I’m Danielle, hiker, photographer and lover of the wild outdoors.  I’m a life-long learner always seeking to expand my knowledge of the natural world and the lessons it teaches.  This website documents my outdoor experiences, from backcountry adventures in Southern California’s wild west to peaceful walks in New York City’s botanical gardens.  It’s a mix of personal reflections and my photography. I hope the images you find here will inspire you to connect with nature and appreciate its beauty wherever you may be.
