I love to run.

If I have my choice I choose to run trails.

Often I take a camera with me.

There are things I can see out on a trail adventure that I may not see any other time.

I may explore in ways on a run that I don’t other times.

Longer, farther on the trail. Not where I would normally think to go with my camera.

A couple years ago I went on a solo 50k run.

It was part of a virtual challenge caled Aravapia Strong.

This run got me out exploring sections of trail I had not been on before and that is the fun and the why to what I do.

And it is why I carry a camera. So I can photograph the sights along my journey.

Photo details: Nikon 1 J4. 1 Nikon 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6. Focal length 10mm. ISO 400. 1/1250 sec. f/3.5.

Thanks for joing me on the blog today for some of my explorations.
