Everyone seems to be sharing their top moments of 2016 so I figured it was about time for me conform and do that same. But I thought instead of just sharing my top moments, I'd share a little unglamorous truth behind each seemingly "picture-perfect" snap ? ••• I took this photo during a lovely few days I spent in Portland with my dad. On a day when the weather appeared to be behaving itself, we decided to road trip outside of the city so we could get our natural fix (this place is seriously phenomenal during fall). Unfortunately, as luck had it, it started raining as soon as we arrived at the falls. Alas, I was still determined to get a cool shot from the top of the falls, so I shielded my camera and trudged up the steps in the rain. When I reached the top, I literally had to sit in a muddy puddle with my legs wedged through two tiny gaps in bridge (with everyone looking at me like I was a crazy woman) in order to get this shot. It seemed totally worth it until I realized I had to walk around for the rest of the day with a wet, muddy butt. Anything for the 'gram ?
