Sweet Trip to Oregon and Cali.

So last week I took a trip up to Oregon with Nick to take some pics and just get away for a while. It was so great, Oregon is so beautiful and there were so many opportunities to get great shots. We went around the area of Klamath Falls, to a wildlife refuge, the coast of CA, a redwood forest, and even a plane ride around Crater Lake. It was so much fun to be with Nick and his family, they are all crazy funny. Plus I got to be out shooting which is pretty much my favorite thing in the world. And while it was great to be doing that it was also good to get back and be with the people that I care about back in Provo.

It's so crazy, this was the first trip longer than 3 days that I have taken in about 6 months and it was just a solid reminder that this is what I really do want to do with my life. I know it will be hard being done a lot but it is something that I think is worth it and nothing is better to me than documenting the beauty of this great Earth.

While we were at the coast we had a few hours before the light was good to just hang out, so I went out on some rocks and just sat and meditated for a while. It was a good time to reflect and just be reminded of all the things that I have been blessed with, and while I am constantly screwing up I know that no matter what I have to do to return to my Father in Heaven is worth it. I often find myself looking for the answers and expecting some great miracle to come and rescue me but I am recently finding myself needing to be even more patient. Life is full of mysteries, that's the point(well one of the many), we'll never find the answers if we don't have the patience for them to come. So yeah, it was a good think.
