Very excited that my photo book, The Road Is Long & Beautiful, is now available to order! The Road Is Long & Beautiful is a collection of 35mm color photographs from my 570 mile walking pilgrimage along the Caminho Português (The Portuguese Way). This 200 page experiential photo book walks with you through 58 days, one and a half million steps from Lisbon, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, through farmland, olive groves, mountains, towns, monasteries, and train tracks. This pilgrimage meant so much to me to meet the land, people, & language of one of my ancestral countries for the first time. The route I walked: the Caminho Português from Lisbon to Porto, the Senda Litoral Coastal Route, crossing to the Central Route from Caminha to Valença, the Central Route, the Variante Espiritual, and ending in Santiago de Compostela. You can get your copy for $25 here ❤️

Strawberry Mountain Wilderness Loop (3/3)
So, this hike out to the car from Strawberry Lake was maybe the shortest day I've ever had on a backpacking trip, but considering the sheer amount of distance I'd covered in the previous six days, I wasn't disappointed at all to wake up and walk only a mile or so.
I'd wanted to get an early-ish start despite the short distance, only because I still had to drive the six or so hours home from Prairie City before dark; however, it had been surprisingly cold overnight, and so I spent some time in the morning waiting for the sun to clear the rim of the basin before I climbed out of my tent for good.
In the morning light, Strawberry Lake was gorgeous. And yes, there were more lake reflections.
On the hike out, I circled around to the west side of the lake instead of the east side that I'd spent so much time "exploring" the previous night. This gave me some further, final great views before I got on the trail and took it north to the car for a mile.
Having never completed a solo backpacking trip of this length before, I was already feeling like I'd accomplished something momentous, but then just before reaching the parking lot, I looked up at the cliff hanging high above the trail and saw...a mountain goat.
Of course, I have no way of knowing that this was in fact my goat "friend" seeing me off before I left him to his own goat-devices in his wilderness, but I immediately decided to believe that that's what happened.
I couldn't get a good picture of him, but you might be able to make him out in the center-distance...
Finally, for the sake of thematic consistency, I got a bit cleaned up at the car, changed into some clean(er) and comfortable clothes for driving, and then proceeded to have another celebratory muffin along another creek before finally pointing the car toward home.
In the end, Strava tells me this is what happened:
Day 1: East Eagle to Crater Lake - 7.25 miles, 3,187 feet gain
Day 2: Crater Lake to Mirror Lake - 18.25 miles, 4,247 feet gain
Day 3: Mirror Lake to Hidden Lake - 11.75 miles, 2,850 feet gain
Day 4: Hidden Lake to East Eagle - 9 miles, ~0 feet gain
Day 5: Strawberry TH to Little Slide Lake - 5 miles, 1,800 feet gain
Day 6: Little Slide to Strawberry Lake - 17.5 miles, 3,000 feet gain
Day 7: Strawberry Lake to Strawberry TH - 2 miles, 200 feet gain
7-Day Total: 70.75 miles, 15,285 feet gain
Yikes.

Flower Dome
Boasting the record for being the world’s largest greenhouse, the Flower Dome towers over the Gardens by the Bay. At 1.2 hectares, it’s the perfect place to visit year-round. Regardless of the weather outside, you can explore comfortably as you walk amongst the vouchers. My friend had been in Singapore a few weeks before I flew-in, and he made me promise I would make it a priority.
I don’t…

She's standing there, with the wind whipping through her hair like an afterthought. Eyes that have seen sunrises on peaks and valleys dipped in shadow. There's a trace of something in her gaze—half wonder, half weariness—as if the wind has been telling her stories all this while. Her backpack, a bulky companion worn by miles, looks almost a piece of her, strapped tight across her shoulders. Every line on her face whispers a tale of the dust and the distance; her skin has been kissed by the sun, but it's no gentle peck. It's the kiss of relentless days under an open sky that doesn't give a damn.
And yet, there's steel there, in the set of her jaw, a quiet defiance etched into the lines of her face. She's a testament—a living, breathing chronicle—that says more about life’s raw edges than a camera ever could. In the dimming light of the descending day, she's the narrative of every path she's trodden, the map of a journey that’s written in sinew and bone.
