Today I had a close encounter with a curious Steller sea lion from shore @ Limekiln Point State Park! I was filming with my camera while @orcawatcher.bsky.social was filming above with her phone, you’ll see where I did a split screen and synced the two clips. Enjoy! #stellersealion #sealion

A short video recap of the Olympia protest yesterday 🇺🇸 ❤️ ✊🏻 #50501movement #50501protests #usprotests #nokingsday #resist #olympia

4 photos to share from today’s protest @ the Capitol in Olympia. It was so uplifting to see such a large turn out and in complete solidarity. I still have the chanting in my head: “This is what democracy looks like”✊🏻 #resist #50501protests #theresistance #3e #50501movement #NoKingsDay #USProtests

My favorite person at one of my favorite places 🥰 @orcawatcher.bsky.social

Making a morning espresso has become a bit of a ritual. I decided to bring the camera along for the ride and do some experimental “slo mo espresso”. 😄. A bit different than my usual videos. Audio on 🔊 #slomo #espresso #coffee #caffeine #experimentalvideo #slowmotion

Some photos from this weekend 📸

We’ve had a pretty mild winter here in western Washington with not a lot of rain, so when the weather shifted I wanted to get out and film something a little different from what I normally shoot. Here’s a reel I filmed mostly in my front yard with natural audio recorded + music. Unmute and enjoy!
