Our mountains finally got some snow! I cannot explain the relief i felt photographing them over the weekend. I can only hope early spring will be kind enough to give us at least a few more days like this. #landscapephotography

Richard Nixon—yes, Nixon—signed some of the strongest conservation laws in U.S. history. Not out of love for the wild, but because the public demanded it. Today’s leaders gut those same protections while pretending to care. #presidentsday

Our monuments are not for sale!

Secretary Doug Burgum launched a secret review of 160 national monuments and protected public lands withdrawn from fossil fuel and mining development– with NO public input.

🚨SIGN THE PETITION! 🚨

Congressman Amodei’s attempt to gut the Antiquities Act is a direct attack on Nevada’s public lands and the will of its people.
Amodei’s bill to gut Antiquities Act proves he’s not interested in representing our best interests • Nevada Current
The Antiquities Act is a critical, bipartisan tool that empowers the public—our communities—to help preserve irreplaceable natural and cultural resources for future generations.

Came across this beautiful hawk enjoying breakfast this morning. This is the first time I've had the opportunity to capture one eating with my camera and I was so excited.

Can't explain the amount of relief to see literally any kind of moisture/precipitation in the forecast.

Jaimie has been such a consistent and encouraging support to me and so many others in the outdoor community. It feels extra special that he was the first one to get this print of an animal I have come to love so much🧡

If you havent seen his work, it is certainly worth checking out/giving a follow!
Lauren also has a lovely print store! Just received the coyote on Friday! laurenoutwest.darkroom.com

This was the friendliest little Say's Phoebe. I don't know what was going on with the birds this week, but they were all very interested in me and my camera and were very comfortable hanging out super close!
