This weekend Rachel and I decided to take a look at Oregon's beautiful Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. For the first time in awhile, we found ourselves standing in front of wide open spaces. The Tualatin Refuge is best known as a home to some 200 species of birds, 50 species of mammals, 25 species of reptiles and amphibians, and a wide variety of insects fish and plants. As we wandered the trails we found a quiet solitude, our own secret garden in which the weight of the world seemed all at once lighter.

I've been wanting to do some self portraits for a while. Kailey always says it's the best thing to do when you feel directionless or out of touch with yourself. I hadn't expected this hike to be an opportunity for me to try one. The trail was not as private as I would like for a nude, but we found a secluded spot and I found myself in a lovely setting so I decided to give it a shot. I love the result, especially after I paired it with some flowers I had been attracted to at the beginning of the trail.
