And so it goes.

Up Up and Away!

To say that I had a blast would be a massive understatement!

Saturday Adventures!

Desperately needed to get off campus so Emily and I went exploring today! We went to the Walla Walla Audubon Society's natural reserve then we befriended some random sheep and goats somewhere in Oregon. It was much needed! 

Panic is Perfect // The Mowgli's

I've been really bad at posting photos. In fact, I've also been really bad at taking photos lately. New position with The Pioneer that doesn't involve shooting (although I am loving being the publisher), really busy with the RA life and the Chemistry major life, and free time seems to have dissolved away faster than a g-free cookie in milk. 

But, I'm working on it. 

So, here are photos from the Mowgli's concert last night! One of my all-time favorite bands played at Whitman College and I had the opportunity to photograph them! Panic is Perfect opened the show, and I highly recommend listening to both bands.

Elk Ridge Springs

I took a trip last week up down near the Abajo Mountains with members of the Grand Canyon Trust, the Ute Tribe, and a few professors and research students from Utah Valley University. The purpose of the trip was to go to the locations of several possible springs, check their status, and also perform a few water quality tests that UVU could then use to map the groundwater. As an aspiring environmental chemist, IT WAS AWESOME. 

Here are a few random photos that I took during the trip. 

This is a photo of the entire group planning the night before we hit the field. Not a glorious photo, but helps set the scene. 

After spending a lot of time in the desert, it was awesome to see some green.

I've been trying to figure out what to capture. This hasn't been a problem for me in the past- I kind of just shoot whatever I want. But here in Utah everything is perfect and should be photographed.... and I am worried that if I don't pay attention to my surroundings I will miss an opportunity. 

Here are a few photos that I have taken when I slow down to really focus on the little things around me. These were all taken along Huntington Creek up in Manti-La Sal National Forest.
