"The price of anything is the amount life you exchange for it." -Thoreau
__________________________________________
I had some plans fall through this week which bummed me out, so yesterday I decided at the last minute to drive ~2 hours up to Syracuse to visit Antelope Island.
I arrived at around 10 am, and didn't leave until after 5 pm. At one point I hiked up the face of the mountain with a backpack full of photography gear, looking for a herd of bison. When I found them, I sat down on a rock about 30 yards away and didn't even take my cameras out for a good half hour. Part of me felt like I was supposed to just be there in the moment.
That was the mood I kept with me for the rest of the day. Before photographing owls, porcupines, coyotes, or antelope, I took a moment to capture the images with my eyes first.
I eventually got some great photos of those animals, as well as many more beautiful vistas, and I think Thoreau would agree... It was well worth the time I spent.

O H H E Y U T A H From sunny skies in Moab to A Winter wonderland 90 minutes away in Goblin Valley. Then back to sun in Hanksville and again a blizzard in Capital Reef. I loved seeing it in a way I've never seen it before.

You guys, I climbed Frary Peak today, got down right as that storm was blowing in. Easily the most challenging thing I've climbed, solo. Did not die. Frary Peak is 6569' above sea level and about 7 miles roundtrip. . . . . . #hardwork #dothework #didnotdie #badassery #badasswomen #optoutside #liveelevated #elevatedliving #elevation #mtnchicks #frary #snowhike #snowlife #snow #hikingtrip #hikingutah2019 #hikeutah #xputah #utahgram #utahsnow #utahisbeautiful #utahmountains #utahlake #greatsaltlake #utahillustrated #utahadventuring #utahweather #Utah #hikelikeagirl #antelopeisland

#ad if I’m being honest, the most epic thing about this @EPICbar post is that there were bison in the background of this pic, just too far away to get in the shot! 😍😂 Epic Bars are a great go-to for refueling after an adventure or even just to have around if you forgot to meal prep! They’re also gluten free, rich in protein, and low in sugar 👏🏼 Try your own at your local @Krogerco store, I got mine at @mysmithsgrocery 🤗 . . . #KrogerEPIC #bison #antelopeisland #wildlife #epicbar #mealprep #adventurouslife #allnatural #glutenfree #utahblogger #utahphotographer #dallasblogger #dallasphotographer

Antelope Island 🥶
Truly my favorite place in Utah. #antelopeisland #beutahful #optoutside #utah #winterhikes
This place is a photographers heaven. @antelopeislandstatepark
Our faces were numb but it was well worth it. I’m still pretty fascinated with how beautiful it is here. I’m ready for the heat though.....😭 #antelopeisland #isitsummeryet #utah #bisoneverywhere
Take me away from my comfort zone To a place where I see no end Throw me out where the blizzard is blown And I’ll race you until we come to a deadend Never doubt me for a second As I’m much smarter than I may appear Go ahead and tell me I can’t do something Blah blah blah, in one and out the other ear

Running “with” Kate... several 100 miles apart. Alternate title: “Me, Harry Potter, and some buffalo on the island.” I wasn’t able to join my BRF for her race down in Moab, so I put in some trail miles to run with her in spirit. #wasatchbamr #ultratraining #trailandultra #wmwranglers #womenwhomove #trailrunning #orangemud #skirtsports #skirtsportsambassador #antelopeisland
So, this happened 😂😍 I am obsessed with them 🖤
My favorite thing about this picture is the teal strip of sky down by Antelope Island. Why is it my favorite? Because @shackletonic said it reminded him of a tropical island.

Sometimes you’re just tired and don’t want to do your run but you do it anyway. So glad I got out today. Blazed a snow covered trail to start and doubled up on Split Rock Loop and Elephant Head. It was a great run. #altrarunning #altratimp #embracethespace #zerolimits #snowrunning #antelopeisland #100miletraining #utahtrails #sunrise #allsznrunner #alwaysbegrateful

When you’re struggling and trying to make a comeback AGAIN, you join a group and just RUN! 🤦♂️😂 Thought I was going for 16 but ended up with 20 miles. Thanks to these ladies I finished. This is what running is for.

If you’ve seen my stories at all recently you know how in love I am with this mosaic bison! And I spent the better part of my night last night rearranging my gallery wall in my living room so that Billy Bison would have a home. It’s so hard to stage a tall wall but I’m so happy with how it turned out! We live pretty close to Antelope Island on the Great Salt Lake, which is home to a ton of bison who will just walk right up to your car, so when Lia showed me this I knew I had to buy it before it was even cut out! He’s amazing Lia! @parkerplacewoodwork • • • • • #bison #antelopeisland #utah #statepark #mosaic #billy #gallerywall #saturday #makerssupportingmakers #makersofinstagram

1,000 followers! Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻 I started this IG account to help myself get out of a “mom-funk”... I’m sure many moms have felt it. We as mothers tend to “lose ourselves” in “mom-life”, taking care of the family; cooking, cleaning, meal plans, running to and from school, appointments, bills, etc. etc... and we somehow in the mix lose our hobbies. I stopped taking photos about 4 years ago when I got pregnant with my first, and since have just taken pics of the kids on my phone. Don’t get me wrong, being a mom is the best job I’ve ever had, even over tracking big game, tracking whales, and guiding interpretative tours on horseback. But I decided it was time to find “me” again, and pick up some old hobbies again, including hiking, horseback riding and photography. All of your comments and love have helped motivate me to not only get out on an almost daily-basis to take pictures, but also to take my kids out and teach them about the amazing things they get to see and experience in the process. Thank you for supporting me, keeping me motivated, and helping me be ✨ME✨ again, while being the best mom I can be. ❤️ . . . #thankyou #momlife #1000followers #1000 #getoutside #explorewithkids #beyourself #motivation #staymotivated #supportyourfriends #love #motherhood #utahphotographer #antelopeisland #nature #beautifulplace #earthpix #awesomeearth #best_worldplaces #watchthisinstagood #outdoorswoman #earthcapture #theweatheregg #discoverearth #theoutbound #gottalovethisplanet #utahunlocked #waycoolshots #landscape_captures #wonderful_areas
