There are a lot of nice places to explore nature near where I live. One of my favorite local spots is Steege Hill Nature Preserve from the Finger Lakes Land Trust. There are several trails to explore while at Steege Hill. The trail I like the most is the yellow trail. And this photo illustrates my favorite part of that particular trail. On this section of trail there is a persistent layer… Read More

I try to photograph a wide variety of locations. And I try to incorporate a variety of different types of photography into my adventures. Frequently my photography takes me to public parks. Most of the time when I am photographing public parks I try to shoot it in a way that excludes the man made aspects of the park. I like to try to showcase nature most of the time. When I… Read More

One of the nicest places to hike in the winter is Taughannock Falls State Park. The park features a 1 mile trail that is pretty level and relatively easy to navigate even in the snow. And as a reward for braving the cold and the snow there is the 200+ foot waterfall to view at the end of the trail. The waterfall is quite a site throughout this time of year as… Read More

On my trips to Acadia National Park one of the most popular places for people to visit has been Thunder Hole. This beautiful landscape draws crowds of people. In addition to the landscape itself being beautiful if the tides are crashing on the shore just right it causes I loud booming noise ion that location, thus the name Thunder Hole. I have not yet been fortunate enough to experience the booming of… Read More

Acadia National Park in Maine has been one of my favorite places to visit over the years. There are so many beautiful places to explore in this park. Many of the sights are tourist attractions that are visited by large numbers of people. Those spots are great. But one of my favorite places in the park is a small little beachfront where I have seldom seen many people. Little Hunters Beach is… Read More

But, not too many hiking adventures can compete with hikes that lead to beautiful views from mountain overlooks. Exerting myself to climb up to a view of nature like this is one of the most satisfying feelings for me. There are so many amazing views to explore. I really need to… Read More

I love to explore landscapes. My favorite places to explore are areas that are home to a variety of different types of environments. There is quite a bit to see at the Paul Smiths Visitor Center in the Adirondack region of New York. Wetlands and woodlands. Mountain landscapes off in the distance. Wildflowers and trees. And it is even a nice spot to watch some birds. There are nice trails that will… Read More

My photography generally centers around nature. I usually go out of my way to avoid photographing anything man made in my scenic shots. I have been trying to stretch myself lately. Include some structures in my scenes that fit with the type of work I already am passionate about. This image is well outside my normal photography range. But it is almost on par with the amazing scenes of nature. Standing at… Read More

In the colder months I do not usually like to get up in the morning and get right outside in the freezing cold for photos. That was one of the best things about my one phot a day project last year. It inspire and motivated me to get outside my comfort zone. Literally and metaphorically. Literally crawling on the ground outside in the morning on a cold day fit right in that… Read More

Winter is a time of year when I can really struggle in creating new photography. I am much less adventurous in winter. And my photography probably suffers for that. I always want to take more winter landscape photographs, but somehow never seem to make it happen. Getting out and actually creating some nice winter scenes always makes me happy and fulfilled. For anyone else whose photography drops off during winter I wanted… Read More
