Chinook Pass finally opened shortly before my previous ride to Hurricane Ridge, so I had to check it out. Once ascending out of the forests, I got serious "national park" vibes like when I visited Yellowstone many years ago. The only other pass highway that compared in my memory was the North Cascades Highway! (Blog Post, Album (202 photos), 14 photos attached) #motorcycle #photography #photog #photos #photo

Not only that, I also checked out the Yakima River Canyon, which was another route on my bucket list. There really isn't anything as refreshing as a cool river oasis surrounded by desert hills!

What a weekend! With two rides over two of the passes, I saw Roslyn, Cle Elum Lake, and Leavenworth with lovely weather (aside from some rain in the mountains on Saturday). Feels like #motorcycle season is finally heating up!

Many, many more photos to come soon. #photography #photog #photos #photo

Our return home featured not only a very long ferry ride, but also @clover 's first time driving in snow! Things went pretty smoothly the whole way home, nonetheless, as we stopped by the towns of #Anacortes and #LaConner. We also made a quick stop at the Seattle Premium Outlets in Marysville so @clover could look at shoes. (Album)

Finally got around to tagging and uploading all of the photos from the trip to the San Juan islands that @clover and I went on back in February. #photography #photog #photos #photo #Washington #WashingtonState #PugetSound #SanJuanIslands

Our last full day in the islands was on Lopez, which was by far the quietest one. Not only did we see few cars on the road, we only found a few restaurants even open! The beautiful island scenery certainly made up for the lack of food options. Our dinner and stay were at the Lopez Islander, which was very cozy. (Album)

Our next day was spent on Orcas Island, which gave us even more beautiful sights around Mount Constitution and Moran State Park. Even our accommodations were nice at Pebble Cove Farm, which even had farm animals roaming about! (Album)

When we showed up, I went into the main house, only to find that it was actually a private residence, and that it was being house sat by someone who was as confused as we were. I'll never forget that awkwardness…

After a rough time getting out there (it was @clover 's first long drive, after all), and a _very_long ferry ride, we had a very chill time on San Juan Island. I'd been there a couple times before over my life, but it had been yeears. We spent a lot of time around Friday Harbor, but also checked out South Beach, as well as the scenery along the way.

I haven't been uploading a couple of big trips' worth of #photos because I've been working on a new tag editor. With it, I won't need to mess around with #Flickr's uploading UI as much. (Photo)

I wrote it in #Java since it's what I've been writing the most because of work. As much as people love to hate on it, there are a number of things I like about Java 8+. #photography #programming #photog
