Happy Galentine's Day! This drink is for all the women in your life who have supported, cared for, laughed, cried, and loved with you.

💖 Grapefruit French 75 🥂

💖 Grapefruit Simple Syrup Ingredients 💖

2 cups grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed (about 3 grapefruits)
1 cup sugar

💖 Grapefruit French 75 Ingredients 💖

2 ounces gin
1 ounce concentrated grapefruit simple syrup
1 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
1 cup (or two handfuls) ice
3 to 4 ounces sparkling wine to top
1 grapefruit peel, for aroma and garnish

💖 Grapefruit Simple Syrup Instructions 💖

Pour the grapefruit juice into a small saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook until reduced to 1 cup.

Once the grapefruit juice has been reduced, add the sugar. Stir and cook until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Take off the heat and allow to cool completely. Store in a mason jar or other airtight container in the fridge.

This makes about 1 to 1 ¼ cups, enough for about 10 cocktails.

💖 Grapefruit French 75 Instructions 💖

Add two handfuls of ice into a cocktail shaker. Add the gin, grapefruit simple syrup, and grapefruit juice.

Shake vigorously until the shaker is sweating and cold to the touch.

Pour through a cocktail strainer over an 8-ounce coupe glass.

Top with the sparkling wine of your choice (about 3 to 4 ounces).

Twist the grapefruit peel over the surface of the drink, moving around the glass to make sure the aroma settles over the entire surface for maximum advantage.

Enjoy while cold. Cheers! 💖🥂

Beach photography can be challenging because of the starkness of the sky, ocean, and sand.

Without the magic of a dramatic sunrise or sunset, images can look flat, especially without a subject that doesn't stand out.

But I decided to emphasize the flatness in this image by making it black and white. Beached boats have a starkness and loneliness to them that a black and white edit helps emphasize.

This time on my favorite hike, I strapped an action camera to my chest instead of lugging around my camera bag and tripod.

The hike was much more relaxing and enjoyable 😂

While I didn't get any print worthy pictures this time, you can purchase this image in the print shop 💖

I recently babysat my nephews while they were taking their naps and the antics they got up to in their cribs was HIGHLY entertaining.

This is a little throw back to me and my cousin getting up to our own antics and another example of Day in the Life photography.

New print! I love all the different hues of green in this landscape.

This sunken ship has been sitting in Reedsport's Scholfield Creek for years. I always planned to take a picture of it, but I never got around to it.

This summer, after a walk on the beach, I scoped out the site in the afternoon, decided the best spot to shoot, and came back later in the evening to find the ship had disappeared.

I didn't account for the tide in my planning. When I was there in the afternoon, the tide was very low. But in the evening, it was high tide, and only the white roof was visible.

Getting a shot during golden hour or blue hour was impossible. And that's okay.

One of my favorite Day in the Life subjects: children and windows.

Something about windows fascinates kids and I love watching and capturing their wonder.

This was a picture I felt very lucky to capture and is an example of why it's always a good idea to have your camera ready when you're walking and exploring.

Nature really is beautiful 😍

I found a small little bee that was unfortunately dead. I took the opportunity to use my macro lens to capture different body parts of the bee up close and personal.

And the wings are stunning. The structure and translucency reminds me of stained glass.

How bees are able to fly remained a mystery until very recently. When studying their flight dynamics in the 1930s, it was discovered that the bodies of bees were too massive to be supported by their delicate wings.

It wasn't until the advent of high speed photography that the mechanisms of bee flight were fully understood.

First, bees actually have four wings - a pair of forewings and a pair of hindwings.

Each pair of front and back wings hook together in flight, which provides the lift they need to take flight.

Second, the shape of the hooked wings when they flap produce air vortices (aka mini tornados of air flow) at the leading edge. This helps provide the additional lift required for bees to fly.
