a wayward muse in search of lost nothings...

Funny enough, but IG thinks this is 9.6 miles away. However, we’ve driven 7 hours around to the opposite side of the mountains. (at Hooker Valley Track, Mount Cook National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqFe15pLlKG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got to drive along this 45km turquoise blue water lake twice! It was unreal :) (at Lake Pukaki, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqFcx0Zr1Fq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Whatcha talking about Willis? (at Glenorchy, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqFcExXO14p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We thought that a heavy rain day was bad for the trip. But a couple thousand temporary waterfalls showed up (at Milford Sound, Fiordland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_23X6Lmkc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got to pass by at dawn. With the incoming storm, it started very purple. (at Emerald Bay, South Lake Tahoe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQ3kZerBhz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I haven’t had a bluebird day in weeks! (at Heavenly Ski Resort Lake Tahoe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnx20JcJ29s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas… May your days be merry and bright :) (at Secret Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmm-p5RPAvw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The locals said that it has been the cloudiest and rainiest summer in 20 years. The Denali road is also closed at mile 42 of 98 due to a landslide. So I felt very lucky to get a view of “The High One”. (at Denali National Park and Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3wEokL71H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This totally wasn’t staged. Pinkie swear! (at Denali National Park and Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3u0JSr0z_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This guy has gotten his 200k berries per day https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3uJgILvvb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So we parked at a trailhead and someone’s yelling to get everyone back into their cars. This guy was about 20 yards away and 15 downhill. He walked in the opposite direction of the hike we were doing, but there was a lot of yelling around each blind corner https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3t5Bir9V3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As I’m usually around evergreens, I lucked out with the foliage colors. The reds were mostly bog berries (at Denali National Park, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3tbzgLHAa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
