Never have I seen as many flowers growing wild in my life. Miles and miles through open terrain lupine grow fluently and aggressively. Fields of purple, waist high deep. We would pull over ever now and

One morning I was leaving for work and noticed my windshield was glazed over in a beautiful array of snow crystals! With the sun just coming up over the mountains the scene was life giving. So delicate

My hometown used to be a booming city full of life. It used to have a greyhound bus station and restaurants and a movie theatre. Nowadays, were lucky enough to have a population high enough to consider

If I were to stand still and do nothing, if I were to watch from afar, what different would it make anyways? If I were to go forth and carry on, if I were to create a movement for the sake of passion,

For today's color challenge I am sharing one of the photos I took in the Painted Hills. This place was like being in a candy land of different colors and stripes and landscapes. This trip was at the end

Currently I'm on the mountain. My fingers are freezing I can barely write. This sunset though... all the colors agreed and painted an image ever so lovely.

In such a place as this, we have hope. Hope as an anchor for our souls, so that, we may also find the joy in every road.

I remember walking into the forest and thinking I was in a whole other world, like at any moment it could consume me. If only it would have consumed me, taking me away from myself. Sometimes it's worrisome

There has never been an animal like this dog. Blue is the most sympathetic creature I have ever met. In this photo, he was laying in my chair, staring out the window, and waiting for his person to come

I remember standing there and thinking, we could so easily be consumed. The rush of the water and the rage it bellowed. We had already past a half dozen other misty falls to reach this one and by the time

In October of 2015, my sister @joleenwillis and I went to visit South America because she had won a contest for a free trip (amazing, I know...seems like that never happens)! One morning we got on a rickety

Every time I go on a walk, down through the apple orchards, I pass by this old abandoned house. The windows are broken, it's empty inside and the vines are taking over, creeping through an open door. It

And this is life, that we should live it. That we should get to experience the vast realm of possibilities and the undertow of differences. In doing so, realizing that everything that is different is also,

We met this guy right after witnessing a motorcycle running over a cat in the street. The cat went flying in the air (like in a cartoon) and spun around in circles and then disappeared . I'm not even sure

When I first saw this car, on the side of the road, I knew it had to be mine. I'm not usually into cars and I wouldn't be able to have a sturdy conversation about them, but when I came across this beaut

Going to a place I've never been before and finding out it's my new favorite is the most satisfying feeling. I remember hiking out to this place and feeling absolutely alive while also living in a dream.

At least for a moment you can dream you own the gold van parked there. And your friend can demand a picture in front of it to make us feel good and like we're going places. And even if we can't keep the

Last March I spent some time in India, where naturally I thought it was a good idea to get some henna done. When we came to the city of Varanasi, which boarders the Ganges River, I found a small shop on

I've tried and tried and tried to get Nana to stop eating rocks, but she has never listened. @juliank for the animal photography contest!
