16 days on the John Muir Trail
Video

S6JSeErhl_A

It has nearly been two years (yes, two years…I know, I know) since I finished the JMT and I just now got around to making a video with all of my footage from the trail. I started an iteration of the video after I finished the hike, but the file became corrupt and I didn’t have the patience to go back in and re-do the entire thing at the time. And I’m glad I didn’t, because I’m way happier with this second version!

Creating this video transported me back to the trail, and again made me so grateful for the experience. For those that may not have read my excessively long story, I started the trail solo, but I met so many great people out there. On the 4th day I met my dear friend Frizzle, and we ended up sticking together for 12 days and finishing together!

It was tough to cram 16 days and 227 miles of backpacking into 10 minutes of video, but somehow I did it.

If you have any questions about hiking John Muir Trail, or questions about any of the spots you see in the video, leave me a comment or drop me a note!

Good news: rainbow season is back. One of my favor Good news: rainbow season is back. One of my favorite things about my home is that during monsoon season I get to witness spectacular rainbows. Todays rainbow was one of the brightest I’ve seen! 🌈 #COLORado #rainbow

Just wandering and taking photos and being present. 🩷 #coloRADo
It’s still winter up here, it seems. Spring is f It’s still winter up here, it seems. Spring is fighting its way through though. Under the snow that melts off by late afternoon, green grass and bulbs are beginning to grow. I had my first hummingbird visitor to my feeder the other day. Hang in there friends, this frosty wet winter will pay off in wildflowers soon enough.

A wildlife photography technique I love playing ar A wildlife photography technique I love playing around with is when the sun is bright and high in the sky (which is light that is not optimal for any type of photography) is to waaay underexpose the image. The result can be dramatic. The brights will be expose nicely, and the background and shadows will disappear into darkness. I love how this image came out in lighting that would otherwise not even be worth pulling out my camera in. 🦊#DUKEFOX #redfox
