When he grows up, he will be three feet taller. Pachyderms= thick skin, as they are referred as. The most amazing mammal to be in the presence of. Nothing at all like them that walks this earth. Their trunks can lift up over 650 pounds and can also untangle pea sized seeds in dry grass and eat them one by one. The second most dangerous animal in Africa- They can lean over trees 3 feet across but can gently caress your hair knowing it’s a way to communicate softly. There is a brain in there with feelings built to deeply care for their families. As you know, my respect for nature is immense. And I live to know that animal capabilities and intelligence are never to be underestimated. #africanwildlife #elephantlover #naturelover #kenyawildlife #hazenaudel #natgeochannel #disneyplus
This little bugger has been my buddy this winter. Usually meets me in the front field when I’m out there. The North American Porcupine one of America’s favorite cuddly pokey rodents. #porcupine #localwildlife #naturenerd #wildlifefilmmaker #animallover #animalloversofinstagram #hazenaudel #kuhlclothing

The present and the historic humans that make to make incredible things for self expression and for sharing with everyone around them. I need this in my life everyday. Europe is full of it. And Croatia is crazy full! Soooo,, getting back there very soon! #travelcroatia #europetravel #croatia🇭🇷 #croatiafulloflife #architecturelove Photography and video work by @lucky_m_e
Fun in the front yard of the Yukon. #preseason #proffesionalkid #offgridliving @d.wolfe_photo #yukonlife
Attempt # 2.. ;/ “Might delete later”…. Nahh, it was a super fun time! (( Except it made me hate all my history teachers I had in school. They were the worst!! Once i got to live my own life I started to find out, not only how endlessly fascinating history is, but how crucial it is to know and understand.)) @vedrandragovic showed me this RAD place in Croatia where for hundreds of years the people of this region hand dig canals to transport citrus and vegetables to feed adjacent kingdoms and villiages. The canals are still in use. The walls, and fortresses and houses are there in awe inspiring ruin to remaining inhabited, used and in states of restoration all are there. @croatiafulloflife @croatiantravelfestival @nikolabaraka #europetravel #europeantravel #travellife #traveller’s #liveofftheland #livingofftheland the good photos are from @lucky_m_e
The wonders that exist on the side of the road. Because wonders are having a harder and harder time living anywhere else. #bandedgecko #geckolove #herpinglife #naturenerd #arizonanature #buglover
Best thing about being stuck in a hotel away from home might be to celebrate the good things about being home when I am there. . .#childrensbookillustration #watercolor #travelpainting #hazenaudelartworks #artheals
Of course the fastest of all sprinters in the Animal Kingdom. #animallover #africanwildlife #b&w
A little moment while sitting with the Mani. They are together making new blowguns. As hunters and gatherers their perfectly tuned hunting equipment makes tribes. They are always together. As are all the elders, women and children. The way humans are meant to be. They are never lonely. Loneliness is deadly. #b&w #triballiving #hunterandgatherer #mani
I big highlight of the summer was rounding up some personal friends. They brought their families. And we spend time. This next summer expect to hear about family trips that I am organizing along with other expeditions and workshops. This particular trip was such a reminder of how important it is- the relationships we make in the world and taking care of them. AND that when you go out in nature- it starts inventing adventures.

I just think that animals are beautiful.
Let’s call this a very nice informal testimonial. But what I love about Nature is that you never know what your going to find on adventures like this . But what I love about nature is I Love nature… and I love showing how much I love it. Simple.

There’s one dear friend in my life that lives here in this corner of the USA that shows me her life that depends on her horses. Her life is with them from dawn till dusk. She has no car, so when I would visit her we would saddle up or go bareback and head into town. Using trails, side streets, and eventually sidewalks. We would make it to the grocery store to get things for dinner and tie the horses to the bike rack. Or if there was some good live music we would tie our horses to the railing at the bar. The town is well accustomed to her movements and protects her lifestyle and horses. I had seen first hand my friend’s dedication and knowledge. As much as I would love to have horses as my life, I am reluctant and wise enough to know my life for now cannot include these animals that make me feel so good. Although I had romanticized for most of my life- being able to ride a horse to work everyday. Even had a plan for this when I was a high-school teacher. Maybe in a different life or maybe my life in another corner of a country in the world. I remain open to what brings me fulfillment. They are our beasts of burden that have been raised, captured, bred domesticated so we could live along side of them. They improved our lives in every place on the planet we could take them. They won wars for us and heal. #handmadetack #horsetack #horsepacking #horsemanship @lynxvilden #lifestyle #horsesofinstagram #equestrian
Love it when I have to get up, go outside and let myself and my dog go out and pee and this is the suprise I get to see. #ferrel #c3100 #farmtruck #hazenaudelartworks #hazenathome #skiseasoniscoming #powdertothepeople #patinatruck

My Dad supported our family by being a car painter/ pinstriper on cars and hand painting signs. My mom finished paying the bills by taking the bus everyday to downtown and working as an insurance adjuster. Through struggles, growth, loyalty, and love, and need they raised us 4. And over time created 14 more and growing. They didn’t do everything right but stuck it out to create what life means. In 1990 After Dad painted the flames on her Miata he finished up by paintng her name on the door and in even smaller letters it says “I love you”. 33 years later in the sun and after countless washes those little letters that say it all are almost all rubbed off. More than 64 years later my Mom and Dad are still together doing the hard stuff the good way. #fuckinA #family #hazenathome #lifelessons
Getting back from a road trip adventure with my ever ready adventure girl Bales. An annual excursion of sorts to celebrate the Autumn. I need and love the seasons. To me, the fall is the time for reflection on the entire cycle of the year that happened. A way to analyze and evaluate how best to hit the refresh button. How did I grow older?- in the good ways and the bad ways. A time to rest from a sweaty hectic summer. Get cozy then work out the Quads and butt for ski season then get cozy again. I proudly got to bring and camp in the Wooden teardrop trailer/camper with accompanying Cedar Strip canoe Dad invented and built together. Thank you Dad for always teaching me that you can always design & build what you can dream up. I made it down to Jackson Hole Wildlife film Festival. I got to feel a part of this sect of a world community committed to making the world a better place. Showing members of earth how incredible the natural world that we share is full of wildlife and wonder. And how it needs our love and care. #handmadelife #jacksonwild #jhwwff #wildlifefilmmaker #hotrod #dogsofinstagram #adventurebuddy #woodie #woodywagon #woodiewagon #teardroptrailer #teardropcamper #cedarstripcanoe #woodenboat #woodworking #kuhl
Took an early summer morning stroll today down the road. The bees are awaiting the sun. The Canola Flowers are awaiting the bees. #honey #farmlife #landscapephotography
