This is a neat place in Idaho called Mesa falls. There are actually two falls. there’s an upper and a lower, This one is the lower falls. They are so beautiful and such a great place to just go and hike around.

This has been one heck of a summer! So much can change in just a few months, that’s why you just always go with the flow and embrace change. Life is always changing, it’s hard to try and keep things the same. Letting go is a natural part of life. It’s how you can become your best self. You might not like some of the changes, but it’s all in your state of mind. You just need to dance in the rain. Embrace the chaos. Life is hard, but it is so beautiful💜💜

This flower is called Castilleja, or the Indian Paintbrush. This flower is native to the west Americas, from Alaska all the way down to the Andes and parts of Asia and even a northwestern part of Russia. This is just one of MANY beautiful things to find in glacier national park.

I made many friends over the summer, but this guy was most definitely the most beautiful one!! He just sat there and let me photograph him. It’s not very often you can get this close to such a beautiful elk. There is so much beauty in the world, it’s all over, in every situation and every view. Things might look bad but you just have to find the beauty because it’s everywhere.

I do quite a bit of Grand Teton, and Yellowstone, but they are some of my favorite national parks. This one is Teton, it was taken off of Jenny lake loop. It is one of my favorite roads in the park.

Glacier National Park is the most beautiful place I have ever been. With its magnificent peaks,its beautiful valleys carved by glaciers and its lushes pine trees, it is definitely one sight you will never forget.

Teton is one of my favorite national parks I have ever been too. It has such beautiful lakes and ponds. You can hike all over the park and just embrace the beauty. It’s makes you feel connected with the world. There is so much beauty in the world, so go out and explore it. Don’t put it off, just go for it. Start exploring and see what you can find, because almost everywhere you go boasts somthing breath taking and amazing. Enjoy your life while you can.

It’s sure been a good bit since the last time I posted!! Life sure has a way of changing your plans, but it’s best to just roll with it. It’s like going up a river, it’s hard, tiring and an all out waist of energy, it’s just best to go with the flow and make new plans accordingly. Somethings are hard with life and sometimes beautiful things can come from a very hard or scary thing. Just like this picture, Yellowstone has gone through a massive and devastating eruption about 160,000 years ago and out of the ash and fire came beautifully carved canyons and waterfalls and geysers. Yellowstone is a great representation of life, it’s full of color and beauty and ups and downs and sometimes can experience hard times, but all in all it’s such a beautiful and majestic thing. Don’t take life for granted, take a moment every day to look at the beauty of the things around you, the color of the world and they noises you hear.

This is one of Yellowstone’s many amazing hydrothermal features. It’s so hot that it creates bacteria which change color. I’m so happy I got to go to this breathtaking place.

Glacier national park is absolutely breathtaking. I’ve never seen such beauty in my life. The “going to the sun road” in glacier, is a great representation of life. It will take you up, down and turn you all around, but in the end it takes you to beauty that you can’t fathom.

Sometimes life is hard, one moment you could be at the top of the world, and the next your at rock bottom, but when you hit rock bottom there’s only one way to go, and that’s up.
