Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I was doing a daily lap through my front yard on Monday, which I’ve converted to a perennial flower garden, and I spotted this cutie popping up. I have no idea how a Pansy ended up in this area (since I didn’t plant it) but I could not be happier. Hopefully our May snowstorm doesn’t take her out 😬 0130 13
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Another photo of my lilac blooms. I planted her three years ago and have waited (impatiently) for the blooms to really show themselves. This is the first year they’ve really come in and it brings me so much joy and hope. 150 5
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Ya’ll, I have a Columbine flower blooming already. Over a month early 🤯 #coloradowildflowers #columbineflower 020 2
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 01/04/2026On the days I can feel myself getting swept up by the deluge of terrible news, I sometimes have to close everything and just scroll through my memories. I took this photo a few years ago during a work trip to Utah when I took time away from my chaotic schedule to get lost in nature. More of this. 030 3
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Listening to millennial emo music while going through old photos. Screaming “I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby!” while reliving a backpacking adventure just hits right. 120 2
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 27/01/2026My heart has been heavy lately. I know I’m not alone in this feeling. I spoke with a friend today about how we can’t lose our sense of wonder and joy during these dark times. We can’t lose our joy, humanity, or hope. Sunsets bring me back to this core truth. #joyisresistance #fuckice 070 7
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Photos can’t really do it justice but man o man what a sunrise in Denver this morning. 🌇 030 3
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 12/11/2025I recently decided to revisit an old hobby to help me keep away from doom scrolling about our shit show of a government. It has been very cathartic! And this beauty is giving me little sliver of joy on these cold evenings. #crochetblanket #fucktrump 050 5
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 06/11/2025As the shutdown continues and our federal employees continue to work without pay, I think back on a time when I traveled more for work and never once worried about my safety. It is such bullshit that MAGA is putting people at risk in every way possible: healthcare, aviation, taking kids to school 🤬 060 6
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 31/10/2025The iPhone 17 pro camera is…. Insane. I’ve just been wandering around my neighborhood looking for excuses to take photos. It’s honestly been cathartic and helping me pay more attention to the world around me. This fall evening required no edits whatsoever 🤩 1131 13
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Went on a much needed solo hike with the pups on Saturday to a very popular lake. It pays off to hike during shoulder season. When the fall leaves disappear so do many of the hikers. It had this place all to myself. 🙌 260 6
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Fall is coming to and end and winter is right around the corner so naturally I’m reminiscing about the summer. 020 2
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Such a beautiful day for a peaceful protest in Denver. #nokings #fucktrump 0121 12
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 14/10/2025I have too much to say and not enough to say most of the time. 040 4
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 09/10/2025It’s been a beautiful fall in CO. This was about a week before the “peak”. I’ll never get over the golds creeping up the mountains. 0101 10
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Crisp fall morning. The feeling of the first rays of sunshine striking your face as you stand alone in a field of sage brush. 060 6
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Fall in the West. This time last year I witnessed this beautiful scene in Utah. Can’t beat it. 0160 16
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 26/09/2025I struggle to find the passion I once had for editing my photography and sharing it. The world often seems too bleak to be posting a pretty picture. Recently though, I’ve felt a little more of that joy resurface. Here’s one recently that sucked me in and I’m really proud of. #aspens 1131 13
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 02/08/2025I’ve been holding onto this photo of a perfect Glacier reflection for years. Feels like a good palate cleanser as we have more and more lies shoved down our throats by this administration. If you have to redact your name from a doc, you’re in the doc. #trumpfuckskids #epsteinfiles 081 8
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 14/07/2025I spent the weekend in the mountains with limited cell service fully focused on finding all the summer wildflowers. Here are just a few to brighten your day. 071 7
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 11/07/2025A little flower action for your Friday. I was given these day lilies by my 91 year old grandma last year. We like to talk about the joy of gardening while lamenting the fall of democracy. It’s called balance. 071 7
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Denver Pride parade yesterday. Good vibes all around. It feels good and necessary to be around people expressing joy and boy was there JOY. 🌈🌈🌈 0144 14
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 11/06/2025With all the chaos and fear that is being unleashed on the American people, particularly in LA, it is hard to find joy or peace. I feel paralyzed most of the time by the news. If all I can provide is a peaceful photo once in a while that is what I will do. That and donate to ACLU ✌️#fuckfascism 0111 11
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 07/05/2025I haven’t posted a photo in a while. Here’s an image from a hike in Utah last fall. It was a brutal climb up 2,700 feet of elevation but oh so worth it. #lakeBlanche #hikingtherapy 1293 29
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Not a lot to say today. Just recharging before the week ahead with some throwback Disney movies and gardening. How’s your Sunday? 📍Somewhere over the Wasatch Mountains 0181 18
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Taking a break from reading about our constitutional crisis to let the healing of nature calm me down. Because WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?! Arresting judges now??? #nokingshere 1173 17
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 25/04/202530,000 feet. I have spent the last 5 years flying over some beautiful places. Recently, I took on a new position for work and my weekly views have changed to my backyard watching my pups run around and I can confidently say I have no complaints. 2150 15
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Ready for some summer activities. April is always such a tease in the Rockies. This view will be covered in feet of snow for at least a few more weeks. 0202 20
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 16/04/2025I can’t do any more news today. 🤬 Here’s a palm tree palate cleanser. I know it doesn’t do much but I for one need a moment to breathe before digging back in. 0564 56
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Take a moment to pause & breathe today. 📍White Sands National Park, NM #protectourparks #publiclandowner 0151 15
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 22/03/202530,000+ in Denver showed up to see Bernie & AOC. Powerful words were shared with a crowd of people looking for change and hope. We were in the overflow area and couldn’t see the stage but were blessed with a quick glimpse of these two revolutionaries. #fucktrump #fuckelon #fucktheoligarchy 79715 97
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Wish I was here… 📍Delicate Arch, Arches National Park #protectourparks #naturalwonders 3264 26
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 18/03/2025I waited years to visit this spot in the Rockies. It’s tough to get permits due to limited availability and honestly I figured it was overhyped. I stand corrected as it completely exceeded my expectations. It is a Colorado icon for a reason. 📍Hanging Lake, CO - 2023 11024 102
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Waterfall Wednesday. 📍Upper Snoqualmie River, WA #dailydoseofpeace #waterfall 01657 165
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 05/03/2025I took a walk down memory lane this morning scrolling through photos to set myself up for a nice calm morning. Instead I became viscerally angry again at all that this administration seeks to take away from us. Not surprisingly, our public spaces are their latest victim through layoffs. #fucktrump 0121 12
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 25/02/2025The daily deluge of chaos is a lot sometimes. How do you stay connected and informed but still sane? Humor helps. So does nature. I’m thankful both things are scattered among my feed to calm my frayed nerves temporarily. 0140 14
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Good night Bluesky. The doom scrolling has me in a state of anxiety that only nature can fix if only temporarily - and it’s only Wednesday. So until I can get home and enjoy the weekend I’ll continue living trough past adventures. 0170 17
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 12/02/2025They did but then they didn’t… zoom in and it’s changed zoom out and it’s still Gulf of Mexico. 🤦♀️ 000 0
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Just when I thought I couldn’t love being a Coloradan more. 💙And this is the turnout on a Wednesday -THOUSANDS. Keep showing up folks. The protest is expected to continue throughout the day. #denver #protest50501 #protectdemocracy #useyourvoice 413127 131
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 05/02/2025This is what democracy looks like. Denver showing up. #fucktrump #fuckelon #nooligarchy 16486861466 8.7K
Bec @bec2222.bsky.social · 29/01/2025I have been trying to dedicate a few minutes every day to dig into my photos from past mountain trips without any distractions. These moments give me a little bit of peace and encouragement that is much needed these days. I hope they help you too. 📍Colorado,USA #keeponkeepingon #naturephotography 1431 43
