Chew On This
@imeihsu.bsky.social
Nurse, Counselor, Nutrition and Health Coach, Ironman + Ultrarunner. I love the outdoors, animals, lifting, dance, and travel. Cat is an American Bobtail. Husband-Creature is my Canadian ESA. PNW is home.
Still interested in connecting with other Bellydancers, SWANA, and MEHNAT dancers, dancers of color.
New-to-me costume, first fitting. I take photos and video to see how it fits and moves. Since I grew some lats, adjustments must be made!

The PNW is deep into, “The Big Dark,” the stretch of days when the beginning and ending are the same - darkness.
Light, functional and artistic, is essential.

It’s the camera angle that makes her look like Jabba the Hutt. Really, she’s not chonky. Fat shaming is real.

The trails along the I-90 corridor are little gems. Even in late Fall, you can get lucky with good weather, yet you still need to beat it out quickly unless you like hiking in the dark.

Freshly introduced to traction spikes for hiking, and I did not know what I did not know about avalanche danger. Yet everything was awesome.

Overpass near Glen Canyon, AR (Oct. 2025, iPhone 16 pro).
Driving through Utah and Arizona has been a dream, with sunny skies, canyons everywhere, red rock serving as eye candy.
I did not stop for the canyons this time, though I have archived photos. #photography #glencanyon #nature

My nearby mountain (Tahoma, aka Mount Rainier, October 2025).
The “Big Dark” has finally begun after unusually warm temperatures in Fall, and the last long hikes and runs above 70F gives way to headlamps and long pants.

Beautiful Fall hiking (Alpine Lakes, October 2021 iPhone 13s)
Again, I usually don’t include myself in the subject I’m shooting. I set up the shot for video, had someone hold the camera at a better height than ground, and I caught some air.
