After realizing that I could work from almost anywhere, I decided to move into my truck with my dog and drive to Alaska. I look for dispersed (FREE) campsites in National Forests, go on long solo hikes, and explore the world around me. It’s not the most convenient way to live, but it’s certainly beautiful.
I’ve only made it to Wyoming. The country is so incredible, people are so friendly, and some places are just hard to leave. Beauty is everywhere if you know how to look. Sometimes you don’t have to look hard. I’m learning that the more you see, the more you realize, there is more to see.

If you look close you can see a Pika.
While on my journey through the vast and stunning landscapes of the United States with my loyal canine companion, I’ve come to appreciate the subtle art of choosing a name that resonates with your furry friend’s persona. For dog owners like me embarking on adventures, understanding how a name captures the essence of their character is crucial.

Superb photography! and with an I-Phone, yet. You have an eye and a talent that are wonderful. You could probably make a living on calendars and post cards. Thank you! I appreciate your posting to Bored Panda and sharing the beauty with all of us.

These are your "rocking chair days." Those are the days you will remember when you are old and rocking on the porch. You will relieve one of those days, one of those moments of awe and peace, and your face will light up with a smile.

That's great. "Rocking Chair Days", I like that. I was just writing a post along those same lines...I think I might use that in there. :) Thanks so much.

Many jobs can be done from anywhere. I remember talking with my cable repair guy. He told me he just wanted to make a million dollars as fast as he could. When I asked him what he would do with that million dollars he replied that his passion was to go surfing every single day. A great little surfing city was about two hours away from where we were having this conversation. I asked him if he couldn't just get a transfer to that town with the same cable company he works for right now? The lightbulb went on. Sometimes it is just a matter of creatively weeding out what you really don't need/want in your life in order to get what it is you really do want.

Thanks, now I make up my mind that I don't need to buy some fancy camera, because it was me who don't have any skill or sense to take a good pic not my camera. Beautiful pics btw!

Thanks so much. It's amazing what a phone camera can do :)
