Craters of the Moon

On April 21, 2022April 19, 2022 By beccaosunaIn national parks, Road Trip 2020Leave a comment

On the drive from Yellowstone to Crater Lake, before you hit the onion country of eastern Oregon, is a little visited National Monument and Preserve called Craters of the Moon. It's almost as startling as driving up on the Grand Canyon, you're just cruising through Idaho and all of a sudden you're surrounded by lava …

Fairy Falls Loop, Yellowstone

On January 22, 2021January 22, 2021 By beccaosunaIn Road Trip 2020Leave a comment

Maybe you're going to be in Yellowstone on a weekend, and you find yourself overwhelmed by the number of people in jeans taking all the parking spots and swarming all over the geysers or getting out of their cars when they see a bison. There are plenty of places where you can put in a …

Grand Teton and Yellowstone Dispersed Camping

On January 15, 2021 By beccaosunaIn Road Trip 20201 Comment

October 3rd 2020 was supposed to be the date of our wedding, followed by a big international honeymoon trip but then, you know....global pandemic. It gave us the opportunity to embark on a more local and socially distant trip, which was amazing. We got a (contactless) van rental the weekend of our wedding so we …

Davis Mountains State Park

On January 7, 2021 By beccaosunaIn Discovering Texas, Texas2 Comments

...And Big Bend National Park Important Big Bend Tip: When you're driving this close to the Mexico-U.S. border, you will be stopped multiple times at border patrol checkpoints. They will ask if everyone in the car is a U.S. citizen. If the answer is yes they will wave you on, if the answer is no, …

Milford Sound

On November 10, 2020 By beccaosunaIn New Zealand1 Comment

Driving to Milford Sound is an experience in itself, a hair-raising winding road along cliffs with stunning views. Being there in the off season we only had to worry about our own driving which was great, because in the busy season when that road is packed with cars and lots of drivers maybe not used …

Catalina State Park

On May 11, 2019 By beccaosunaIn Road Trip 2018, Trips1 Comment

Catalina State Park made me want to live in Tucson. It was beautiful, and in the morning I drove 3 minutes to a Starbucks for breakfast. I ran into people on the trails who were just taking their dogs for a walk because they live 5 minutes away. This was also my favorite photography of …

Guadalupe National Park

On April 27, 2019April 29, 2019 By beccaosunaIn Road Trip 2018, Trips, UncategorizedLeave a comment

My summer 2018 road trip was my last road trip with Adventure Prius I. The 2005 Prius with more than 240,000 miles on it had a good life, and it was time to pass it on to my cousin. My cousins live in Seattle, which opened up new road trip opportunities for me. Usually when …

About Me

I’ve been hiking, kayaking and adventuring since the day I was born, under duress until about 12, voluntarily since then.

Photography has been a hobby since high school, and it allows me to share my adventures and inspires my art projects when I’m back at home. If you’re interested in my screenprints and other art you can find them at StellaNova Prints.

In honor of the beginning of mud season in Vermont. #redefts #mudseason #hikevt #vermont #longtrail #greenmountainclub #printmaking #screenprinting #screenprintinglife #print #printmaker #printmakersofinstagram #printingbyhand #printing #printmakingstudio #printmaking #screenprint #houstonprinting #houstonartist #texasart #silkscreenprinting #silkscreen Albatross (albatrosses?) mate for life and each mating season recognize and greet their mate with a choreographed dance specific to that couple. It’s so gosh darn cute it deserved a little print. But also apparently they sometimes get divorced…  #printmaking #print #printmaker #printmakersofinstagram #printingbyhand #printing #printmakingstudio #printmaking #houstonprinting #houstonartist #texasart #albatross #linocut #linocutprint #linoprint My new favorite Conrad Anker quote, with a licorice climbing rope figure eight: "Obviously [climbing's] not for everyone but licorice candy isn't for everyone either." I've got a bunch of prints with smudges, misalignments, little paint splotches, etc. so I'm doing a grab bag of 5 prints with errors for $15. Pick your own or live on the edge and get a surprise pack of 5. Link in bio. A Yosemite sunset is worth a hike down in the dark. Watercolor + silkscreen. All the different sunsets are on Etsy, link in bio. #watercolor #watercolorart #screenprinting #silkscreen #silkscreenprinting #print #printmaking #printmaker #printmakersofinstagram #printingbyhand #printing #printmakingstudio #houstonprinting #houstonartist #texasart #yosemite #halfdome #sunset #hiking #californiaadventure Mountain goats are so enchanting…. 🐐 🏔 Just added this Enchantments inspired print  to the shop (link in bio). #theenchantments #enchantments #leavenworth #leavenworthwashington #alpine #alpinelake #mountains #mountaingoat #goatsofinstagram #goats #screenprinting #silkscreen #print #printmaking #printmaker #printmakersofinstagram #printingbyhand #printing #printmakingstudio #hiking #washington
