It was my last afternoon in Yellowknife and it was cloudy, misty, and wet outside. I was thinking: “When I am ever going to be Yellowknife again? I need to get out and do something.” I found the Prelude Lake Natural Trail on the map and it was not too far away, promised a nice… Read More Slippery Hike at Prelude Lake
For each of my daughters’ graduation presents, I took them on a trip. With my oldest daughter, we went to Yellowstone National Park in 2019. My youngest daughter graduated in 2021 and we didn’t plan a trip because of pandemic concerns and because I was in the process of selling my house and buying another,… Read More Going Way Up North
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. When the weather starts “cooling down” like this, I start wanting to get out of… Read More Late Summer Sunset
I was at the beach for vacation and not really to go shooting, but I made time one morning for a sunrise shoot down where the dunes meet the beach. This was the only morning of my trip in which the eastern sky wasn’t stormy in the morning, so this was my best shot. I… Read More A Day at the Beach
I went on another summer afternoon hike at my favorite wildlife refuge, I didn’t have a particular plan other than to shoot some photos even if they weren’t good. The wildlife refuge is very dry this time of year, the wildflowers are gone, the creek isn’t flowing, and there are few people out there. I… Read More Silhouette or No Silhouette?
It’s been super hot since mid-June, which is basically what summer is here. I find the heat very demotivating when it comes to getting out hiking and shooting photos, but I had had enough demotivation and late Monday afternoon I went for a hike at the wildlife refuge. And as usual, I found that the… Read More 35mm and Hot
Stormy skies can be fun for landscape photography, but we don’t seem to get a lot of stormy skies here. On Saturday afternoon a line of dark clouds moved in to interrupt the clear blue skies, so I decided to head out to the wildlife refuge to see what I could do with the gloomy… Read More Stormy Skies at the Wildlife Refuge
It was Saturday morning and I was awake around 5:00AM; I hate to sleep late and waste the day. Anyway, I knew the sun would rise at about 6:30AM and it was a little cloudy so I grabbed my backpack and a mug of coffee and headed for the wildlife refuge to see if I… Read More Sunrise Over a Creek and Wildflowers
After a glorious sunrise, we traveled about the park seeing a few more overlooks and looking for more wildlife. I wasn’t happy with my photos from the first overlook and didn’t post any here. At another stop we made looking for wildlife, I became more interested in the way the road looked going off into… Read More Some Autumn Color in April
The third and final sunrise of my stay at Torres del Paine was the best of them all. It was another cold and windy morning again, but I didn’t mind that a bit once we got to the site. Our sunrise site for this morning was a rocky overlook across Lago Pehoe from the mountains.… Read More The Third Sunrise
