Back in September, I did a six-day mountaineering course on Mount Baker, a 10,781 foot active volcano in Washington's northern Cascades. This might very well have been the coolest thing I did all year. In one week's time, I learned how to strap crampons onto my double-walled mountaineering boots (and walk on a glacier in them), set up a tent on a glacier using snow anchors, tie an alpine butterfly knot, self-arrest with an ice axe, and pee in a Nalgene water bottle.
Thanks to David and Ari of Alpine Ascents, for taking good care of our crew, making sure we didn't die, and leading us across countless crevasses, to the summit of Mount Baker. After the Holy Yoga Retreat, Heather and I took a little detour up the 64 north to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Being early May in the high desert, we naturally got a spectacular sunset, followed by a night of rain and a morning of snow. After having breakfast at the historic El Tovar Hotel (Polenta Corn Hot Cakes with Prickly Pear-Pistachio Butter), we headed for the Hoover Dam, because who doesn't want to see the world's longest concrete arch? 
 
  Countless individuals have visited Connemara Ranch to improve their riding skills or experience the therapeutic presence of the horses and animals. The facility is looking ahead to a busy summer season and needed some beautiful photography of the animals, buildings, and surrounding area for their online presence. Should you ever find yourself in need of a stunning sunset, a silent afternoon among the oak trees, or a quick nuzzle from a horse, Connemara Ranch might be your place. 
 
 
 
 Like these? Lifestyle photography is a mixture of lots of disciplines. In this case, I got to practice landscape, animal, and architectural photography to mix it all together in these images. Check out more shoots like this on my lifestyle page or on facebook.
