We all have a cell phone.
In 2012, I first noticed my phone could actually take good pictures. Fast forward to today, and we have phones boasting 200-megapixel cameras! It's incredible how far camera technology has come in just a decade. But even with these advancements, the most important element remains the person behind the lens. It's their individual perspective that makes sharing photos so meaningful. Every picture shared is a glimpse into the photographer's world. That's why the best camera is the one you have readily available. For me, that's my phone—always with me, always ready to capture a moment.
This silly doggy wanted a whiff.
My perfume game was clearly on point in La Conner. We were strolling past the gift shops, you know, doing that crucial window-shopping research (aka, seeing what we weren't going to buy), when suddenly, from the street parking, I heard this SNORT. Like a truffle pig had found a twenty-dollar bill. Turns out, this dude – let's just say he wasn't exactly delicate – was giving me the full olfactory inspection. I'm pretty sure he was trying to figure out if I was edible. I like to think he decided I smelled too expensive.
When traveling through Grizzly COuntry you might have to run.
Driving west through Pemberton, British Columbia, we were constantly reminded by signs that we were entering grizzly country. It's a little unnerving to leave the car in those areas! Thankfully, my phone was all I needed for photos. The only bear we encountered was a black bear, and it quickly scurried away from us.
A glimpse of the sun makes you a quick draw.
Our Golden, British Columbia cabin was idyllically situated on an island in the Columbia River—a beautiful, quiet, and serene spot. However, our off-grid escape meant no electricity, and the weather was mostly cold and foggy. Then, the evening before we left, a miracle happened: the sun broke through at dusk. I instinctively grabbed my phone from my pocket, nearly dropping it in the river in my haste, and snapped a quick, hazy photo.
