      Hi! Thanks for visiting.

      I'm Beth, a WildEarth traveler on land & sea.

      More than anything, I love being out in the natural world & feeling connected to it.

      Like me, you may feel overwhelmed and disconnected from that feeling.  

      I firmly believe that we, as human beings, are part of the web of life and that our psyches are not isolated or separate from our environment. We are connected to and impacted by the natural world.

      But all the busyness of life & insanity in the world has removed us from that integral web - and that disconnect is part of what makes us so crazy!

      Adding to that is the concern about where our planet is headed in the face of such great odds. 

      Let's discover ways to reconnect to help ourselves feel grounded, to find that attachment that seems elusive.

      Join me on a journey to meet people who are optimistic as they work to protect our world.

      Come with me on this mission as we reconnect our human spirit to the natural world.

      Thank you!

      A foursome of manta rays glide through turquoise waters in Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea. We had a magical dive before breakfast with the rays as they came into cleaning stations but I opted to get airborne after breakfast while everyone else went back in the water. I knew the calm conditions wouldn't last long and was keen to see the mantas from above. Glad I made that decision. The wind came up towards the end of my 25 minute flight. We had a few more dives with the manta rays but never calm air & flat seas again.

      9 weeks after setting out on my journey to seek out optimism, I'm home brimming with stories begging to be written, images to be shared, and interviews to transcribe & record. 
In addition to spending quality time with dear friends, I made new friends and met such interesting and wonderful people along the way. Spending time immersed in areas full of intriguing geology, stunning vistas, beautiful wildlife large & small, and just being quiet during long hours behind the wheel exploring helped reconnect me to the natural world. 
Another adventure lies right around the corner so it'll be a while before I have time to work with all the content from this summer's trip. For now the camper is tucked in for winter and Tuktu cleaned and resting up after carrying me safely 5,000 miles seeking WildEarthVisions.

      Bear photography... with a phone held out the window! So many bears, grizzly and black, were out and about in Yellowstone National Park this past week! Thus cinnamon- colored black bear was munching away in a meadow late one evening. 
I wish every person in our country could experience Yellowstone at least once in their life. While parts of it might be crowded (especially in summer) it's wide open spaces, abundant wildlife, fascinating geologic wonders, and stunning scenery touch something deep in our souls reminding us that we are profoundly connected to the natural world.

      It's been more than a week without internet and so much has happened!! From a great couple of days at Ft. Washakie to Yellowstone, I've covered a loft of ground, done a couple of fun & fascinating interviews for  WildEarthVisions, seen incredible wildlife & scenery, and have experienced times with dear friends, rain, sleet, and hot sun, and glorious tranquility in Nature. 
It's going to take time to handle all the photos and footage, transcribe interviews for editing, and do all the writing! So stay tuned.... the journey seeking optimism and connecting to our natural world continues!

      Little house on the grasslands. Camped in a wide open, quiet place worth the Wind River mountains to the west. As I was driving through the area today I was thinking how I wish I could bring everyone I know with me to see and feel, this vast stunning space.

I'm whipped after a full day learning about Jason Baldes' WildEarthVision to bring buffalo back to his Shoshone people, the Arapahoe, and to the grasslands (where bison are critical keystone species) so all of us can nut only enjoy watching them but also understand why they are such vitally important animals (bison are our national mammal!). Hard to keep up with such full days of filming, keeping footage & audio files organized, and trying to write. I'm already a bit behind and tomorrow I'd another full day!
      Waking up to the sound of soft snorts & munching...
      Today I drove west on I-80, climbing steadily on the highway bisecting stunning grass and sagebrush country. Lots of pronghorn! One beautiful buck stood regally atop a large outcrop as though surveying his kingdom. The strong wind rippled the grasses,  shimmering waves rolling over gentle hills. 
I've come to the Wind River Reservation to meet a fellow who was instrumental in getting bison (buffalo) returned to their lands. I didn't know that Sacajawea was buried here. Tonight, against the dramatic backdrop of bruised thunderclouds & lightning flashes I walked to her grave. Standing at the site (her sons are buried beside her) I was unexpectedly, and quite powerfully, moved.
      It's almost midnight here in Colorado. This has been a very full few days: full of intense heat (105°!), loaded with thick dust, chock full of wildlife, history, and exploration. 
From canyons cutting through the Comanche Grasslands to the open prairies protected by the Southern Plains Land Trust to the lush cottonwood groves of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, I've seen so much in a few days. Needed to say, I have heaps of images, footage, and stories to share!

But now sleep beckons. WildEarthVisions is dreaming....
