Comet Neowise (C/2020 F3) was amazing and got bett Comet Neowise (C/2020 F3) was amazing and got better as it got darker! This was taken around 11:20 pm last night. What was really cool was @crtrgrl and I showing it to our neighbor and her 3 kids, after she woke them up, and then explaining that the comet is actually going in the same relative direction as its tail, away from the Sun.  #adventurethatislife #awesomeearth #lifeofadventure #mthrworld #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #nature_obsession_landscapes #earth_shotz #bestnatureshot #nature_perfection #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust #lobomountain @instagood #allaboutadventures #earthofficial #thegreatoutdoors #roamtheplanet #discoverearth #nationalparkgeek #moodnation  #visualambassadors #belyvly #OutsideCulture #pnw #pnwonderland #longexposure_shots #astrophotography #CometNeowise
Happy 50th Anniversary #EarthDay! . @CrtrGrl and I Happy 50th Anniversary #EarthDay! . @CrtrGrl and I are elated to be celebrating this Earth Day from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. This beautiful trail in the Olympic National Forest is just 25 minutes from our home. This is also the 9th anniversary of our first date - it's our Dateiversary! . For our part, we are learning to downsize our footprint. We moved from a 650 sq ft apartment in Southern California and are now living in a 400 sq ft studio here in Washington. Our next move will be into our 220 sq ft @SkoolieWoolie, that we're still building out. For my carbon footprint, I've transitioned from a 130 mile/day commute to starting up an at-home online eco-fashion business @forest2seaawearapparel with @CrtrGrl based on my nature photography. . . We must protect and defend the wild that all life on Earth depends upon. This includes the ocean, our parks, our forests and even the open spaces between homes. Please consider changes you can make to minimize your impact and preserve the wild! . #travelstoke #lifeofadventure #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #nature_obsession_landscapes #earth_shotz #bestnatureshot #nature_perfection #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust #lobomountain @instagood #allaboutadventures #earthofficial #thegreatoutdoors #roamtheplanet #discoverearth #nationalparkgeek #moodnation #visualambassadors #belyvly #OutsideCulture #pnw #pnwonderland #ThatPNWLife #WanderWashington #washingtonexplored #tree_brilliance

@crtrgrl and I have been super busy transitioning @crtrgrl and I have been super busy transitioning to our new life - building out our 38 foot skoolie (@skooliewoolie), documenting our overlanding adventures (@forest2seaoverlandadventures) and getting ready for a whole new online business that incorporates my nature photography. Soon, I'll also be re-branding Under Pressure Photography to fit with the rest of our projects. In the 4 months we've been up here in NorCal, we've only taken 4 days completely off. This weekend, we really needed a break, so we headed up to Mt. Shasta, CA. The weather had beautiful blue skies and a bit of a wind, which was lots of fun and a bit nippy! On our way back, we did a drive by of Castle Crags State Park, just to see what we could see. #travelstoke #wildernessculture #neverstopexploring #adventurethatislife #awesomeearth #lifeofadventure #mthrworld #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #nature_obsession_landscapes #earth_shotz #bestnatureshot #nature_perfection #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust #lobomountain @instagood #allaboutadventures #earthofficial #thegreatoutdoors #roamtheplanet #discoverearth #nationalparkgeek #moodnation  #visualambassadors #belyvly #OutsideCulture #hikingtheglobe #hikingculture

The Painted Dunes in Lassen Volcanic National Park The Painted Dunes in Lassen Volcanic National Park, CA. It’s time once again to share my Top 10 favorite photos of 2019 (link in bio). This year has been a year of change. Big change! This year has been focused on transitioning @crtrgrl 's and my life from the traditional 9-5 grind to a life with less things, less impact on nature, and more time.

In between Part 3 and Part 4 of our FJ Cruiser overlanding build-out, @CrtrGrl and I did a trial run of our new roof rack and roof top tent. We wanted to try out sleeping in the tent and the new roof rack. Our plan was to do a couple of nights of dispersed camping out in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and try things out. While it was beautiful there, the wind was stronger than we were and we had to retreat! #FJCruiser #overlanding #overlandbound #expeditionvehicle #overlandjournal @frontrunneroutfitters #overlandbound #rooftoptent @tepuitents @arb4x4usa #longexposure_shots #travelstoke #wildernessculture #neverstopexploring #adventurethatislife #awesomeearth #lifeofadventure #mthrworld #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust #lobomountain @instagood #allaboutadventures #earthofficial #thegreatoutdoors #roamtheplanet #discoverearth #moodnation #visualambassadors #OutsideCulture

A seagull rests on a warning sign at San Onofre St A seagull rests on a warning sign at San Onofre State Beach, CA. This was @CrtrGrl's and my first and only time at San Onofre State Beach and I loved the sound that the ocean made as it rolled in over the beach rocks. After almost a month in NorCal, I'm really missing the beach! We fall asleep every night to the sound of ocean waves, but now it's from a speaker. Instead, we have the birds, squirrels, foxes, rabbits and deer to keep us entertained. :) . . #ocean #sunset #travelstoke #wildernessculture #neverstopexploring #adventurethatislife #awesomeearth #lifeofadventure #mthrworld #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #nature_obsession_landscapes #earth_shotz #bestnatureshot #nature_perfection #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust #lobomountain @instagood #allaboutadventures #earthofficial #thegreatoutdoors #roamtheplanet #discoverearth #nationalparkgeek #moodnation #visualambassadors #belyvly #OutsideCulture
I haven't done underwater photography in a while, I haven't done underwater photography in a while, but at least I got to visit some tide pools up in Port Townsend, WA recently! These yellow and pink anemones were exposed at low tide at Fort Worden State Park, sitting in a small pool of salt water. As the tide goes out, the entire Puget Sound water basin partially empties out, creating strong currents, but no waves. #uwphoto #discoverocean #underwater #PADI #scubadivingmag #sportdivermag #thebarefootwalker #underwateremotions #discoverocean #pnw #pnwonderland #ThatPNWLife #WanderWashington #washingtonexplored #travelstoke #wildernessculture #neverstopexploring #adventurethatislife #awesomeearth #lifeofadventure #mthrworld #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #earth_shotz #bestnatureshot #nature_perfection #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust @instagood
Peace. Thinking back to our backpacking trip in @o Peace. Thinking back to our backpacking trip in @olympic_nps earlier this year, that's what comes to mind. Beauty, nature, wonder. All of the amazing scenery and wildlife.

The man @undrpressrphoto & I will be ending our Carlsbad life in just a couple of days & beginning our new lives, starting in Shasta County. There, w/ the help of our family, we will be building out our tiny home bus, @skooliewoolie & begin our mobile pet photography business @forest2seapetphotography. We're working on another idea as I write this post, but it's still in its beginning stages. I'll keep you posted. . . Our goal is to settle in the #PacificNorthwest & enjoy a life, off grid, surrounded by wildlife, volunteering whenever, wherever we can to help our planet. All the while, earning passive income from some ideas we have hidden up our sleeves. We've been overwhelmed w/ mixed emotions, but of course we're super excited! . . As usual, our nature, overland, & skoolie adventures will be shared on Scott's website (link in his bio) & social media. Stay tuned for our #PNW adventures & our 1st trial camping run w/ Greyjoy (FJ overland adventure mobile). We're working on getting these ready for you to read/view. Of course, all Crtrs we continue to meet & animal/nature advocacy will continue to be shared on my website (link in bio) & social media. . . Our cruelty free lifestyle journey will continue to be shared on @biggreenheartmovment. We've made some updates to share a more personal experience rather than just focusing on the products alone (link in BGH bio). . . In the meantime, it's time to pack, enjoy our last night out in N. County S.D. & move on to our next chapter in our lives. Shasta County here we come...
@CrtrGrl and I supported the #ClimateStrike yester @CrtrGrl and I supported the #ClimateStrike yesterday in Oceanside. We were really encouraged by the turnout and enthusiasm of our Carlsbad, Vista and Oceanside neighbors! It was also great to see the youth getting involved, as they have the most at stake. And of course, there were some brilliant protest signs! Please use your voice to support politicians and policies that put our children's future first and protect nature. Stand up for science. Learn small things that you can do to make a difference.

I'm striking for the #ClimateCrisis today with @Cr I'm striking for the #ClimateCrisis today with @CrtrGrl in order to preserve a stable climate for my son. We need to unite behind the science and treat it as the existential crisis it is. We just got back from 4 days of backpacking in @olympic_nps - an amazingly beautiful place that depends on stable rainfall in order to maintain it's lush, green, carpet of life. Only on underwater reefs in Indonesia have I seen the density of life that exists on land here. Moss covers everything and fungi explodes out of the earth. Changes to rainfall patterns will devastate this natural wonder, and Climate Change will wreak more and more havoc on the stable climate that human civilization has developed with. #ClimateStrike #travelstoke #wildernessculture #neverstopexploring #adventurethatislife #awesomeearth #lifeofadventure #mthrworld #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #bestnatureshot #nature_perfection #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust #lobomountain @instagood #allaboutadventures #earthofficial #thegreatoutdoors #roamtheplanet #discoverearth #nationalparkgeek #visualambassadors #OutsideCulture #pnwonderland #ThatPNWLife #WanderWashington #washingtonexplored
To commune with nature, away from the city, traffi To commune with nature, away from the city, traffic and the noise of TV is a wonderful gift. To roam the forest and just be there, nowhere to go, no deadlines. Shrouded in fog, the forest had a mystical, somber mood, but the rain made everything magical. The dogwoods were in bloom for spring and the ferns were half dead for summer and half new spring growth due to all of the recent rains. Over Memorial Day weekend, @CrtrGrl and I went for a hike in Palomar Mountain State Park. The conditions were amazing! At over 5000 ft in elevation, it was 39F and raining, which gave us the impression of being in the Redwoods or Olympic National Park. We were soaked, but we loved it. I learned two things on the hike - first that I don't have gloves that are good in the rain and second that it's warmer to have no gloves than wet gloves! ​#hiking #travelstoke #wildernessculture #neverstopexploring #adventurethatislife #awesomeearth #lifeofadventure #conservation #mthrworld #bewild #LetsMakeAdventures #theadventourist #PledgetoLNT #nature_obsession_landscapes #earth_shotz #bestnatureshot #nature_perfection #earthofficial #natureadventurez @the.adventourist #visualwanderlust #lobomountain @instagood ​#hikingtheglobe #hikingculture ​#allaboutadventures #earthofficial #thegreatoutdoors #roamtheplanet #discoverearth #OptOutside
