Rattlesnake Ledge | Kirkland Photographer

I recently hiked up a mountain with a backpack that was most certainly not meant for actual hiking/backpacking (more like carrying a laptop from one office to another) and I learned a few things:

• I need to think about what I need at the top instead of bringing choices that I don’t need from the bottom
• I need a backpack that will not slowly try to cut off my head
• I need to get out and explore the beauty of WA more often
• I am very blessed to call this place home
• Glad I left the children back home where they could not complain about every drop of sweat and all elements of exertion
• Composing a shot when you have about two square inches before falling 1200 feet may be a challenge
