Tiny perfection, finally a sunny weekend to get outside and enjoy all the wildflowers! #805hikers #californiawildflowers #purplewildflowers (at Ojai, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLZUpYAel2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Something a little firey to warm you up on this cold day. #venturabotanicalgardens #365kc #redorange (at Downtown Ventura) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0OXtFLutz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎶 I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day 🎶 just reminding you of all the bright beauty out there while it is dumping rain #coastalwildflowers #mydowntownventura #californiasuperbloom (at Downtown Ventura) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxuLWmpLSS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Little lovelies at @arroyo_verde_park got a bit of golden ratio going on with those spirals 😀 #purplewildflowers #californiasuperbloom #venturahikes #visitventura #venturaparksandrecreation https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqGZztvzOB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Check out the African section of the Ventura Botanical Gardens in the evening, and there’s a good chance you’ll catch one of these guys. #venturabotanicalgardens #birdsatsunset #mydowntownventura (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CofZTYqpV6E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Is it camping season yet?!? I would love to have a camper, but I’m not sure where I would store it. #emmawood #campcalifornia #camperlife (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaQ84IPVxD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Currently home sick, which means time to catch up on a huge backlog of edits. Got ready for a bunch of posts… or I may just sleep and watch a lot of TV. Here’s a sunset from @vbgventura a couple weeks ago. #mydowntownventura #venturabotanicalgardens #805sunsets (at Ventura Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVHc1nvDnZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes the start is just as beautiful as the grand finale. Happy Monday! #mondaymotivation #diversifyoutdoors #surfingphotography (at The 805!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDAq62pD0t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lake casitas this last weekend, they may be tiny blooms, but at least they are starting! #wildflowerphotography #ojai #lakecasitas (at Ojai, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNCRqrvGFA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying to remind myself that all this rain and gloom now now means better creeks in a couple months. #ojaicamping #hipcampphotographer #privatecampground (at Ojai, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnC8zyQS61v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A SoCal winter scape. Our campsite had a delay and we had to wake up and leave early the next morning, but this view was worth it. Crazy how such a variety of environments are so close together in this part of the state. #joshuatrees #palmdale #seecalifornia #winterscene (at Piñon Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cly8bZXvoGB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh hey, still alive over here. Just hiding out in my winter hiddy-hole, exploring with books more than outdoor adventures. #sustainabilecomplexity is a topic I’ve been obsessing over the last couple years, and this book was like finding home. Also reading The Starless Sea, radically different genre, but connecting themes. What’s everybody reading right now? #bookadventure #bighistory (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CljZlJ2pZXO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The fall colors of wine country on my drive home yesterday. #winecountry #fallphotography #socalfall (at Santa Barbara County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClRhAQQvKnS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you’re ever asked if you were razed in a barn, say yes, then show them this classy spot. #barncamping #convertedbarn #hipcampphotography #findyourselfoutside (at Templeton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHMME8PRI6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
