I love french presses. When I was in Ashland, I had the most amazing coffee french press style and because of that, I try and order french press when I’m at cafes now. I know it’s usually like $1 more, but to me, it’s oh so worth it. ;)
This french press was from Cafe Calabria which I tried for the first time this past week. I definitely plan on going back and having more down the line, I did quite enjoy the coffee ;)

Just after Christmas, I took an afternoon and visited the ocean, to just get some time to myself & reconnect with the sea.
I love the light down here in the winter – it’s just so gorgeous.

A few things I’m enjoying lately:
+ love these outfits from Anthropologie.
+ this fabulous post from The Sartorialist about gracefulness and being graceful to one another.
+ dear creatures . their outfits are so flippin cute.
+ i would have so participated in this if i only lived in Portland!
+ hickorees is all kinds of awesome.
+ knitted items, especially wrapped around things.
+ the alexi murdoch station on pandora is probably the best thing ever.
+ i have yet to see the movie, but i totally want the book.
+ love this collection of plates.

Recently I photographed the lovely Denise in her new kitchen cooking up a storm — more specifically, cooking up some beet & kale salad, which to some may not sound appetizing, but it was delicious. I love beets, & kale and I are friendly, so I honestly can’t wait to try this recipe for myself.
See the rest of the images along with the recipe on Denise’s blog. ;)

Taking a break from all the roadtrip posting. Instead, some film of travel in the air. :)

So, here I am, back on the road again. This time I was heading back down south, towards home. But before reaching home, I had a few more stops to make. My next stop was namely Ashland, Oregon.
I’ve said before in the past posts about this trip that there is something about Oregon that just feels good to me. I think in large part is it due to the fact that it was where everything began for me.
And I’m going back to the beginning.
My next few posts are a bit hard for me to formulate, I really almost don’t know what to write. Half of me wants to write nothing at all and just let images talk. I haven’t quite decided yet.
Either way, here are the images from the part of the trip where I travel through Oregon again, this time on I-5. I especially enjoyed the fact that I had clouds & rain to entertain me the entire trip down. :)

One of my most absolute favorite images from the road trip, I thought it deserved it’s own post.
To wonder who this man was, where he has been & where he was going.
I hope he is well.
