For the past few days, I have a hurting shoulder and neck from sleeping odd hours and bad posture, stopping me from going out and do stuff. But today we had an amazing winter day in the sun, had to leave my habitat and go for a hike.

It isn’t quite winter-winter in the Pacific Northwest yet. Well, at least not by the definition of winter in this general area (this far north from the equator) in the northern hemisphere. PNW winters however, are subtle: occasional snow but mostly it rains. The forests are still green, not just the coniferous trees but undergrowth comprising mostly of ferns and rustic winterproof trees and shrubs such as holly. The forest floor was wet brimming with life - flora, mostly with frequent symptoms of the presence fauna in all forms, insects to mammals.

Three hours later, I had a handful of Apple ProRAW files from my phone exported into Lightroom Mobile for editing.
