This keeps echoing in my mind, thinking about people "dancing" for ICE, falling for the lies.

"And now you steal [them] away
Take him out today
Nice work you do
You're gonna go far kid.

...Now dance ****er dance, man he never had a chance and Noone even knew it was really only you"

Favorite capture during my weekend in Boston.

The USS Constitution, also known as old ironsides. She stands strong in Boston along the freedom trail.

Even when the world feels black, white or gray; there is beauty all around us in every way.

A Black and white image captures a spider web using a micro lens. Gentle water droplets can be seen as little beads within the web, magnifying it's simple patterned beauty.

This earth day, remember that our home is full of life and beauty that constantly surrounds us.

Today, search for beautiful life around you and hold it all close to your heart. The more we love this beautiful place, the harder we will fight to protect her.

Listen my children and you shall hear...

250 years ago, the shot heard around the world fired and the American Revolution began.

Today I fight peacefully for freedom, with photo reminders that this country is beautiful, and our lands must remain protected.

Mount Rainier through the Goat Rocks Wilderness in Washington, along the pacific crest trail.

I will summit Rainier, one day. It will be tough, and tiring and take more grit than I think I have in me. Mountains are tough- the journey is hard. If you stay strong, you'll get to the top.

The greatest joys are those shared with your best friend.

Most of our joy is outside, exploring together.

These spaces must stay protected.

Public lands go beyond preserving trees - they also protect our histories.

Today we explore the islands in Maine and enjoy the hike to Kennebec River. Yesterday, families grew up protecting the sailors who navigated thru this dangerous river.

Bald Preserve, Squirrel Point Lighthouse in Maine

A sunny summer day shows mowed green grass down a slight include to a striking blue river, where trees frame the image on the other side of the water. A boardwalk is shown leading down to the main capture: a short white Lighthouse, topped with a bright red light shining beautifully through the sunlight.

A photo a day for our public land protections.

This is just a reminder for when things feel dark, to turn toward the light ✨️

Umpqua National Forest, Oregon

A dense canopy of tall pine trees darken a pine covered trail, which slopes upward. A girl in a white jacket is walking, turning toward the sunshine. A bright beam of sunlight streams through the canopy, waiting for the hiker to round the corner into the brightness.

A reminder that National Park protection is a world wide phenomenon.

Thanks to those globally who stand with the people in America who advocate for our rights.

Captured in a moment of awe at the stunning waterfalls in Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia.

A blonde girl in a blue flannel shirt and jeans sits on top of a rock with arms thrown wide open, and a big smile on her face. Behind her, threads of waterfalls cascade down a golden cliffside.

This land is OUR land, to protect and to cherish.

The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone at sunrise, captured shortly after I had lost my traveling home to wildfires. In chaos, you can find peace. Sometimes you just have to wake up early and hike to it.

Captured in Yellowstone National Park

Gentle golden light filters through the gold rocks of a canyon, where a massive, powerful waterfall captures the attention. Massive spray can be seen as a cloud at its base, with a rushing river below, dim in the gentle sunrise light. Dark green pines line the river below.

A photo every day until our wild spaces are protected.

Climbing mountains is hard. The terrain can be difficult, temperatures uncomfortable, and the thin air hard to breathe. It is through the challenge though, that we can find peace.

South Sister Mountain, Deschutes National Forest in Oregon

A lone hiker with an orange pack approaches a snowfield, with stunning turquoise blue water pooling into a glacial lake. Surrounding the hiker are red and gray volcanic peaks, snow coating a portion in a strong white contrast.
