Warning: photography may become addictive.  So much so, that your camera calls to you when you should be doing other things.. like work.  The pull didn't used to be so strong for me, nor was it so easy to acquiesce to its alluring beckoning.  But over time, it became easier.  It…

#NoRegrets. Most #Norwegianviewpoints had little #NoRegrets. Most #Norwegianviewpoints had little trails spidering away from the roadside placards. My explorative instincts would immediately kick in, and I'd just *have to know* what was at the end of the trail. While others were shooting pictures, I dashed down the path for as far as I dared.. and I was never disappointed. ... Where do you love to explore? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. I just couldn't get enough of this #Br #NoRegrets. I just couldn't get enough of this #BryceAmphitheater. At all times of the day, it was mesmerizing. We really lucked out on our timing. We were able to catch some snow from a recent storm, but we left just before the area was hit by another. It was even clear enough to hike many of the trails! Now I can't wait to go back and explore the rest. ... Where is your favorite place to hike? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. It's really hard waking up early when #NoRegrets. It's really hard waking up early when you're on vacation. It's even more difficult when you know there's nothing but #icycold awaiting you. But #BryceCanyonNationalPark is a #spectacularplace, so every moment we could spend in sight of this beautiful amphitheater was worth every frozen toe. We were there for each sunrise, and we stayed long enough to capture sunset. Totally worth it. ... What will you get up early for? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. I never like hauling my big bazooka l #NoRegrets. I never like hauling my big bazooka lens; it takes up a lot of space, and it's terribly heavy. But I'm always thankful to have it on-hand when cuties like these make an appearance! ... These #bighornsheep surprised us on the #CanyonOverlook trail in #ZionNP after a failed attempt at sunrise. We were happy with how the morning ultimately turned out! ... What piece of equipment has saved you on the trail? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. We got up super early on our last day #NoRegrets. We got up super early on our last day in #SeattleWA, and I was thrilled to see the sky would make for the perfect #sunriseoverthecity. However, by the time we got set up, a fog had obscured the entire view below. We waited it out, and it eventually cleared. The best light was gone by then, but I'm still pleased by the resultant images. ... What are sunrises like in your area? Do you get to see them often? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. We got so lost trying to find one of #NoRegrets. We got so lost trying to find one of our campgrounds in #Norway. In fact, we ended up going through two, 8km tunnels.. in the wrong direction! But everything turned out in the end. Because of our delay, our arrival was timed with this pack of cuties coming down the grassy path. I hopped out of the car, and they were so curious about my big lens that they all stared at me - and it made for the perfect pose for my picture. ... Do you love #goats as much as I do? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. We were out to the #BryceAmphitheater #NoRegrets. We were out to the #BryceAmphitheater early each day and late enough to catch #sunset every evening. Let me tell you, the #Utah desert gets cold fast, especially in the winter. But every moment gazing on that #fantasticallandscape was more than worth a few numb fingers. I already have a list of shots and trails for our next visit! ... What physical discomforts have you suffered for the sake of a beautiful view? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. We climbed up #waterfalls and peeked #NoRegrets. We climbed up #waterfalls and peeked under mossy logs. The #PacificNorthwest is such a beautiful place, and I never get bored! Even if the hike is a little crazy and the company even more so! ... Who do you like hiking with? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
#NoRegrets. We drove everywhere in #Norway! It's #NoRegrets. We drove everywhere in #Norway! It's such a #beautifulcountry, and we couldn't help but stop every hundred yards or so to take more photos. This meant we didn't get to drive quite as far north as we originally wanted, but what we did see was worth every moment. Besides, we can't see it all in one trip; we need an excuse to go back! ... What place do you most want to visit again? . . #FavoritesFriday - one of the elite top photos from 2018
