I needed a break from work for a minute, so I went through a couple of SD cards. Managed to find this gem from 2022.

Love it when these guys pose for me! Special shout out to @schrambler for unintentionally reminding me to go outside and become one with nature.

I’ve genuinely been so busy since getting back from the desert two and a half weeks ago (at least I think that’s how long ago that trip was). I have so many photos to share, but barely any time to breathe, let alone post them. Here, have some photos I took while I was at Bryce!

It’s been way too long since I’ve had time to do some birding. Sad face. On another note, I got to see The All-American Rejects this past Monday. Happy face.

SOMEBODY had the gall to tell me that I never saw a Snowy Owl at Jones Beach. I unfortunately never got a photo of said owl, but the exchange made me go through one of my SD cards and see what other wintertime birdies I’ve since snapped.

They said "we're engaged" and I said "great, now climb this dirty snow pile and trust me."
-
Alright, I'll give credit where credit is due. It was @obiwandohony's idea to take photos in front of the snow pile. I was just the one who told @_wizard_of_boz_ to put his foot on it. Anyway, getting to be the photographer for this engagement shoot was an absolute blast! Thank you for allowing me to aggressively document your love story on that random warm day a couple of weeks ago.

Oh look, another photo from my Camino trip last fall. This guy looks like he’s seen some things. Mostly tired pilgrims like me.

Went on my annual “oh no winter is over and I didn’t take any photos of weird ducks” trip to Barnegat Light. Duckies sure do make me happy.

Two 5Ks in one weekend? Absolutely! Two steps closer to the 2027 NYC Marathon! And today, I repped @wapotatoes. Felt kind of fitting for a race that has the word “shamrocks” in the name. Thank you @maxxwilderx for supporting me even when snow was actively falling on us. And also thank you for all the hash browns that fueled me to do this thing.

Prospect Park is a very pretty place. Kudos to all the runners who raced the NYRR Al Gordon 5K today. And shout out to all the birders that flooded the park as I was making my way out of there.

Throwing it back to these wildflowers I saw along the Camino de Santiago—a reminder that even along dusty paths, beauty grows.
