We went camping and visited some state parks. But it is crazy to realize how much you don’t know that you don’t know regarding the wide variety of outdoor experiences that exist.

It definitely seems like you can see a Common Muskrat anyplace there is water. Having the opportunity to see a Common Muskrat on land and photograph it was nice. I love the reflection of the Muskrat in the water. Photo… Read More

Watching how waterfalls transform as they begin to freeze when temperatures drop is so interesting. There are opportunities to capture all sorts of unique images. The water flow changes and ice… Read More

We love to try to grow plants all around our home. The plant we have added to our yard which has grown most strongly has been this flowering cherry tree. I don’t even know how long this tree has been growing outside out house now. It has grown large and it has grown strong. This means every year if nothing else I have an opportunity to try my hand at creating new… Read More
