Wow this was a good hike morning. I found a new trail that led to a tree I've been trying to get to for several years. The view was amazing and the trail had a few little extras I loved finding. Also found my next #geocache hide spot 😁 Swipe for a bunch of purdy pics. . #td_hiking #hiking #herPNWlife #td_apr19 #td_2019only #pnwonderland #pnw #ncw #saddlerock #td_saddlerockpeak #td_7hills (at Wenatchee, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaE2rUhkQL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1de8yc7j6onec

Too pretty out today to stay inside. 18° called for the heavy coat, and it did it's job. Could've stayed out all day but snow blind is a real thing y'all! Will add sunglasses to my kit. . #td_hiking #hiking #herPNWlife #td_feb19 #td_2019only (at Wenatchee, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btt2_COhHMc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1juixu8ofkju1

Back out here finally! Have had to stay away for awhile, had a strained/torn calf muscle and I didn't want to take any chance of it getting worse and really stopping me. Today felt fantastic, about 2/3 of the way in, but then a little twinge on the worst of the uphills. Will take it easy for a bit longer, want to go into spring strong! . . #td_hiking #hiking #herPNWlife #td_feb19 #td_2019only (at Wenatchee, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZeh4hhLrk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nlxh539grl73

This resonated with me so much. Every where I visit, I leave saying "I could live here!" . #td_2019only #td_may19 #td_artjournal #td_artastherapy #td_sketchbook #artjournaling #doodleaddict #td_makesomethingcooleveryday (at Wenatchee, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx0lRHsneOV/?igshid=1ml999w8u8z7e

It's been 12 days, which felt like 12 weeks. DST stole the whole last week from me, too dark in the morning. Got it today though and can't wait for REAL spring to finally get here.

Even my lunch break doodles are needing parkas and hoods. Like everyone else in town.

An old page from an art journal. These remind me more of cotton balls than rocks.

He fell out of my pen on my lunch break. He says happy Valentine's Day, friends. . . . #td_doodles #doodleaddict #doodlersanonymous #td_sketchbook #td_2019only #td_feb19 #sketchbook (at Wenatchee, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4N6qnhRr0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ltzo3rsyyb8j

Asleep on the sketchbook I sat down next to me.

LOVE this color. So vibrant against the snow and dark, wintering landscape.

A moment of appreciation for my @kahtoola microspikes. They were waiting for me when I got back from Disneyland, so I HAD to go out first thing this morning. And oh em gee, they did not disappoint. Straight up, these on my feet are my fucking superpower. I am an unstoppable tank on pure ice and frozen, crusted snow. I hiked with more security than in the perfect dryness of summer. Seriously changed how I feel about winter. 10/10 would buy again. But I probably won't have to because they are serious quality. . #pnw #pnwonderland #ncw #ncwlove #wenatchee #herPNWlife #hiking #td_hiking #td_2019only #td_jan19 (at Wenatchee, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BstlrWPDRXz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4q6c7uqcuyib
