A woman (Britt), small, standing in front of a big granite rock face with lots of texture

The peak of a distant mountain peeking through a gap in some foreground trees

Four people walking on a beach. They're in cold-weather clothing; it's misty, there are a couple of large rock formations sticking out of the water in the distance.

A large triangular rock formation (aka haystack) sticking out of the surf, photographed from a beach. The haystack has a couple of trees growing out of it, has a narrow smaller formation next to it, and is reflected in the wet sand.

The front half of a foot, in a sandal, photographed from above, standing on top of a bed of seaweed.

A fern patch, with some patches of sunlight reflecting off of the fronds

Britt walking through a field in front of a very tall-looking stand of firs

A gigantic snow-capped mountain (Mt Baker), snow covered and shining in the sunlight

Britt, with her body facing away but with her face turned back towards the camera - eyes closed, smiling - in front of a jagged mountain range in the distance

A man (Justin) stands agape in the foreground, pantomiming amazement, while a very modestly-sized 80s-looking piece of decorative architecture (the Sunsphere) sits behind him in the middle distance

Britt jumping, arms raised, in front of a rock wall.

A man (me), crouching under a semi-circular twisted branch, on a cliff above the sea

Three deer laying in a grassy lawn, dotted with clover flowers. An older-looking house sits behind them.

Dramatic clouds at sunset, above some dark, moundy-looking mountains

Two women photographed from behind, scooting on scooters down a main street in a downtown area. In the oncoming lane is a weird-looking three wheeled vehicle.

String lights hanging from a tree in a garden

A dark silhouette of a conifer, in front of a dark late-evening sky and some mountains

White puffy clouds floating in a big (presumably blue) sky behind a metal swinging cattle gate.

Britt, photographed from behind, climbing over barnacled rocks on a beach with a big haystack in the background. She's pretty close to the camera, and about to prop herself up with her left hand, which is fully extended.

Britt climbing haystacks again, in a photo that looks like it was taken a few seconds after the last one. She is further away, still carefully balancing. Also the photo is much brighter than the last one.

Britt turning around to look at the camera while walking ahead of the camera, hiking next to a man (Justin), behind a larger group of hikers.

Britt standing and smiling for a portrait, smiling, toes pointed to the sky, curled.

Britt and I selfie by the water

A glowy forest. The ground is carpeted with moss and the tree trunks are blooming with light shining between them.

Britt, in a kayak, on a glassy swamp, tipping her baseball cap, beneath a canopy of large trees.

Me, in a hotel room, photographing myself in the mirror and Britt getting ready behind me.

Britt standing on a paved path at sunset, with some sunglasses and a neutral expression. Behind her are rows of trees bathed in glowy light. The photograph is rather grainy.

Four camp chairs on a grassy knoll, facing a cover, and the sea, and some islands. Three of them are occupied, with people watching the water. One is empty.
