Popof Island Valentine's Day

We spent Valentine's Day in the backcountry hiking around, enjoying the views, the beautiful warm weather (funny how the 30's feel like short-sleeves weather these days), and each other's company. The shot of Jim alone is while heading up Suicide Hill (of which we wondered, who could jump once they saw the beauty they had to live for?) The locals tell us people drive old trucks and other things they want to be rid of forever (no, really?) to the top and over the edge into the Pacific. As usual, these pictures don't capture it. We're always disappointed at how small and contained everything turns out in our photos. Please amplify by 1000, then add three dimensions, true vibrant color, the wind on your face, the grainy feeling of being unable to catch your breath from the walk, and the divine smell of outside-ness--and you'll still need to see it with your own eyes to believe it.
