U-District Farmer’s Market
Yesterday I went with Kevin to the U-District Farmer’s Market. It was actually my first time going, despite living only walking distance from it for roughly 7 years. Below are some photos (as I moblog this from the ferry):
Hiking to Otter Falls
On Saturday, Ryan, Kevin, Taylor and I hiked to Otter Falls near Middle Fork, totaling 10 miles roundtrip! The trek was certainly worth it–Otter Falls is a pretty epic “hidden gem”, if I ever saw one.
First, to give you a sense of scale, here are the falls as viewed across Lipsy Lake. Find Taylor in the lower-right corner. 
And here’s me and Kevin scuttling on its steep surface: 
The view looking straight up from its base: 
The guys looking up towards the falls:
Needless to say, the falls were pretty amazing to witness. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to make the trip. The funny thing is that we all found out about this place through our RSS feeds, specifically through this blog post. The Internet got us outdoors, go figure.
Butchart Garden Photos
Last weekend Ryan, his mom, and I went to Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC. I’ve been to the gardens a few times as a kid and it was nice going back to appreciate it more fully. Below are some of my favorite photos I took that afternoon:
And the best part of day: high tea!
Jamie Meets Giant Tree
Ryan recently finished uploading his photos from our last hiking trip. This is one of my favorites.
Hiking Middle Fork
As you may have seen from the moblog below, last weekend Ryan and I went camping at Middle Fork with Kevin, Sean, and Ash. We had a pretty sweet site right by the Snoqualmie River and spent two nights there where Ryan demonstrated his expert fire-making skills and we successfully evaded the Washington rain (for the most part). Most notably though, our biggest accomplishment was a 13.65-mile hike on the Middle Fork trail, which needless to say, pushed us to the limit. Below are some photos I took on my phone along the way:
