Had an incredible bucket list adventure while in A Had an incredible bucket list adventure while in Alaska! Coastal bear watching in Katmai National park. No barriers, no general public, just a few photographers and an expert guide walking the same path as the bears, trudging through mud and the river to get an epic encounter! This beautiful female walked calmly right by us. Only 25 ft away!
Ran away from the angry ocean and went camping in Ran away from the angry ocean and went camping in the desert instead! I had no idea scorpions can glow like that! Wish I had a macro lens with me but glad I was still able to capture this! 

The hyaline layer of the exoskeleton is what reacts with the black light and what creates the rave ready glow. 

I’m also stoked I now have a great way to inspect for scorpions before closing up my tent. 🤣

We’ve had mostly cloudy skies and drizzling rain We’ve had mostly cloudy skies and drizzling rain while here in Alaska, which is still beautiful! But the weather finally eased up and I was able to pull out the drone! Unfortunately, I was overly excited to fly and pushed some limits… This is the drone photo I took before I lost connection… and proceeded to have a panic attack for about the next 10 min. Till miraculously, I regained control. 🤣🙄😩

We were insanely lucky and caught this burrowing owl finishing up breakfast! They are such cute little fluff balls till blood is smeared over their beak. 🤣

Route 66 runs through the states of Illinois, Miss Route 66 runs through the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. The highway became one of the most famous roads in America. For decades, this historic path served thousands who were migrating west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.⁠

This was shot while @brerica2015 and I spotted each other to dodge traffic.🤣 #safetyfirst

Celebrating #earthday by reminiscing about all the Celebrating #earthday by reminiscing about all the adventures I’ve been so lucky to have! This was the first and only time I’ve witnessed the northern lights... and it was completely by mistake! 🤣 while visiting family in Canada, I was out shooting the night sky and Milky Way. I started to notice other people coming out of their cabins and looking up behind me. I turned around and realized I was definitely facing the wrong direction! 🤣 those lights lit up the sky behind me and it was breathtaking! ❤️
