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

Reflections at the Lake

Sunday was a beautiful late summer day here in central Texas – the kind we often get in the middle of winter. The sky was spotless and there was very little wind, so I headed to Inks lake for some hiking and maybe some wildlife. Sundays the lake is generally full of people, so I… Read More Reflections at the Lake

My Best Photo of 2022

This time of year it seems that every photographer is obligated to review and select her or his best photo of the year. It is also nice to do to see if you spent your year well or wasted a bunch of time going out and taking lousy photos. My main gage of which photos… Read More My Best Photo of 2022

Hiking with Bison

On Monday morning I awoke in my frozen tent about half an hour before sunrise. I climbed out from under my pile of blankets, put on my coat, gloves, hat, boots; grabbed my camera backpack and headed up the South Prong Trail. I wasn’t sure what I was going to find, there were no clouds… Read More Hiking with Bison

Fiery Sky Over Inks Lake

The main point of this post is a beautiful sunset over Inks lake, but before the sun set there was some really nice golden light. I stood by the lake taking photos of a bunch of ducks that refused to swim in the right direction and then a big heron swooped in an landed on… Read More Fiery Sky Over Inks Lake

Sunrise Above the Clouds

As I mentioned in my previous post, on my last morning at Shenandoah I got up and checked out of the lodge early so that I could be somewhere for sunrise with time to take photos before I had to drive to the airport. My flight was at 1:30PM so I had plenty of time… Read More Sunrise Above the Clouds

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

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

A Little Less Heat

September is here and while it is still summer, the brutality of July and August are past and I have started to feel the urge to come out of the shade and shoot some photos. I don’t mind the heat so much, but the heat we had in July and early August made it kind… Read More A Little Less Heat

Should You Modify Your Environment For A Photo?

One question that I hear debated among the photography community, and that I debate with myself sometimes, is whether or not it is OK to modify a natural environment for a photographic composition. This could mean cleaning up a few leaves, removing some weeds or twigs that are in the way, or even removing branches… Read More Should You Modify Your Environment For A Photo?
