The one on the left is our farm logo. Pronghorn Prairie Family Farm Co. Give it a follow as that’s where I hangout mostly. Not much on the personal page. The one on the right is the logo for our rabbitry. The name just got approved through #ARBA . I really dig it. I love Bri’s ability to design.

Morning Meditation - think about and sit with your fears. What are you afraid of? It’s not enough to just acknowledge them. Be with it. Where does it’s roots come from? The original fear we felt at the moment of our birth has never gone away. A cold, strange world where we no longer had all that we needed. Utterly helpless. It gave rise to our original desire - to live, to survive. It too has never gone away. Can you see that your fears are manifestations of your original fear and desire? Who will take care of you? How will you survive? You are no longer helpless. You are the one you seek. #nature #naturephotography #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #love #mentalhealth #photo #beautiful #art #picoftheday #selfcare #instagood #photooftheday #instagram #photography #travelphotography #instadaily #photographer #depression #ptsd #mentalhealthmatters #travel #naturelovers #landscape #happy #life #wildlife

This guy made me jump. Came out from under a stump. I thought I woke up a snake. Alligator lizard, Elgaria multicarinata. It’s still in the 70’s during the day in the Verde Valley but the nights are cold, especially down on the river. #nature #naturephotography #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #love #mentalhealth #photo #beautiful #art #picoftheday #selfcare #instagood #photooftheday #instagram #photography #travelphotography #instadaily #photographer #depression #ptsd #mentalhealthmatters #travel #naturelovers #landscape #happy #life #wildlife #arizona #lizard

Maybe I have too much time on my hands but I’m obsessed with stacking wood. I tried the normal stacking but it was wobbly, started to wrap around the house,and the wind was just pulling the tarps off. Not to mention it was cluttered looking. I looked at fancy stacking but it still had the tarp and wind issues. Check out this. It’s a German method called Holz Hausen. It’s sturdy. It holds over 2 cords. The cover is from cordwoodcovers.com. And after pricing it out to buy wood, stakes and tarps it’s more economical. I need 4 more of these. #nature #naturephotography #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #love #mentalhealth #photo #beautiful #art #picoftheday #selfcare #instagood #photooftheday #instagram #photography #travelphotography #instadaily #photographer #depression #ptsd #mentalhealthmatters #travel #naturelovers #landscape #happy #life #wildlife #firewood #arizona

I try to boil my life down to its base. I like that connotation as it’s active. It requires inputs and forces outputs - removing excesses. A lot of energy is required. I’m a minimalist but not in the modern sense. It’s more of a survivalist. Stripped of extremisms. I want to survive. To feel the world around me. To be immersed in it. To take it in. To risk drowning in it. To breathe it out. I don’t want to outsource my hardships. Not to buy my sustenance at the store. Nor find my comfort in man made things merely for comfort. I want to make myself by living with the world. To be made of it. To have my life compost back to it. To only have that which life is made up of. So that, in the end, this life I have created can be returned to create something different. #nature #naturephotography #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #love #mentalhealth #photo #beautiful #art #picoftheday #selfcare #instagood #photooftheday #instagram #photography #travelphotography #instadaily #photographer #depression #ptsd #mentalhealthmatters #travel #naturelovers #landscape #happy #life #wildlife #arizona #life

This is camp for the night. We’re pretty far in. We just started our river contract and we’re doing some gully busting for the next 2 weeks. What is gully busting? Drought, over grazing, heavy monsoons all add to erosion. When all that water hits a system that’s susceptible to erosion the energy of that water cuts deep into the soil carrying it many miles to the river. This in turn silts the river choking out native inhabitants and eventually makes the river shallower. Our job is to alter the flow of the water - not to stop it - but to dissipate it’s energy and slow it down. This allows the soil it does pick up to settle out and then allows for restoration of the grass lands. #nature #naturephotography #ptsdawareness #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #love #mentalhealth #photo #beautiful #art #picoftheday #selfcare #instagood #photooftheday #instagram #photography #travelphotography #instadaily #photographer #depression #ptsd #mentalhealthmatters #travel #naturelovers #landscape #happy #life #wildlife #arizona #erosion
