The Lost Mine Trail

One of the more popular trails at Big Bend National Park is the Lost Mine Trail. This is because of the many beautiful overlooks along the trail and it’s proximity to the Chisos Basin camping and lodge area. In fact, one of the most challenging aspects of hiking this trail is finding a space in… Read More The Lost Mine Trail

Mary Had a Rock

My Monday morning at Shenandoah was cloudy and there wasn’t much chance of the sun getting through the clouds as it rose, so I don’t have any photos worth sharing of that. But I did meet my brother and his kids for a hike up to Mary’s Rock. This hike is out-and-back from Thorton Gap… Read More Mary Had a Rock

Hikes to Waterfalls

As mentioned in my previous post, I recently went on a trip to Shenandoah National Park for hiking and some fall color. On the Sunday of my trip, I planned hikes to go see some waterfalls. There are trails around the Big Meadows area that lead to waterfalls, so I planned to start here. My… Read More Hikes to Waterfalls

Shenandoah

I went to Shenandoah National Park. I planned this for late October to coincide with the leaves turning to autumn colors as this is a sight that I do not see often living in central Texas. The park is in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and has hundreds of miles of hiking trails, including the… Read More Shenandoah

Pedernales Falls State Park

You may remember from my last post that I went to Pedernales Falls State Park with my daughter. Well, I went back Saturday alone as I wanted to do a lot of hiking, including going up to the river overlook to see what it looked like around sunset. Pedernales Falls State Park is west of… Read More Pedernales Falls State Park

Sunrise and Prairie Dogs

Early one morning while visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park I was driving and noticed fog down the river valley at the park. The next morning I planned to be in the park and ready to shoot some photos should the fog return. It sort of returned so I pulled over to a spot along the… Read More Sunrise and Prairie Dogs

Hiking the South Unit

I also spent a couple of days at the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, but I don’t feel like my pictures from the South Unit were nearly as good as those from the North Unit. I am not sure why but it may be because most of the hiking trails that I went… Read More Hiking the South Unit

Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 2

My second day at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park North Unit began with cold and clouds. I didn’t get any rain, which I was thankful for because of the muddy trail conditions. I looked out my tent and saw a lot of cloud cover, which I didn’t want, but I got up anyway and went… Read More Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 2

Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 1

I embarked on a week-long camping and hiking trip that would take me to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and then to Badlands National Park South Dakota. This was my big adventure trip of the year and I intended to enjoy a lot of nice hiking, solitude, and practice some landscape photography as… Read More Theodore Roosevelt National Park – Day 1

How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups

Happy Easter! When it’s Easter there are usually a lot wildflowers to be found and I can’t resist taking a few close-ups of the flowers when I am out hiking. Yesterday I came across a rather large patch of bluebonnets on my hike and that gave me the opportunity to shoot close-ups and experiment with… Read More How to Shoot Flower Close-Ups
