An Illinois native, I just moved to Marin County, California for an 11 month AmeriCorps internship with SPAWN, a watershed protection non-profit. I've lived my whole life in Illinois and am absolutely a midwesterner, so this is a new phase of my life and a huge adventure for me. Read on!

Photos from the move out here and another attempt at humor

My mom sent me a CD with all the photos she took while we were driving out here. I was lazy and hadn't posted them yet.

So, without further ado, here they are. And no, none have been photoshopped (because my mom actually CAN take a photograph).

My mom really wants to capture Utah and the way the

Eventually I had to pee, and conviently I used a rest area.
Mom was happy. There was a pet area at the rest area.

At Stinson Beach


a palm tree on a beach in California. Imagine that.


A tropical iceland. Two days later it was
foggy and freezing on the same beach.



Muir woods - natural bridge


Circle of redwoods @ Muir Woods. The way they
propagate themselves is interesting and creates these
rings of young trees around a dead adult.

Me, still in a tree (Ah! It's going to eat me!)



Well, that's all the pictures I have. I'll try to remember to take pictures and then to post them.
