The end is near


Leaving a place after vacation especially a good one is always a little difficult, but I believe the ride made up for it. Besides rationing my cell phone battery, the ride back was very rewarding.
After leaving the hotel we encountered a storm on its way to the Utah valley. After a natural car wash and a few hours of driving, we approached the desert metropolis that is Las Vegas and took advantage of the photoshoot opportunities as we continued down the strip.
                *Palm trees photobomb more than I ever could’ve thought xD
Not to mention the sheer amount of casinos in Nevada. Other than desert, the first thing we saw as we entered and left the state were casinos ahah not even one of those “Goodbye, come back soon,” or “Thanks for visiting signs.”

As for California, the drive also came with a fairly good amount of rain on top of a sandstorm in the Mojave. Contrary to when we began our trip, the SoCal (Southern California) mountains actually had snow this time around. As always, the sun also came out. I don’t know if it was from my bumblebee outfit of sweatpants and an Amsterdam shirt or my smile xD, but it came out.
                *Even if it was just for a little the Golden State was also the sunshine state

Back to back road trip sandstorms

Still pumping out pictures

The brunt is behind us.. so we thought

Snow, sandstorm, and rain in one day
Until next time,

What's a break without fresh air?

 It is natural for us humans to become complacent with our lives, the people, and the opportunities at our disposal. This behavior is innate and completely understandable. Think about it, if you saw a [beach] everyday, you may not view it with the excitement of someone who grew up days away from the ocean. This is not due to a lack of appreciation, but rather because [it] was at your becking call, [it] was easily... accessible. Take a chance and try something new, you never know what awaits I think many of us can agree that humans are often habitual creatures. More often then not, our lives get busy and we find comfort in our routines. The increasingly fast-paced, urbanized, and technologically advanced nature of society does not help combat this tendency. Luckily, there are currently 61 National Parks across the United States that can provide the change of environment and therapeutic experiences many of us subconsiously seek. https://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/national-parks...

Where Now?

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast  When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing

Pflanzen aus der Mojave und Colorado Wüsten

I never envisioned that I would stop and photograph so many flowers during a trip. I personally am more of a landscape person, however sometimes we also have to pay respect to the little things as well.  Somethings are just posing for pictures Beavertail Cactus Chia Barrel Cactus A Joshua Tree beginning to bloom What's the point of snapping photos just to snap if you still don't ever understand where you where and why the land is the way it is. The Desert as dry, hot and unforgiving as it can be holds many jewels and in my opinion is a very tranquil and relaxing environment free from the hustle and bustle of city life and monetary drive.
