The spillway at Watson Lake in Prescott, Arizona is flowing high thanks to recent moisture! That tree in the middle of the overflow channel is one tough cookie.

We pulled into @wolfcreekski right after a 24" storm. Not only was there still plenty of powder left over, it continued to snow 40" over the next four days of skiing and snowboarding. Despite a decent collection of Griswold family-like travel issues, it still felt like the Grail Knight was whispering, "you choose wisely" on those vacation dates!

Woke up to no heat/electric, shoveled out of a long driveway thanks to MIA plow service, swung into town for a new windshield wiper after the old one flew off on the highway, and then finally got on the hill about an hour after 1st chair. Thankfully, the folks at @wolfcreekski saved some good snow for us.

Kilauea lava meets the Pacific Ocean. Turns out Mark Twain wasn’t 100% correct when he recommended buying land because “they’re not making it anymore.” More photos at https://www.scottbideauphotography.com/hawaii/.

12 years ago, I picked up a dSLR after our first child was born. I quickly moved beyond being satisfied with auto mode shots to a craving for more.

Somewhere along the way, I started a little photog business. I learned a lot, including how difficult it is to make money as a photographer. Huge kudos to the true pros - the hustle is real!

I tried a pivot to landscapes for the build once, sell many business model. I was proudly picked up by a few galleries that started selling my prints and it was such an honor to see my images occasionally chosen over more accomplished photographers. My favorite 2 sales were a former employer who now displays my prints in their boardroom and my dad proudly doing the same in his conference room.

But my fav part of photography has always been the creative outlet offered to this engineering nerd that can also connect me with and help give back to the local community. And so, fairly early on, I decided to keep selling prints but to donate the earnings to charity - a decision that made the photography business feel good again! Around that time, I was introduced to an amazing movement called @help_portrait. Seeing the happiness that photography can bring to people in need inspired me to realign all of my future efforts towards helping charitable organizations with their still-image projects while directing the photog income to fund the equipment needed.

I would have never dreamed of owning this level of equipment when I first purchased a camera. I have been rewarded with some amazing experiences and have found some amazing charities that allow me to help share their story through photography. And most recently, I have amassed a bit more equipment than I need, so I am giving it away.

I started looking for the right recipient a few weeks ago. The choice became clear when I was at @launchpadteens and saw a couple of kids in the art room painting a canvas while a few others were doing a digital drawing on a tablet. I'm delivering the equipment later this week and can't wait to see what they create. I also look forward to showing them how to use the gear, just like so many others taught me!

Highlights from my son’s first lap on “outer loop,” the first of several bike trails scheduled for building this week in our backyard. Intentionally non-sanitized. Middle school children ages 11 to 13 who were intimately involved in the construction rate the inaugural route as a solid 10 out of 10! I’m just happy to watch the them play outside with tools. Features made out of rocks and cut trees come next week and then we will step into the wood shop (garage) to make the trail signs.

The @prescottcornerstone benevolence fund has been overflowing thanks to the generosity of donors, so $20,000 was given to two local charities, @yavapaiccj and @agapehouseaz. So thankful to be part of a church family who wants to be known for what we are for and who we are for in a world where too many churches are known only for what they are against.

Today's @prescottcornerstone "For Prescott" projects: fence building at Coalition for Compassion and Justice (CCJ) alongside painting at Lincoln and Taylor Hicks elementary schools. I even saw some familiar faces from the Bideau household! And check out those colorful painter's shoes! :)

@prescottcornerstone working on another awesome "For Prescott" project, this time over at Agape House, a place of support for families in crisis.

Yesterday, the @prescottcornerstone "For Prescott"

Yesterday, the @prescottcornerstone "For Prescott" group went by our local middle school to show the staff how much they are appreciated! Handwritten thank-you notes were delivered to each individual alongside a cart of snacks and treats. Signs were then displayed at the student pickup lane, with parents honking to show their support. Click that "Heart" button or share this post if you agree that "teaching is heart work!" Doing so might remind your friends to show their appreciation tomorrow!

This weekend…it was medal time for my daughter! First person she wanted to tell was mom, followed by Coach Lorrie and then her “Olympian friend, @chloewoodruff“ - all great role models!$

Large group photos are always a challenge, especially with 40 people who are itching to get back to biking! Thanks to parent Ed Morales for triggering my prefocused camera so I could get in the photo after he also took this cool behind the scenes shot! Three @godox_global strobes on tall light stands fired wirelessly with ETTL worked perfectly!

Proud dad moment. My daughter got behind at yester $Proud dad moment. My daughter got behind at yesterday's race after stopping to check on another girl who was experiencing mechanical troubles. But then she punched it from about 100 yards out all the way to the finish line (swipe for video), just like we had practiced earlier in the week. She was able to catch the girl who beat her at the last race and finish a fraction of a second ahead. She was also just 18 seconds from podium placement on a 47-minute overall time, so she has set a new goal for next time! #morekidsonbikes #moregirlsonbikes #milehighcycling @arizonacyclingassociation @milehighcycling$

I ran into this little guy last week. He had recently arrived in Prescott after fleeing Ukraine. A friend had seen my prior posts about a college buddy of mine in Kyiv and connected me with his aunt. Turns out her nephew loves to bike but had never been on a mountain trail. Also turns out I’ve got a lot of good friends who love teaching mountain biking skills with me + a bike hanging in my garage ready to use! Here he is at our @milehighcycling MTB 201 skills clinic just one day after completing MTB 101! So nice to be telling a positive story about (new) friends from Ukraine! Also nice to be telling a story about social media bringing people together instead of dividing us.

I nearly lost my voice yelling words of encouragement to all of our awesome middle schoolers tonight while also videoing their performance to watch later. This is a 180-degree u-turn on very loose dirt that is banked away from the turn. And yet by the 2nd or 3rd try, everyone was nailing it! So awesome getting #morekidsonbikes !

My favorite moment from today’s @arizonacyclinga

My favorite moment from today’s @arizonacyclingassociation race: my daughter rolling into the finish line with her brother and most of the other boys on our team cheering her on at both sides of the course from about 100 yards out all the way to the end. Several race volunteers told me that our team was one of the most courteous they had ever seen, including most of the kids thanking each course marshal as they rode by. We sure do have some great positive sportsmanship with this group!

My daughter took 6th place, which was only 40 seconds behind 5th place on a 34 minute ride. She is now focused on getting to that podium for race #2!

What a fun and exhausting (in a good way) time it

What a fun and exhausting (in a good way) time it has been to be a part of the amazing #milehighcycling middle school team this season! From planning an entire mock race event in just four hours when previous plans fell through to just taking a moment on the trail while everyone is grabbing a water to look around end enjoy the scenery and listen to the kids talk. I am so incredibly thankful for our fantastic students, their helpful and supportive parents, and a fabulous group of coaches! Our first race is in two weeks, so please wish us luck! But with so many skills clinics, a bike fit day, trail rides, and race reviews - these 28 kids don’t need a ton of luck because they’ve got plenty of confidence and grit! So proud of them all.
