The Mountains or The Beach, Why Not Both?
People often ask “What do you prefer, the mountains or the beach?” it was a tough one, as a Californian the beach and the mountains are only two hours apart. This is a shot from the Rocky Mountain National Park of a frozen Bear Lake. After a long day of working at the Y in Estes Park Colorado, we rented out some spikes for shoes and decided to hike around bear lake. We were all amazed when the sun started setting and it almost looked like that peak was an erupted volcano. It was a cold November day and it had been a slippery hike but it was completely worth it. I did do some editing to the photo to make the image a little brighter and sharper and had to photoshop a photographer out of the way but it’s still inspiring to look and this view made me forget everyone else.

I have always wanted to travel and see the world, see new cultures and learn what I can from the diverse world we live in. Being born and raised in Iowa, means that what I know is fairly limited. 80% of my state is farmland, and I’ve always said that when you’re here, you’re never more than 10 minutes from the closest cornfield. By the time I had come to college I had never left America, and had only moved about an hour and a half away from where I grew up. I enrolled at Iowa State University to study graphic design. I hope that when I graduate at the end of this year, and plan to find work outside of Iowa and leave the cornfields behind. Because of my desire to travel and see the world, I learned about an organization called Camp Adventure. This organization trains students to lead day camp programs and swim lessons for our military around the world.

Our relationship with nature has shifted so dramatically through the course of humanity. From the early hunter gatherer nomadic civilizations, where humans were forced to interact with nature, to the modern world, where we spend nearly 90% of our time indoors. While this new world brings the luxury of safety, privacy, and shelter, there is something we have lost.

In September 2018, I traveled to Iceland with my partner at the time. We rented a camper van and drove around the entire otherworldly island in search of things we had only seen in blogs and YouTube video diaries. I remember coming across this beach that one can only image in their dreams. At that time of year, there's an area of the shore that is so shallow you feel like you're walking on water. Just out of frame is a huge mountain that everyone else was enthralled by. Many of the people posing in this photo are using that as their background.

Zion National Park, like many national parks, holds a enormous amount of beauty and wonder. This Photo was captured on the only paved trail in the park that allows the walking of dogs. I had traveled from Wisconsin to the Rocky Mountains, Great Sand Dunes, multiple canyons, Arches, Great Basin, such varied and unique national parks with splendorous sights. Only to find my last national park to be that of Zion in Utah. Along with me for the ride was my, at the time, eleven month old Australian Shepherd puppy, Enzo. He was an amazing travel companion, despite a couple late-night accidents in the car, and had an awesome time visiting these national parks, typically leaning out the window as we drove on the scenic drives to catch all the sights. This photo may be of Zion, but the true beauty in it is the journey that Enzo and I had to reach that spot and for me to be able to take that particular photo.

was probably one of the coldest winters I can remember, and the amount of snow that fell on our little lake community was amazing. My roommate, another female about my age, and myself had moved up to Vallecito in the spring of the preceding year. Spring through Autumn at Vallecito, CO are beautiful, but the winters can be brutal. This one in particular still stands out in my mind.

New York City. The Big Apple. The city that never sleeps. It is often understood that New York City is a chaotic place that is alive and thriving both day and night. When I visited in February of 2018, this is what I first thought and hoped to see. As I hopped out of the taxi, the streets were buzzing with the classic city hum; horns being tooted, people chattering and music blasting. This carried on into the night; the restaurants were all full to the brim with happy customers. The streets were also somewhat busier than during the day. For a first-time experience to the big city, it really was living up to its many names.

Being at one with nature can feel like winning a prize. I've been drawn to water and those calming, moody, blue landscapes for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I would always draw the bluest oceans and the darkest skies, as I grew older I would wander the seaside cliffs looking for the best spot to sit and look over the water, to daydream.
From Ancient Stones to Lands' End
It was April 2017, and I was experiencing wanderlust once more. I decided to check out more of merry ol' England, this time the southwestern side. I hopped on a plane and skipped across the Pond to see what I could see...

Hi there! Welcome to my Vancouver photo guide! :) I post a lot of photos from around Vancouver on my Instagram and I've had quite a lot of people asking me "Wow, here is that?" or "OMG I love that mural!" or "Please tell us where you take all these?"

I couldn’t quite get enough of Dunbeath Castle. From the initial emailed appointment, the long amazing first impression driveway with the overhanging leafless branches, the friendly welcome from the gardener, to the walled winter gardens, the warm and bright sun (surprisingly so as it had rained almost the whole 40 minute drive there) reflecting on the ocean and of course, the castle itself, built neatly on the cliffside of the North Sea in Northern Scotland. Somewhere beyond the eye can see will be Norway, Denmark and the North East Coast of Scotland.
