Happy anniversary to my favorite human and the biggest dork in my life. Thank you for being my rock and my support these last couple of years, and especially thank you for all of the memories we share. I can't imagine where I'd be now if it wasn't for you.

Beautiful sounds at #bearcreek . Had to stop for a moment and take it all in. I missed this kind of nature. #alphaphiomega #volunteer #creekweek #coloradosprings #colorado #creek #peaceful #nature (at Bear Creek Nature Center & Fountain Creek Nature Center)

Spent a couple hours this morning volunteering for #creekweek at #bearcreek . Had local #boyscout Troop 2000 also helping out today... we got so much done and even met some fun people! #alphaphiomega #volunteer #colorado #coloradosprings #cleanup (at Bear Creek Nature Center & Fountain Creek Nature Center)

Took a trip to California with my love to attend a family funeral, and so we decided to make a trip out of it. My laptop is, once again, back at the manufacturer for the second time this year. I think I had it maybe a month (part of that included being away in Cali) and I'm so far behind on photos it's not even funny. So here are my phone pics of my trip to California, including a couple of selfies, because it's only been two weeks since I last saw my other half and it hasn't been easy. I miss him so much. #sanfrancisco #baybridge #goldengatebridge #fog #datenight #fishermanswharf #pier39 #alcatraz #travel #photography #photo #pacificocean #seafood

Been on campus for a whole week so far... I don't think it's possible to get tired of these views!! This city is so gorgeous and I love waking up to these mountains every day. #uccs #inlove #pikespeak #coloradosprings (at UCCS)

It's April, which means I have 4 more months until I'm back to this wonderful place. I'm excited, but also a bit nostalgic, because AZ still has so much more for me to explore and experience before I go! #mountains #colorado #travel #photography #nikon #nikond3200 #nikon📷 #nikonphotography #adventure #gardenofthegods #beautiful #home #pikespeak #cosprings #coloradosprings (at Garden of the Gods Park)

Went out for a #drive over #springbreak and got outside the city a bit to see the #stars . Kinda impressed myself a bit. I didn't stay out there long, because as soon as the last car in the area (besides myself) left, I started hearing something out in the desert. Couple minutes later, it's the sound of something stalking me and I'm out of there like a bat outta hell. It was probably a ways away or at the very least peaceful, but I wasn't taking my chances! #adventure #fourpeaks #az #visitarizona #photography #astrophotography #nighttimephotography #glow #glowfromthecity #phoenix #mountains #travel #nikon #nikond3200 #nikonphotography @visit_arizona @abc15arizona @azcentral @cbs5az @fox10phoenix

A cool day in Phoenix is making me miss being up in the mountains and out of the valley. Here's a little #tbt to back when my mom was in town and I was still shooting #jpeg . I've learned a lot about shooting and my camera since then, and now that everything is in #raw format, I kinda want to retrace my steps and retake my photos! #sedona #arizona #az #travel @abc15arizona @visit_arizona #mountains #findyourpark #photography #nikon #nikon📷 #d3200 #nikonphotography #collectingmoments #throwbackthursday #learneveryday

One of my favorites from #upperantelopecanyon The canyon itself is on #reservation land, so you have to book a tour in order to get into it. But once you're inside, it's #magical . The inside itself is carved by Arizona's monsoon season in the summer, so all of these waves are actually from the water. Hoping to get this one framed and printed real soon. Had a wonderful #tourguide who helped everyone with their photos. #upperantelope #canyon #tour #photography #travel #adventure #lakepowell #arizona #photo #beautiful #photogenic #scenic #nativeamerican #art #naturalwonder #nature #nofilter (at Upper Antelope Canyon)
