I Survived the Alaskan Wilderness!
Apologies for the short post this week, but I am operating on very little sleep (about three hours) having just returned on a delayed red-eye. I’m working to get back to my day-to-day life following one of the most amazing trips of my life, but it’ll take a little time.

This Week on Instagram: 5/5/17
Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
This is also a special post… it marks my 200th! I can’t believe I’ve managed to write up 200 posts; that seems crazy to me! But I’m glad to have you all with me.
This week, Instagram saw steady viewership; these were all fairly close. I’m still trying to get more visibility (that’ll always be the goal), but consistency at least tells me my photos are consistent. Sometimes, I feel like a slack slightly on what I post, but I generally like all of the photos this week.
First is of a beautiful morning in Yosemite Valley. We had to come back a second day to capture this, and it was entertaining behind the camera. If you missed it, you can read that photostory here.
