Fall is a great time of year. I love all of the vibrant colors, pumpkin everything, Halloween, flannel, and the return of hot cocoa season. . . . . #fallleaf #outdoors #photooftheday #snowbasin #ogdenvalley #fallingleaves #leaveschanging #autumnleaf #autumn🍁 #fallcolors #utahphotographer #utahgram #utahisrad #wasatchmountains #oldsnowbasinroad #lifeelevated #canon80D #teamcanon #visitutah #abandonedroad #wasatchback #wowutah #visitogden #optoutside #autumnleaves #ilovefall #utahfall #falltrees #utahfallcolors (at Snowbasin Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3exhm4Hy1D/?igshid=asogodyhfu7j

Unbe-leaf-able colors up on Old Snowbasin Road. Okay, bear with me here. I’ve wanted to write about this for a while, but my frustrations with this platform made me stop posting altogether. When I was first getting into photography and bought my own camera, I used Instagram as my primary place to share what I captured. Over the last year however, I stopped posting as much. This is because while I used to get 100+ likes on many of my photos and comments that I could interact with, I no longer see much of anything. 30 likes here, 50 likes there. Despite my follower count, no one can bother to check out what I post. No one follows me either. I’m actually dropping in followers every week. Is it because my photos aren’t good? Am I not posting the right content? Or is Instagram just dead because of algorithm changes? So, I stopped posting everything that I’m doing. I’m not sure what I can do to change this, but Instagram isn’t he platform that it once was. Rant done. . . . . #orangeleaves #outdoors #photooftheday #snowbasin #ogdenvalley #fallingleaves #leaveschanging #autumnleaf #autumn🍁 #fallcolors #utahphotographer #utahgram #utahisrad #wasatchmountains #oldsnowbasinroad #lifeelevated #canon80D #teamcanon #visitutah #abandonedroad #wasatchback #wowutah #aspens #optoutside #autumnleaves #orangetrees #autumnleaf #utahfall #falltrees (at Snowbasin Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3XCUxRHA6l/?igshid=7dpd1abe3vf4

It was nice returning to Tacoma last weekend. I ended up going to some of my favorite antique stores and small businesses and then walked around at Point Defiance Park. . . . . #cityphotography #outdoors #photooftheday #citylife #explore #tacoma #tacoma_wa #tacomawashington #tacomawa #cityskyline #pnwdiscovered #pnwonderland #cityofdestiny #253 #agameoftones #thatpnwlife #canon80D #teamcanon #livewashington #washingtonexplored #pacificnorthwest #railyard #railroads #cityviews #picoftheday #cityscape #urbanlandscape #commencementbay #downtowntacoma (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1yn1PEnkpJ/?igshid=b30zskgyeorl

This past weekend I returned home to Washington. I didn’t get to do half of what I wanted to during the short trip, but I’m eagerly awaiting the next time. Seeing Mount Rainier rising up over White Pass was a welcoming sight! . . . #thatpnwlife #pnwlife #washingtonstate #whitepass #littletahoma #mountrainier #mountrainiernationalpark #mtrainier #mountainlife #wildflowers #roadtrip #highway12 #pnw #pacificnorthwest #washingtonexplored #pnwdiscovered #pnwonderland #rainierwatch #packwood #k5summer #sonorthwest #bestcoast #visitrainier #canon80d #mtrainiernationalpark #teamcanon (at Packwood, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wARIKneTj/?igshid=wiuvh912acyw

I went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Eden, Utah bright and early Saturday. It was a ton of fun and the weather was perfect. . . . #sunrise #outdoors #photooftheday #hotairballoon #hotairballoonfestival #edenutah #ogden #utahwx #ogdenvalley #ogdenhotairballoonfestival #utahphotographer #ogdenphotographer #utahisrad #ogdenvalleyballoonfestival #ogdenutah #lifeelevated #canon80D #teamcanon #visitutah #pmgridchallenge #choosemountains #wowutah #positivevibes #beautahful #utahsummer #wasatchback #thisisogden #slcphotographer #airballoon (at Eden, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Y0ufHHGjH/?igshid=10zgxa7g8gpmw

I went kayaking for the first time this weekend! I don’t know why I had never done it before in Washington, but I had so much fun. Lost Creek Reservoir is a cool place!

I went to my first Ogden Farmers Market yesterday. We ended up trying the @twobitcafe and I bought a few more records from @lavendervinyl to add to my growing collection (700+ so far). . . . #downtownogden #outdoors #photooftheday #farmersmarket #ogdenfarmersmarket #ogdenutah #ogden #ogdensaturdaymarket #historic25thstreet #25thstreet #utahphotographer #ogdenphotographer #utahisrad #summerishere #lifeelevated #canon80D #teamcanon #visitutah #pmgridchallenge #saturdaymarket #wowutah #positivevibes #beautahful #twobitstreet #wasatchfront #thisisogden #visitogden #slcphotographer #summer2019 (at Ogden, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVkGn6H6YY/?igshid=17qw4ezlogyjm

Today felt like spring. The sun was out and the temperatures reached 50 degrees. I’m excited for warmer weather.

Lately I haven’t been taking any photos, so I decided to take a few yesterday. Good old Ben Lomond looked great with our fresh February snow and clear blue skies. . . . #sunsets #outdoors #photooftheday #benlomond #mountbenlomond #pleasantview #ogden #snowymountains #benlomondpeak #alpenglow #utahphotographer #ogdenphotographer #utahisrad #winterishere #ogdenutah #lifeelevated #canon80D #teamcanon #visitutah #pmgridchallenge #choosemountains #wowutah #positivevibes #beautahful #utahsnow #snowypeaks #wasatchfront #thisisogden #mountainsnow #slcphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPYPbCHHCZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ffjqd1yqwis6
