Mount Rainier from the Road

As you may have guessed from my previous post, I went to Mount Rainier National Park after hanging around in Seattle for a couple of days. I was on a trip with my three girls so I didn’t have any delusions about going out and spending all day hiking and taking beautiful photos. What photos… Read More Mount Rainier from the Road

Desert Bighorn Sheep

As we were leaving Carlsbad Caverns National Park, we saw some desert bighorn sheep from the park road. When I saw the bighorn sheep, I turned the car around and headed back up the road to a pull-out. I grabbed my camera and mounted the long-lens then headed back down the road so the bighorns… Read More Desert Bighorn Sheep

Photographing in Carlsbad Caverns

I went to New Mexico on a family vacation for a week and the main focus was not photography. I don’t have a lot to blog about from this trip, but I did have a good time. One of the first stops on my trip was Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It is one of the… Read More Photographing in Carlsbad Caverns

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

Stormy Badlands

I began the day with a plan to go to a place called Sheep Mountain in the more southern part of the park. I didn’t really know what to expect there but I had read good things. It involved driving out of the park, across the countryside, though a seemingly abandoned town, and then up… Read More Stormy Badlands

Badlands National Park

On Thursday I spend most of the day driving to Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It was not a direct route at all so I got to see a lot of farm land, but I eventually made it to the park. Badlands is a very scenic park with a lot of convenient overlooks from… Read More Badlands National Park

Badland Sunrise

I found an overlook in Theodore Roosevelt National Park that faced almost directly toward the sunrise and I arranged to be there a little before 5:00AM the next day to see it. I have no problem waking myself up for stuff like this as I get kind of excited and usually wake up before my… Read More Badland Sunrise

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

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
