I know it feels futile - that’s what authoritarians want you to think. Instead, take a look at this website. It lists out important issues locally and nationally as well as your house and senate reps contact info. It includes an outline if you’re not sure what to say. Use your voice. 💙

Yep! North of Summit County.

Went on a much needed solo hike with the pups on Saturday to a very popular lake. It pays off to hike during shoulder season. When the fall leaves disappear so do many of the hikers. It had this place all to myself. 🙌

Fall is coming to and end and winter is right around the corner so naturally I’m reminiscing about the summer.

I agree. The narrative they have tried to create to avoid admitting that so many Americans hate him is infuriating.

“We the People” felt real today.

Such a beautiful day for a peaceful protest in Denver.

I'll be there — Denver, CO! What about you?

I have too much to say and not enough to say most of the time.

It’s been a beautiful fall in CO. This was about a week before the “peak”. I’ll never get over the golds creeping up the mountains.

Crisp fall morning. The feeling of the first rays of sunshine striking your face as you stand alone in a field of sage brush.

Fall in the West. This time last year I witnessed this beautiful scene in Utah. Can’t beat it.

Mountains framed by aspens and changing leaves.

I struggle to find the passion I once had for editing my photography and sharing it. The world often seems too bleak to be posting a pretty picture. Recently though, I’ve felt a little more of that joy resurface. Here’s one recently that sucked me in and I’m really proud of.

Low clouds break to reveal the Gore Range in Colorado on a crisp fall morning. Yellow aspens dot the foreground.

I’ve been holding onto this photo of a perfect Glacier reflection for years. Feels like a good palate cleanser as we have more and more lies shoved down our throats by this administration. If you have to redact your name from a doc, you’re in the doc.

I spent the weekend in the mountains with limited cell service fully focused on finding all the summer wildflowers. Here are just a few to brighten your day.

A little flower action for your Friday. I was given these day lilies by my 91 year old grandma last year. We like to talk about the joy of gardening while lamenting the fall of democracy. It’s called balance.

Call me crazy, but my idea of making America great involves a lot fewer kidnappings and concentration camps.

Despite all the bad days and mean people, I still believe in good days and kind people. Plus, there are always dogs.

With all the chaos and fear that is being unleashed on the American people, particularly in LA, it is hard to find joy or peace. I feel paralyzed most of the time by the news. If all I can provide is a peaceful photo once in a while that is what I will do. That and donate to ACLU ✌️#fuckfascism

Made my calls to Congress today. Truth be told, I’ve always called after hours due to anxiety about speaking with someone. I got through to an aide for two of my reps and spoke with them about the Budget Reconciliation Bill. Not nearly as scary to speak with someone as I thought it would be 🤗

This all makes me so sick. 😡

Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · May 7

It’s really is. I kept thinking “it’ll be worth it, it’ll be worth it” while I was fighting for breath on the way up 😂
