ok ok... slow down already!!

well life seems to be progressing really fast lately... the past 2 weeks flew by!!!! had a couple of super fun and memorable weekends!!!
last weekend, was jonny & Jessie's wedding!!! it was so good to see those guys and meet some new people up there, had a great time at the reception and camping, it was intense...get it, in tents, camping...geez you never laugh at my jokes! here are few shots i took while there (link)

this week i only worked till wednesday and took off thursday and friday to hang out with megan and dan who came down from seattle for a few days. its always so much fun with those 2. one afternoon we drove up to wildlife safari with her niece ana to check out the animals, it was so much fun and i took about a bazillion photos.

this weekend i caught up with my parents at the Jedediah Smith Redwoods state park. it was a reunion of sorts for their neighbors... we had dinner saturday night and there was about 40 people. friday night we all went on a tradition of theirs, a no flashlight hike into stout grove... talk about spooky, you couldnt see your hand in front of your face. but ended up being a lot of fun, maybe made it half way before we gave up and used flashlights. saturday night, after a crazy game of beer pong by flashlight where erin wittler and i kicked the champ's butts, all the younger folks had a bonfire on the beach, it was a drunken good time, we had the intention to sleep on the beach but me and erin wimped out and returned to our campsites. even had an encounter with some hardcore campground thugs... quite the joke after they left. in the morning we packed up camp and headed out for a hike. these trees always amaze me, seem to keep tripping when i'm looking up and not watching where i'm walking!! took a few really great pick. here is link to the pictures i took over the weekend.

on the drive home i stopped at my favorite wayside, a little grove of darlingtonia. took some amazing macro shots. i love my camera!! heres my shots (link)
