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.

i hope i never take these places, this time, or this human for granted. #swoon
i used to enjoy taking creative photos and using this platform as a place to curate and share my work, but lately what’s been most important to me is the time spent/adventures had with the ones i love most..and just being more present. . i don’t always have something to say, and when it comes to sharing photos these days, i don’t always know why i’m sharing, and i’d much rather just get physical prints made. . as with most things in life, i think it’s all an ebb & flow, and i’m just trying to find the right balance. . excited for another montana winter and the snowy adventures to come🙌🏼
i realize it sounds dramatic, but i feel like i’m missing a limb when i travel anywhere without this girl by my side...
“we do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. as the ocean “waves,” as the universe “peoples.” every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”
it feels like the season has changed almost overnight, and that’s exactly how summer rolled in this year.. looking back i can’t believe how fast it went by, and parts of it kinda feel like a dream now, so i’m glad i’ve got the photo evidence; it was hands down one of the best of my life though.
it’s so easy to stay in the moment around the birds. i think it’s because i’m in a constant state of wonder, relishing their existence and the fact that i get to be so close to them. . they may not care too much about me unless i’ve got some mice or fish to offer, but what they provide for me is pretty invaluable, and i kinda wish i could tell them that.
paddling into the most breathtaking canyon as the storm rolled in. . mentally putting myself back in this moment today...
sippin’ our instant coffee at 8200 feet moments after a wolverine loped by and stopped to say hello...life’s just better with this guy in it.
take me back to frigid river baths and whooshing nighthawks and horse & mule dinner guests and subpar (yet somehow delicious) instant coffee.
it was the happiest i’ve been in a long time...being out there in amazing company, trying to soak up each moment as it came...even the ones where we were drenched in the rain, and the one where we flipped our raft and missed our second camp (only to come across another hot spring about a mile away). it was hard to leave the river; disconnecting from the digital world is so good for the soul..
miss my morning chats with duncan.. fun fact: red tailed hawks are very vocal and their loud cries are usually what’s dubbed over (the much less majestic sounding) bald eagles in movies.
trying to remind myself not to resist and to just go with the flow these days (rivers are great reminders for this one). so much is changing and i don’t know exactly what’s coming, but things always turn out better than i imagine anyway...
