I am on a trip for next couple weeks, but wanted to give you a small teaser from my trip out to Colorado. It was an amazing trip and am really excited to do some editing and sharing! see you all soon! Emerald lake is a beautiful alpine lake hidden away behind Crested Butte. A few miles down a dirt road only a jeep has any right going down that we blazed in a small Subaru :D. While there I saw a canoe I could use and had some steel wool, so I decided to try out some lake steel wool shots. Whatcha think?
