Another successful panchetta birthday. Some time in nature. Chasing an active volcano. Homemade caprese sandos. All with my favorite human. An all around nice time. Here’s hoping we’re in a better place as a planet this time next year. (at Wildwood Recreation Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO83Dcdjf5LM93NDfC9YfgNIWaVVxF-wugOpW40/?igshid=1r3sfc8zsv4iq

Happy Earth Day, y’all. Even though the onus of battling the climate crisis needs to fall on corporations, we can do our part as individuals in a bunch of ways such as consuming less meat, buying less in general & buying local whenever possible. Let me know some ways you’re trying to live a more sustainable existence on this planet.

The squirrels at this park should have their own Milo & Otis style sitcom. (at Wortman Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrZdyXFhxm/?igshid=4512vgnhyxns

9 years of adventures with this guy. My best friend & greatest love. There’s no one I’d rather move across the country & start over 3 times with. No one I’d rather work from home all day, every day during a pandemic with. No one I’d rather go through this life with. I’m eternally grateful for his compassion, his creativity, & his incredible cooking. 9 years on December 9th. Happy anniversary my love. (A bonus pic at the end, one of my favorites from our first month together) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlnZDoDG4W/?igshid=1suyammtwjin4

Round two from the Austin to Portland times. Some windy roads in there that weren’t the greatest but I’m still glad we went through Yosemite. —- June Lake CA - Sacramento CA - Ashland OR - Portland OR https://www.instagram.com/p/CHmGJpMjuYS/?igshid=1qq0k2s3txkfc

A few moments from the first half of our Austin to Portland road trip. Honestly, mostly shots of Dany. Slide to image 4 to see how we worked around the hotel’s 2 pet per room policy. Dany plays a great bag when the role calls for it. *chefs kiss* —- Austin TX - Clovis NM - Flagstaff AZ - Las Vegas NV - June Lake CA https://www.instagram.com/p/CHmDvb3jQIU/?igshid=1ihihglm9im78

Dany went for a drive today & straight up cannot keep her eyes on the road. (at JuiceLand Westgate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpEQkpDs2R/?igshid=73jsl5eb8hsl

Very late spring. (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhEdqPjKsT/?igshid=1a0k0ob092slh

We have literally thousands of photos from that time Joel & I lived in a van & moved across the country. So many, it’s been daunting to get through them. For a while we tried to share them here (@adventure.index) & on Tumblr, but as I tend to do with any large creative project, I fell off. —- I was going through some for a painting project I’m working on, and came across some witchy buildings from a few small towns in Iowa. Sloan, Smithland, Salix. I’m not positive where this one was taken, but it was one of those 3. #tbt (at Sloan, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwD0kIDphY/?igshid=10qthfp1u8rhy
