I ran the Orcas Island 50k in 2018 as my first ultramarathon. It was a magical weekend and it went spectacularly well, but the weather wasn’t great. This time, although rain of biblical proportions fell in the days leading up to the race leading to the wettest conditions on record, sun and scattered clouds made for beautiful views as my wife and I enjoyed ourselves on the island, the ferries, and at Rosario Resort.

Rampart Lakes
My friend Justin and I arrived early on Saturday in the rain - the rain stopped right after we got our tents up, allowing us one glorious day to explore unmarked trails up Rampart Ridge. Then, that night, a gnarly storm rolled through. Of that, I have no pictures, so shots of Rampart Lakes, Rampart Ridge, and Lila Lake must suffice.
Finally Fall
Danny and I occasionally plan walks through interesting parts of the city. Today, it was breakfast followed by wandering through the Washington Arboretum, which I'd never really explored. With this year's more bountiful precipitation, the fall colors are on full display with the sun out once again.
One Year
My wife and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary by getting out of the city for a weekend and going to Langley on Whidbey Island. It was lovely; we ate delicious food and stayed in a quaint cabin. Our excitement came from a ferry that sprung a leak, caught fire, and required our evacuation.
Work Event: Elliott Bay Sail Cruise
My company sent my team along with one other on a quick sailing cruise around Elliott Bay. It was beautiful, of course, and a nice escape from work.
UW Campus Roam with Danny
My good friend, Danny, and I walked around UW's campus and snapped a few frames. Check out what he did!
I just wanted one blossom photo this year. Most trees were already bare, but I did find this beauty (as did everyone else with a camera, it seemed).
