National Park Beauty
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.

Snow Blind
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
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.

Vancouver Photo Guide: Life in Colour. Top Story - April 2020.
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?"

Nostalgia
Heraklion is a small island located a bit more than 200 miles from Athens, with an ambience so tranquil it has the power to make one finally feel like the air inside their lungs is exactly the same as the air outside their body. We had spent the fourth day of the trip wandering around in sweltering heat until it was cool enough to eat. So, well-fed and giddy we decided to take an explorative drive, stumbling upon a quaint fishing village. While the sun began to slumber and the sky became a palette of serene pastels, the Hunters full moon created a potent cocktail thought by the natives to bring energy and the courage to squash the psychological chains that hold us back, into our atmosphere. With the car window down and my head on my arm, I lazily watched the world go by like a cat at a window, lulled by the heady contrast in sensations. I was charged yet relaxed, free yet settled, content, but still curious. I took my phone out and quickly snapped the scene as the car drove at a leisurely pace, beautifully capturing the complex simplicity of that perfect evening. Looking at the picture the eyes move from unfocused branches to the needlepoint clarity of the moon, and finally to the stillness of the boat and sky.

Dear Raven
It was only about 4pm, and yet it felt like it had already been a very long day. We had arrived late at the Arches National Park in Utah. Or rather, to me it was late. See, I had wanted to get there early and be able to spend the whole day adventuring and exploring the park. Like most of my good intentions, it did not go as planned. However, I have learned that that is exactly how most great adventures come about.
