I have had fun hiking up several mountains over the years. Usually one of the best things about hiking up a mountain is the outstanding views of the surrounding area. Although I have climbed my fair share of mountains that did not have much if any view. But today I am here to talk about my favorite view. Hiking out to scenic views can be very rewarding. Sometimes it takes a lot… Read More

I am not always a morning person. And I am definitely not always a wake up before sunrise person. Especially in the summer when the days are longer and the sun rises earlier in the morning. But my job has gotten me used to getting up early for the morning commute often getting to see the sun rise on my job. And for a while I was in the habit of getting… Read More

Who doesn’t love a beautiful sunset? Thinking about sunsets makes me think how incredible of a natural phenomenon it actually is. Sunset happens every day. Every single day. It is kind of simple and yet amazing. There is a possibility that you will get to witness a beautiful sunset 365 days a year. And on top of that you don’t even necessarily have to go anywhere. You can sit at home and… Read More

Among trees I am particularly drawn to flowering trees. Native wild flowering trees specifically catch my eye. They often seem random. Walk through a wooded area often enough and at different times of year and suddenly you will see this burst of color where… Read More

I love to get out in nature. Hiking or running. Often with a camera. One thing I always enjoy is noticing what flowers are in bloom during different times of the year. Wildflowers are one of my favorite types of plants because they live in harmony with the environment. They seem to spend most of their time seemingly dormant or underground. They are often just a patch of green mixed in amongst… Read More

I have really grown to love flowers. I probably photograph them as much if not more than any other subject. Especially since I have really gotten to enjoy planting them and growing them right at home. I really enjoy perennial flowers. Flowers that regrow and flower year after year. Observing how different flowers return and grow at different times of year. Their genetic makeup and the environment working together to shape how… Read More

In 2009 my wife and I visited Acadia National Park in Maine for the first time. This is probably my favorite vacation we have ever been on. This trip introduced us to so much natural wonders and scenic views like nothing we have ever seen before. As someone who mostly drives to vacation destinations I think it says a lot when you fall in love with a place so much that you… Read More

Photography has lead me down so many avenues I never expected. That is one of the biggest blessings of falling in love with this art form. One thing I never expected to become so obsessed with is flowers. I love flowers. And I love photographing flowers. There is so much variety in flowers that every one you see is like having an entirely new experience. But, there is one type of flower… Read More
