Still thinking about these awesome elephants that I got to spend the day with in #Thailand. #🐘I'm feeling a bit stressed these days. I think I need to go to the beach. Oh and here is picture from when I was out in the UK a few weeks ago. #MyRewardDay #contestNo trip to the San Diego Safari Park is complete until you check out the #lions. #MyRewardDay #contestElephants throw dirt on themselves as a natural sun block and bug repellent. One of the many things you learn while hanging out with some amazing elephants at the Elephant Nature Park in #Thailand. #elephantnaturepark #MyRewardDay #contest #🐘Had such an awesome time exploring the British countryside with a good friend. #latergramYesterday, I resigned from my job of almost 6 years. Today I am starting a company. Let's see where this #adventure leads. #yosemite #startupEnjoyed a little stroll with a good friend.It's been too long since I posted anything. Partly because I haven't been too happy with my shots recently. So here is one I took from Yosemite a few months ago. #yosemiteMet some awesome people this weekend and saw some beautiful nature. Doesn't get much better. #yo15 #mindthemountains #yosemiteWe waited hours and hours for Mt Fuji to show itself and the wait was worth the sunburn. #shyfuji #🗻 #japan #fuji #shibazakura #🌸🗻Explored the Republic of Naminara, a micro-nation and island within Korea. Such an interesting place. #kdramas #korea #namislandI have been fascinated with the #Thailand coast line since high school. So grateful to actually visit. #sunset#😉 Just monkeying around #Thailand #🐒#Thailand is amazing #thamlodExplored some caves today and really wish I brought my real camera. Next purchase is going to be a waterproof case. #Thailand #iphoneApparently #elephants really love mud. #Thailand #elephantnaturepark #iphone #🐘Thailand is ridiculously beautiful. I have never seen trees with this shade of green. Pretty awesome. Also does anyone have any recommendations on where I should go? #Thailand #rei1440projectJust confirmed I'm going back to Yosemite for Memorial Day Weekend. So to celebrate here is a night shot of Yosemite Falls from the valley floor. #yosemite #yosemitewinterYosemite Falls doing its thing. #yosemite #rei1440project #visitCAMore like mirror pond. But still beautiful #yosemite #rei1440project #visitCAYosemite in the winter is awesome! It's not crowded and still as beautiful as ever. #rei1440project #yosemite #visitCAThe snow was epic today. So grateful that I was around to enjoy it. And I have no idea who that guy is in the pic. #iphone #snow #skiing #tahoe #rei1440projectUp in Tahoe for the weekend and luckily we are getting some needed snow!That pier again. #latergram #hawaii ❤Sometimes our life path has unexpected detours, twists and turns. I just consider it the scenic route. Happy Valentine's Day. ❤️#fog #visitCAI don't think I could ever get tired of the California coast line. #latergram #visitCADuring the Super Bowl, I drove up the 101 to the bay to meet a friend. But the sunset distracted me and I had to chase this sunset. I ended up being an hour late, but it was totally worth it. #sunsetRain is gone. I think it's time for another hike! #discoverla #LAstoryResearchers found that the nature walks were associated with significantly less depression in addition to mitigating the negative effects of stressful life events and perceived stress. TLDR: Go on a hike you will be happier and less stressed #becausescience #mondaywisdom #discoverla #LAstoryI have been unsuccessfully trying to take star shots for the past few months but now after some advice from awesome people I finally got a good one. #nightsky #starrynight #fav #visitCASome drives are worth it.The eastern Sierras are awesome. #mindthemountainsIt's hump day! Weeks feel so much shorter when you have a fun weekend planned. I was recovering from a surgery on my last trip out to the snow so I couldn't ski. But I'm all recovered now, so no more sitting on the sidelines!!Taking a little detour to explore #iPhone#snow #adventures #iphoneWe have had the best sunsets this week. Luckily I was able to share this one with some good friends. #discoverla #LAstoryI love this pier and I love that my friend wakes up to this every morning. #latergram #hawaii #Oahu #pier #5dmkiiStill going through #kauai pictures.

Freedom!!!! Thanks for the update @instagram #waterfall #japanI didn't spend enough time at Queens Bath. Looking forward to visiting this place again. #kauai #hawaii@angel_shana took me to Alaska for my 30th birthday and I couldn't ask for a better gift. #alaska#Juneau only has 48 miles of roads and we drove to the end of road to find this awesome cove. #alaska #sunsetSpent my sick day going through photos from my recent trip to #Alaska. #glacierHad an awesome night in #Dallas with @uheroes This small team has truly changed the worlds of children trapped in #slavery throughout the world in just 4 years. Now they are opening a restoration home in the USA. It's inspiring to see their dedication, sacrifice and #love. #UnlikelyHeroes #sunsetFun fact: Hawaii doesn't do daylight savings time (so they never change their clocks) and the sun doesn't set until 6 in the winter.What's your favorite #shaveice place? It's hard to decide whether I like Uncle Clays House of Pure Aloha @uncleclays better than Waiola Shaved Ice @waiolashaveice. Hmmm.. I think I'll just choose them both.A highlight of a recent trip to #Florida was photographing this #sunset with my cousin.Continuing the #sunset theme. This time from the #westcoast I can always rely on Santa Monica beach for a beautiful sunset after a long day of work. #lastoryThe Mokes! #Hawaii #hikingThis morning I was awakened by a pretty intense storm (for LA). We had it all: high winds, lightening and of course a bunch of rain. Then right as I was about to go back to sleep, I remembered that I left my clothes out to dry outside overnight. So I frantically threw on my rain jacket and rushed out to bring in my clothes. Luckily I was able to recover most of them although I think I lost a shirt. I doubt it ended up here but who knows. #laundrydayThe morning ritual. #espresso #coffee #rancilio #coffeeeu #coffeeshotsA nice escape from the craziness in #Seoul.I'm in love with the #tarsier #bohol #Philippines #discoverglobeReally enjoyed my time scuba diving in the Philippines. Now I want to get an enclosure for my camera so I can photograph all the amazing underwater life. #bohol #Philippines #alonabeachIt's been a while. Apparently starting a company kind of ruins your free time. Hope everyone is doing well! #mylastory #santamonica #beachSummer is here!!!I had no idea #Utah would be so beautiful. I highly recommend visiting #Zion National Park and #hiking the #Narrows. @zionnpsWhen I imagined #Utah I saw big beautiful deserts. But of course there is so much than just deserts. Like these magical fern lined #trails in @zionnpsWe got back to our campsite right before that storm hit. Somehow @emperor_izz figured out how to cook in the tent during the storm. #madskillsHide and seek.I need to go back to #Yosemite soon... #waterfallSpent a couple days in the boundary waters in #Minnesota definitely worth a visit. #lake #sunset #camping #rei1440project #optoutside #CaptureMN #onlyinmnToday is my 31st birthday. For me, the ultimate gift is the amazing people I share this crazy adventure called life with. #birthdaythoughts #camping #rei1440project #optoutside #CaptureMN #onlyinmnI can't get enough of that sky.A whole town of naturally heated public bathhouses in #japan #onsen #shibuonsenI could spend all day watching these guys do their thing.Had a blast hiking and cross country skiing in @yosemitenps with some awesome dudes. #yosemite #iphoneHitching a ride. Finally had some downtime this weekend to look at some of the photos I took in #Japan so I'll probably be spamming with lots of these #snowmonkeys :) #🐒So freaking cute. #japan #latergram #🐒The roads in #Taroko are ridiculous.Still going through photos from a day trip to #Taroko in #taiwanWent on an adventure to find wildflowers a couple months ago. Didn't find many but I found this awesome #abandoned building. If you look closely you can see part of the topaz solar plant in the background. In 2014, it was the world's largest but that title didn't last long.Am I too late to the #eclipse party? #grandtetons #nationalparkThe benefit to getting in line at 6am for campsite spots is seeing views like this. #yellowstoneAfter trying to photograph the eclipse with a 50mm lens I realized maybe it's time to buy a new lens. Any recs for a Canon 5d mkii? #eclipse2017 #eclipseOther worldly. #yellowstoneA fun way to pass the time while waiting for old faithful is to just to loudly start counting down: 10, 9, 8, 7... #yellowstoneTook a while but we finally found a lava flow! So much fun. #volcano #hawaii #🌋Finally made the hike up to the Stairway to Heaven. The legal way. #stairwaytoheavenhike #hawaii
