for National Parks Week, I posted a photo on Instagram from every National Park i've visited (5 so far). Here are my photos I shared last week, all dug up from my 2016 vault. This summer, i'm excited to add one more to my list - Volcanoes National Park!!!

Parks, in order of photos:
-Big Bend National Park
-Redwood National and State Parks (note - photo taken using a cheap wide angle lens attachment for my phone, which distorts image and lowered the overall quality, but was only way for me to capture the tall trees!)
-Mount Rainier National Park
-Glacier National Park
-Rocky Mountain National Park

Arthur Ravenel Bridge, Charleston SC - October 2012

(I took these with the Hipstamatic App, and no filterless/original image was saved by the app at the time. I used Snapseed to crop and convert to b&w, but am not able to discard the lens blur at edges. I like the effect just fine, but I'm feeling a great sense of disappointment and loss that there is no "original" of these.)
