Hello again blog! I just couldn’t stay away. Here is one of my typical Liz videos, complete with shaky camera work and wind blowing through the microphone. Well, at least I’m not chewing gum in this one.

More camping photos! The sunset was so beautiful.

There’s Joshy, engaging in a little horizontal camping. I’ve started sleeping on the blown-up recliner I use to float down the river–it makes for a nice comfy bed. I slept like A ROCK (of course the Trazadone and Xanax helped).

I bought these on a whim on our way out of town. Probably because they are rainbow and it was Pride weekend, which we missed out on. Pride is in my heart!

You’ll have to excuse all the dumb photos in this post, I just discovered that you can add filters to the pictures as you’re taking them on my camera! This filter was called “Toy Camera”.

No filter here, just beauty.

Ha ha. This filter was called “Retro” and of course it was my favorite!

Camping is the best.

What’s up, moon? Did I tell you that the friggin’ Northern Lights were over Seattle last week?! OF COURSE we didn’t find out until the day after, TYPICAL.

Maggie dog enjoys a rest.

Josh has pretty hazel eyes that I don’t normally get to admire because they are behind glasses.

Here’s another video–Maggie was actually dunking HER ENTIRE HEAD into the river, searching for sticks. I’ve never seen her do this! What a weird little animal!

More retro filter action.

Well, um…seemed like a good idea at the time.

Those are the best swim trunks ever. I’m so happy I found them!

Contented camping face.

Josh spies on some peeps with my binoculars.

Probably the best photo of a moon I’ve ever taken. I used the “night landscape” setting, and zoomed as much as possible.

Yet another video! Joshy goes for a swim and Maggie paddles out to meet him.

Bear Cub and her majestic tail, with the “toy camera” filter.

“Wild” is the perfect book to take camping.

Aw, is that it? I guess I no longer take 300 photos during every excursion. And that’s okay, I suppose.
