Even though I live 4 miles from the center of Downtown, my unique location is mostly quiet and affords me some of the benefits of rural life. With wide open undeveloped land all around me and a huge park with a lake a block away, I get all kinds of visitors. #SoMee #someeoriginals#originalcontent #photography #Awesme #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #scenery #adventure #life #AnimalPhotography #gif #mygif #deer #wildlife

Here's another mini clip of my #RiverRafting trip down the #RioGrandeRiver in #NewMexico. The water was at near record levels, so normally going under this bridge doesn't require you to do anything special. At this time though, we had to hug the boat, because of those bolts sticking down as we went under. #SoMee #Awesme #someeoriginals #originalcontent #roadtrippin #travel #photography #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #RVing #Geology #adventure #video #gif #mygif #gif #mygif

A little while back I showed you a selfie of me standing in front #ChimneyRock. I just found some video of us driving to it and decided to share, so you could see the landscape around it. Chimney Rock is in the #NebraskaPanhandle on the far West side of the state. #SoMee #Awesme #someeoriginals #originalcontent #roadtrippin #hiking #backpacking #trail #travel #photography #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #RVing #Geology #adventure #video #gif #mygif

While hiking at #DesotoBendNationalWildlifeRefuge in #WilsonIslandStatePark, I shot this video of the #sunset. It didn't turm out as colorful as I'd like, but it was worth watching. This area is on the Western border of Iowa right along the #MissouriRiver, which you see in the gif. This is also a great spot to go Morel Hunting too. #someeoriginals #originalcontent #Awesme #hiking #trail #travel #photography #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #scenery #recreation #gif #mygif

Nietzsche gets finnicky with his eating when we are away and never cleans his bowl, so we let the locals clean up the rest. There were three or so taking turns, but once I set up the camera this courageous fella was the only one who dared to finish up. I enjoyed his company while he was here. He was the perfect house guest and I'll have him over again. #SoMee #someeoriginals #originalcontent #Awesme #travel #photography #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #scenery #adventure #Colorado #RockyMountains #backpacking #EastPortalTrailhead #MoffatTunnel #hiking #ForestLakesTrail #RollinsvilleColorado #gif #mygif

This is from a place where I frequently walk and meditate. After going through my gallery and seeing this again, these are the words it inspired me to write. #SoMee #someeoriginals #originalcontent #photography #myphoto #mywords #myquote #quote #gif #mygif #inspiration #meditation #philosophy #walk #cattails

We see these #WildTurkeys around quite often, but they're usually up closer to the #MissouriRiver Bluffs. We are down in the old #RiverBottom a few blocks away. Either way, we always enjoy visitors, especially when they are as well mannered as these #turkeys. They weren't bothered by me at all and were within 5 feet of me holding a camera. The camera alone would spook most animals. They are lucky it's not hunting season, because they were huge, lol. #SoMee #someeoriginals#originalcontent #photography #Awesme #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #scenery #adventure #life #AnimalPhotography #gif #mygif

I've still got road trippin and boating on my mind. We are cruising #MerrittReservoir here in the middle of the #NebraskaSandhills. You are able to tickle your fancy with any #watersport you'd like and even get a good hike, camp or four wheelin in here. #someeoriginals #originalcontent #Awesme #RVing #roadtrippin #boondocking #camping #freecampsites #hiking #trail #travel #photography #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #scenery #boating #recreation #gif #mygif

Let me take you back to the #ForestLakes for a panoramic view of the canyon walls that house the lakes. I'm actually half way up to the peaks and it's still a hefty climb to the top. There's actually three more lakes up there, but you couldn't tell from this vantage point. Sorry about the quality. This was quite a few years back and my gear was a bit behind the times, even for then. #SoMee #someeoriginals #originalcontent #Awesme #travel #photography #myphoto #LandscapePhotography #nature #scenery #adventure #Colorado #RockyMountains #backpacking #EastPortalTrailhead #MoffatTunnel #hiking #ForestLakesTrail #RollinsvilleColorado #gif #mygif

I know, I know, I say this a lot; but what do you do when your neighbor gives you two heads of cabbage? Make #CabbageRolls of course. I'm a strict #NoWaste type of person and never let anything go bad. If something is getting too ripe or going bad I find ways to preserve and use it through many different methods. For this reason, the neighbors always bring me their excess, rather than throwing it away. Sometimes they get a nice meal back in return, lol. This time we are eating half and the other half is in the freezer for quick meals in the future. Oh and this was converted to a #Keto version simply by replacing the rice with grated cauliflower. #SoMee #someeofficial #someeoriginals #originalcontent #Awesme #homemade #4Rs #FoodPreservation #cooking #gif #mygif

The forecast was for 4-7 inches of snow, but it warmed up too much and gave us 1 inch of this heavy slush. I've always said I wanted to be a #Meteorologist, because other than Politicians, they are the best paid profession that rarely deliver.???? #Awesme #someeoriginals #originalcontent #gif #winter #weather #myweather #mygif #forecast #snow

Good morning My SoMee Friends. Here's this mornings #sunrise animated through the #PixamotionApp. We're going to be unseasonable warm today, so I'm going to have to spend it outside. I hope your weather is favorable as well. #someeoriginals #originalcontent #myphoto #PhotoAnimation #GoodMorning #gif #mygif #Awesme

I'm not into multi-course meals, so I eat a lot of #pizza, #casseroles, loaded #sandwiches and #soups. Being on a #keto #diet, everything I share will be #LowCarb. The sauce is homemade from my canned #garden tomatoes and the crust is carb free and #homemade as well. Rather than simply showing you a picture of the finished product, here I am preparing it. When longer form content becomes more popular here, I'll start sharing some of my recipes. #someeoriginals #originalcontent #mygif #diy #gif #food #Awesme

I've been following a mostly #KetogenicDiet since late Spring and have had some great results through it. Of course I've experienced a healthy weight loss, which I've been able to keep off, but some digestive issues I've had have been brought under control as well. Many people think that a limited diet based on high fat consumption or a lack of carbs means that you must make sacrifices. This is not the case with Keto, because there are sweeteners out there that taste just like sugar, but aren't digested. Stevia is one and there are others that taste better, because #stevia has an aftertaste. #Truvia is the alternative I use and it tastes great. Limiting your carbs is going to bring on cravings, so you do need sweet snacks handy to curb them that won't take you out of keto. The nice thing is that these days we have pretty good alternatives for most of the comfort food ingredients we are used to. One thing that you do more of on a keto diet is make most of your food from scratch. It's a lot of work if you aren't used to it. For this reason I make up large batches of everything and freeze them into portions. This works out great and saves me so much time. Here's me making up a batch of #Keto cream cheese based #CinnamonRollFatbombs. They are amazing. #SoMee #someeoriginals #AweSoMee #homemade #gif #mygif #food #snacks #highfatfoods #lowcarbfoods #lowcarbdiet #diet #lowcarbsnacks

Happy New Years Eve. I hope you all have a positively eventful year and hitting the goal of 5 million users on #SoMee. I ran up to the park yesterday chasing the #sunrise, which wasn't what I expected, but was the moment to myself that was needed. #someeoriginals #originalcontent #gif #mygif #beautifulskies
