Why Winter is a Great Time to Visit a National Park

TWOI: 4/23/18
Good morning, and happy Monday, yet again! The weather is warming, and I’m getting out to shoot more, which is great! Look forward to more adventures coming to my site; be sure to follow my blog to keep up to date with all the latest.
You should notice this set all have a consistent look. I’m trying this out for a bit to see how it pans out. What do you think?
I also realized there sure are a lot of beaches this week. I assure you, that was not intentional! Interesting how these things turn out…
This first image was from my trip to Alaska. We backpacked 26 miles along this shore, across sand, pebbles, rocks, and boulders. We saw bald eagles, foxes, moose tracks, and plenty of bears. You can read all about that amazing trip here.

Happy Monday, and welcome to a shiny new week! First of all, I’d like to say that today is a special day. It’s our anniversary! Aaron and I have been together a crazy 17 years now. And what’s also cool: this original date back in 2001 also fell on a Monday. We’ve been on a lot of adventures since then (as this website can attest), and you can look forward to many more!
Now, getting to the photos from this week…
You might have noticed last week that I started keeping to a certain color theme. I kept that going this week, but I additionally added a moody tone to my edits for a more uniform look. I’ll try this for a while longer to see how it pans out. What do you think?
This first picture was from a trip out to the Oregon coast. We ended up having a rather remarkable day prior to this planned evening shoot, and we made a fascinating discovery that was far better than this sunset hoped to be. That was a good day.

Oh boy, this week was tough! I really like these images this week, and I hope you do too. But liking them so much did make it difficult to choose my favorites.
This first one looks back on the single road that stretches into Denali National Park. We spent an entire day on a bus just like that one, hopping out periodically to snap a few shots like this one. We had clouds while we were there, but they added some interesting texture to the sky. You can read all about that journey here.
