When I was in Cairngorms hiking, I had a plan each day for where I wanted to be when the sun either rose or set. That didn’t always work out as you can tell if you read my previous blog post about Craigellachie. Having never been there before, I mainly relied on research for this… Read More Sunset and Sunrise Over Lochs
I did a lot of hikes in the Cairngorms. I generally picked a morning hike around sunrise and a late afternoon hike before sunset. During the middle of the day, I generally did something easy. With this blog I am writing about two hikes on one particular day. My morning goal was to hike to… Read More Craigellachie and Creag Bheag
Just a sunset photo or two. There were high clouds Monday, so I went out to the (Balcones Canyonlands) wildlife refuge to shoot from a spot I hadn’t tried. My idea was to get as much of the hiking trail in the landscape as possible as well as some short trees or shrubs that were… Read More A Hike and a Sunset
Sunday afternoon was the last official Sunday afternoon of summer and it was really nice for a change. The edge finally came off the heat about a week before and the high temp was only in the mid 90s F.

Pedernales Falls State Park is west of… Read More Pedernales Falls State Park
I have long wanted to go kayaking around one of the bays between the barrier islands and the Texas mainland. I have thought about planning a trip down to the coast for this multiple times and last weekend I just did it. I went to Padre Island National Seashore which is just south of Corpus… Read More Camping and Kayaking on Padre Island
I went for a nice hike on a cool Sunday afternoon at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge – Warbler Vista. I hung around an overlook to watch the sunset and then hiked back to my car in the dark. Not much else to say. Hope you enjoy the photos.
Enchanted Rock is an outdoor attraction in central Texas with a state park built around it. Even though it is quite isolated out in the hill country, it is a very busy park and you should probably get reservations online a few days in advance if you want to go experience it as they limit… Read More Enchanted Rock Reflected
Thursday evening there was finally a cloud or two in the sky and I thought I might get some nice photos so I went hiking at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I initially hiked up the Rimrock trail to some overlooks to see what the view looked like, but I didn’t find it very compelling… Read More Sunset Photos – No Sky Replacement
