Living in Alaska gives me so many opportunities as a photographer to capture some impressive and vast landscapes and wildlife but due to personal circumstances and nasty weather I haven't been able to get out and about much this month. So I decided to focus a little closer to home and do a yard challenge. Essentially, I took my camera and lens out into my yard and tried to find something interesting to photograph. I slipped this in between rain storms and I was pretty happy with the results. Sometimes I get caught up in wanting to go explore and forget that there is beauty right in front of me.
