Happy #NationalBirdDay! Bird watching is one of my pastimes and living next to @evergladesnps makes that endeavor all the more fruitful. I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that EVER’s Barred Owls are among my favorite subjects to photograph, among others. When I was in 4th grade I wanted to be an ornithologist. 20 years later…. it didn’t exactly happen but I’m still happy that my love of owls endures. : : #Everglades #evergladesnp #evergladesnationalpark #evergladesnps #miami #florida #igersenp #igersbigcypress #FindYourPark #GoParks #usinterior #experienceyouramerica #americasbestidea #protectpubliclands #protectingparks #naturephotousa #natparkexplorer #optoutside #monumentsforall #sharetheexperience #nationalpark #nationalparkgeek #ibrakeforbrownsigns #nationalparkobsessed #owl #owls #barredowl #owlsofinstagram #audobonsociety (at Pahayokee Trail Everglades) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQYeHNne-M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ed7bhyww09rf
Hiking to this beauty was intense but worth every freezing cold second. Standing in the presence of this icon is akin to seeing the Statue of Liberty or a Redwood- it is so perfectly American. It is part of our identity. : : #arches #FindYourPark #archesnationalpark #archesNPS #moab #utah #moahutah #visitutah #discoverutah #utahrocks #lifeelevated #FindYourPark #GoParks #usinterior #experienceyouramerica #americasbestidea #protectpubliclands #wnpa1938 #protectingparks #naturephotousa #natparkexplorer #optoutside #thenationalparkspass #findyourway #monumentsforall #sharetheexperience #nationalpark #nationalparkgeek #ibrakeforbrownsigns #nationalparkobsessed (at Arches National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br_uOCmnbzc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19x69yvzf3qjq
I don’t think I’m ever going to get over the fact that I’m actually standing here and this isn’t a picture in @natgeo or a scene from @kenburnspbs. : : #RockyMountainNationalPark #FindYourPark #rockymountain #rockymountains #rmnp #colorado #estespark #coloradolive #FindYourPark #GoParks #usinterior #experienceyouramerica #americasbestidea #protectpubliclands #wnpa1938 #protectingparks #naturephotousa #natparkexplorer #optoutside #thenationalparkspass #findyourway #monumentsforall #sharetheexperience #nationalpark #nationalparkgeek #ibrakeforbrownsigns #nationalparkobsessed (at Rocky Mountain National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6NBczn3b7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vnxsyfdsaiz9
The tallest mountain in this shot is Clingman’s Dome, which is sadly closed for the season. An excuse to come back in spring or summer, though. #Greatsmokymountainsnationalpark #FindYourPark #smokymountains #greatsmoky #tennessee #northcarolina #FindYourPark #GoParks #parks101 #ShareTheExperience #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkgeek #RockThePark #usinterior #wnpa1938 #alltrails #experienceyouramerica #whyihearttheparks #americasbestidea #naturephotousa #npcollective #protectpubliclands #natparkexplorer #monumentsforall #optoutside (at Clingmans Dome)
