I'm a lover of adventure and a good story.  from san diego to off-the-grid living in montana, contrasts keep me curious and new experiences light me up. i feel most at home in untamed places amongst wildlife and i believe in living big, loving big and leaving places better than how we found them.

playing in cedars along the lochsa with my girl. we were both happy campers
Wish I could go back to this trip- one of my favorite adventures ever, with some of my favorite humans ever. There were a lot of magical moments, including getting to watch @erichins propose to @mhasenkrug ...and somehow the wedding weekend is already here🙌🏼
it’s hard to picture myself anywhere else.
tomorrow, i move again. i will have lived in four different places in this tiny town over a three year period. making a big change like this feels chaotic at first and causes me to look back and get nostalgic, (especially for my birds...baby ducks included) but i feel pretty good about this move; i can’t wait to fall asleep to the sound of the river again.
backtracking lynx through waist-deep snow...turns out they like to take the scenic route, too.
think it’s the first time i’ve felt like winter’s goin by too fast..
i woke up thinking “valentine’s day is dumb,” but then he told me how much he loved me and surprised me with flowers and chocolate and dinner, and it made me get teary-eyed and realize i was being a scrooge. cause any day that focuses on love is an amazing day. . ...and it’s a good excuse to post my favorite photo of one of my favorite adventures with my favorite human 💕
cozy cabins with the doggos, hot springs , @rainier_beer , and skiing two birthdays in a row...i think we’ve found ourselves a tradition.
when adventures don’t go as planned, i’m happy to have this crew by my side. we got plenty of sun and laughs in before things went downhill (faster than we literally did), but as with any less-than-ideal situation, we learned a lot. . and i was reminded of how awesome this group of humans is..including some not present and the one who came to our aid.
when i think back to the time i spent with my birds, i realize how much it helped to mentally keep me in check. it reminded me that there’s so much more goin on out there than what i worry about in the little world in my head. and it just felt good to give my time to something bigger than myself. hoping i can get back to these guys this year. (also, kestrel colors/patterning are some of my favorites)
we decided to take off on an adventure for christmas, and i’m so glad we did. first time to this part of canada and first two backcountry ski tours under my belt. not pictured: me cursing and struggling up every steep switchback...lucky my guy is the most patient, cool, calm & collected human who still makes me smile even when we take the wrong way down in the dark.
i hope i never take these places, this time, or this human for granted. #swoon
