i won’t always wake up for sunrise but sometimes i’m really glad that i do just as i won’t always be awake when the sky overtakes with pillars of light but i’m glad when i am.

despite this lake being the shortest walk from the side of the road and about an hour from where i live, it’s been over two years since the last time i went. i’m sure that next time will be just as spectacular as all the times before.

sometimes, when i look at autumn leaves floating down in the breeze, i close my eyes and pretend they’re the millions of monarch butterflies that inhabit the fir treed forests in central mexico in winter. because if i close my eyes, i can pretend that i hear the sounds of thousands of butterflies flapping their tiny wings around me and i can pretend i’m hearing what it sounds like when a forest inhales then exhales.

i consider myself infinitely lucky to be born in a place so full of wonder and to hold such an unbreakable tie with one of my favorite places. if you ever get me talking about the desert or an arizona sunset, you just know my eyes light up as i explain why scientifically the arizona desert has such a magical sunset gradient each night.

this morning i was scrolling on my phone and came across a post shared by the tourism board of arizona that was crafted entirely using ai for the visuals. i think the most disappointing part of seeing that post wasn’t from the photographer in me, but from the part inside of me that wants everyone to know the magic of a saguaro standing tall in open desert, holding stories from long before any of us walked the earth.

this is what arizona looks like without ai. like the rest of our earth, perfect as is.

turned 31 yesterday. thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes.

30 was such a great year for me, honestly with each year that goes by life feels lighter and lighter and my younger self is so grateful for that.

on the eve of my 30th i was finishing a multi-day packrafting trip in oregon. we were supposed to pick things to take with us and to leave behind. i left behind sinking, drowning, and the feeling of treading water. i chose floating. thank you to the owhyee for giving me the first year i’ve felt above water in as long as i can possibly remember. i’ll carry that with me forever.
