Masts crowd the horizon at the marina near the Channel Islands National Park visitor center. Though I didn't go out to the islands, I had a great morning exploring the Harbor Cove area in Ventura, CA.

These iconic Joshua trees stand tall beneath an endless desert sky. This was the 2nd national park of my epic road trip from Houston to Vancouver, B.C., visiting 18 national parks in 37 days.

Love stumbling upon a serene trail taken over by fall! 🍁🍂 The yellow leaves covering the ground, the gentle light peeking through the trees, and that tranquil moment when time seems to stand still. Hit follow if autumn also hits different for you! #FallColors #NaturePhotography #FallVibes

Leaf-litter tank sighting confirmed 🍂🛡️
This armadillo wandered the woods like a stealth NPC, crunching leaves and ignoring me completely. Proof that even short hikes = excellent wildlife encounters. Follow for more trail magic.

What is this robin doing? Is this a mating display? It was just sitting there on the ground, wings spread over the ground for several minutes, before picking through leaves for bugs. #BirdPhotography #Birding #BirdLovers #BirdWatchers #BirdsOfInstagram #BirdNerd #BackyardBirding #WildlifePhotography

This armadillo cruised through the morning like it had places to be and absolutely no time for me. Confident waddle, serious focus, zero concern. One of those quiet wildlife moments that makes an ordinary walk better.

This squirrel ambushed the birds on the feeders, grabbed a mouthful, and acted like it earned the right to be here. Honestly? Respect. 🐿️💼
