This week on Instagram featured a lot of scenic shots. I’m trying to shoot for a more consistent look on my Instagram, so I’m going to be a bit more particular with the images I choose to feature there. Let me know what you think!
This first one is from Hawaii. This was a beach we wanted to reach, but we had a really late start. We did make it down there (through the mosquitos), just in time for sunset and a darkening trek back up the massive hill. You can read about that adventure in depth here.
This next one is also from our trip to Hawaii – the beautifully cracked lava fields with Mauna Kea looming in the distance. It barely even looks like a mountain the incline is so gradual.
We saw this little guy at the summit of the Savage River Alpine Trail in Denali National Park. And while this isn’t quite a groundhog (he’s a ground squirrel), I chose this image for last week’s Monochrome Madness and for my February 2nd Instagram post. These little guys are so curious!
This is also from Denali National Park. I couldn’t get enough of that mist.
And another from Hawaii. When it’s all rainy and dreary here, I dream of those tropical beaches – of a simpler time.
Getting down to the final two, this was tough. This was for my Weekly Wow this week, though my actual wowing picture is a panorama. You can check it out right here. We were clouded in for the lunar eclipse, but the city sure was beautiful that morning well before dawn.
And finally, my top pick for this week is from beautiful Crater Lake. It’s crazy to think this spot was a complete blizzard only 24 hours prior. Those clouds added some nice texture to the sky, and I just love the colors.
This was also an image from my weekly challenge post this week for the theme “beloved” where I talk about how I wound up shooting the things I do. You can read the post here.
Which image do you like best? I’m always curious to hear what people think, as my personal opinions seem to differ from everyone else’s. Feel free to leave a comment below, and check out daily posts over on my Instagram account.
