This is what a land dyke looks like

Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text for future visitors to this website.

This is a self-portrait I took the first time I visited the lesbian lands of Oregon. I was living on this little cabin behind me, on a land owned by two amazing old lesbians who welcomed me and showed me their pictures, their friends, their community. I wanted to take a picture to remember that moment, when I felt like I belonged to this place and was meant to come here, when I felt like a true land dyke, sitting on the porch of my cabin, on a beautiful lesbian-owned land.
