Moments
Things have been quiet around here lately, yet full of beautiful little moments. Beach walks with friends, frigid steel head fishing adventures, a snow day, and cozy time inside. Work is slower for me this time of year, and I am trying to find a balance, to be ok with not "doing" as much. To just be. I'm learning, I think, and that's all that I can ask for sometimes.
Lake Quinault Lodge
As promised, I wanted to share a few more photos from our weekend at the Lake Quinault Lodge. The lodge and surrounding area are stunning and it was a lovely, quiet weekend full of rainy walks, photos, and lots of fireside reading.
Hope you had a great weekend friends!
Holiday Open House 2012!
This weekend I had my annual Roots & Wings Jewelry Holiday Open House! I had a blast/worked my butt off for the last few weeks, crafting close to 100 pieces of jewelry and whipping our house into holiday shape. I am happy to say it was a total success! Many folks dropped by, mulled wine and hot cider was drunk, tasty treats were enjoyed (courtesy of my amazing mother), and jewelry found new homes. Thanks to everyone who came and made it great! Enjoy the photos friends.

Soapstone Lake Hike
We recently took a hike on a trail near our home to a beautiful little lake. I've hiked most of the trails in our area more times than I can count, and while I still enjoy them every time, it was really exciting to venture somewhere new. It was also really nice to spend most of a day outside, away from any work, computers, to do lists, etc...don't get me wrong, I love my work SO much, but sometimes it's hard to stop working when you work from home. It's that whole balance thing you know? More on that later though. For now let's just enjoy some photos of a lovely day on the trail. Happy Tuesday friends!
