I am fortunate to live in an area rich in natural beauty. So many great public lands available to access and enjoy all year long. Some of my favorite beautiful state parks are under an hours drive away. How much more could you ask for. Well, you could ask for a state park that takes those beautiful close to home state parks and scales them up to the next level. And that… Read More

Running has brought me a lot of things over the years. One of the most important things running has brought into my life is friendship and community. After several years of battling a variety of different nagging injuries that have kept me from being as much of a part of the running community as I would want to be I was feeling a little lost in my pursuit of running. I have… Read More

I love to get out into nature. Often when I plan to go outside there is a specific reason. I want to photograph a waterfall. Or I want to hike some trails. And some places are great for specific experiences. But what really can make a place special is if it is a haven of a wide variety of natural experiences. This is what I love about Tanglewood Nature Center.

Hiking and Trail running are two of my favorite activities. I love getting outside in nature. At a faster or slower pace with or without a camera I always enjoy time on hiking trails. There are many different places where you can access hiking trails: Local nature centers, Land preserves, state forests, Wildlife management areas, State parks and local parks to name a few. But some trails consist of a large variety… Read More

Aperture or F stop. This controls how much light is allowed in through your lens. If you notice anything about these 3 variables it is that they are all related to how light interacts with your camera. Each of these… Read More

At this point I have not been able to run regularly for around 2 months. In mid April I decided to try to run 3 miles at our local group run, because my leg had been feeling fine with everything else I had been doing, which excluded only running. I ran 3 miles. But it was quite painful the entire time. Next up was Hills Creek Challenge on May 3rd. I had… 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

I love having something fun to do outside. If it involves me going somewhere outside my normal area I like to try and make a day of it. I will try to cram as much activity as I can into one trip. Recently a friend “convinced” me to take on the challenge of biking around each of the 11 Finger Lakes in New York over the course of this year. It really… Read More

As a person who experiences significant social anxiety I find it easier to meet and connect with people if I know we already have a common thread where I can relate to them. Thing is enjoy in life divide roughly into two categories. I love the artistic and creative parts of life and I love being active especially if it is outside. When I can weave these two things into connecting with… 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
