Cozy Fantasy: An Underrated Genre

I have not read a ton of books in this genre yet but I love what I have read. The cozy fantasy genre looks at the small scale, these characters just want to live their lives in simple wholesome ways and when they fight they are fighting for their own lives. Don’t get me wrong,

Cimarron National Grassland

So years ago and I’m taking when Keltin and I first started dating, we visited the Cimarron National Grassland. I wanted to go back and explore a bit more. Over the holidays, Bear and I had a chance to go out to the grasslands and we had a good – if windy day – exploring.

Winter’s Colorful Details

Winter Hiking I do have film photos from this hike, but with the holidays I have delayed getting them developed. That being said, I really enjoyed how these turned out. iPhones portrait mode works surprisingly well for plants. Safe travels, leave no trace, and get outside.
