not very far from my house on Easter Sunday. i realized that spring isn’t really its own season, it’s all the rest of them smushed together, and unfortunately, that includes winter.
you make me wanna
this post’s title is a very oblique reference to the song “cruise” by florida georgia line, beause this was taken on a cruise. a very short cruise, with the goal of seeing whales and dolphins off the coast of san diego about 3 weeks ago. didn’t see any marine mammals, but we did catch this really nice sunset.
the jewel
soon, i will get to play on the beach, as these seals do all day, every day.
capeesh?
full house pilgrimmage complete!
live free or die
STILL working through foliage pics from my 2018 vermont/new hampshire trip. this is in the flume gorge near woodstock, NH.
sausalito
this is mt tamalpais, near sausalito which incidentally, is also the name of my 4th favorite pepperidge farm cookie.
the bayou
i learned that you need to watch your step while on the bayou, i almost crushed this lil guy/gal! this lizard (i don’t know what kind it is) lives in the gulf islands national seashore, not far from biloxi, MS.
colorado
in travel
this isn’t in colorado, but being here reminded me of the florida georgia line song of the same name, since that song references the great smoky mountains in tennessee. i snapped this on the tennessee side of the TN/north carolina border.
the emerald city
i’d say seattle is the city/metro area i know 3rd best, behind MSP and San Diego. but i got to see it in a new way on a super fun boat cruise i went on back in 2018.
smuggler's notch
just a little late on the fall foliage pics. but better late than never. this is pretty close to stowe, vt.
energy vortices
i dunno, i didn’t feel anything too special at this specific energy vortex, other than gratitude for the view.
explore mn
thowback to my first time at split rock!
the rediscovery of big bug creek, az
this wasn’t actually at big bug creek, but it’s in the same county. this is courthouse butte, as seen from the trail at sunrise.
winter solstice
are you having a nice winter? this is timm’s hill near omega, wisconsin. it’s the highest point in the state.
in a region of clouds
i hereby resolve to post here more regularly. just got back from sedona, the views from all energy vortices i visited were great, but this one in boynton canyon was especially nice.
trip of the year?
i’ve been #blessed to be able to travel quite a bit this year, but this particular trip was especially nice. i first went to montana at age 14 and since then had always day dreamed about exploring it in more depth, as well as whatever else was on the road on the way out to the washington coast. in the intervening 23 years, i’ve had 3 failed attempts and finally did it this summer.
additionally, with any type of creative project i do, i have two goals that hopefully coincide: capture how i felt at the moment, and communicate that feeling to the audience in an emotionally honest way. well, i feel like there are parts of this video that accomplish my first goal (especially part 3, scene b), and i’ll leave it you to decide if i delivered on the second goal.
prairie view
imaginary roads
near my one of my happiest places in Windham County, Vermont. if this image doesn’t convey my emotions about being here, then i suggest you listen to “Garage Planet’ by Will Ackerman to fill in the rest.
Glacier
This was the reward for an 18 hour drive, including an overnight shift across northern Montana.
BEARS
Oh my, the bears of Katmai.
