What Not to do at the Great Sand Dunes

Great Sand Dunes National Park is a park that features massive sand dunes at the base of a mountain range in Colorado. It is kind of a remote park in Colorado and the closest town that offers much of anything is Alamosa, which is more than 30 miles away. There is a lodge at the… Read More What Not to do at the Great Sand Dunes

Shooting a Panorama of the Great Sand Dunes

My daughter and I have been on a road trip north from Texas to Montana. One of the stops on our way was the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. When the need for our road trip arose, I took the opportunity to cross this national park off of my list of parks as… Read More Shooting a Panorama of the Great Sand Dunes

Mission Concepción

The northern-most of the four mission of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is Mission Concepción. This mission seems to be the smallest of the four and there were very few people there when I visited, but it does have the most intact surviving church from the 18th century and according to the National Park… Read More Mission Concepción

Mission San Jose

At the midpoint of the string of 5 historic missions in San Antonio is Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo. In 1720, the governor of Coahuila and Texas, the Marques de San Miguel de Aguayo authorized and funded the mission and a Franciscan Father named Antonio Margil de Jesus founded it near the… Read More Mission San Jose

Mission San Juan Capistrano

The second mission that I visited on my day-trip to San Antonio Missions National Historical Park was Mission San Juan. This mission is across the river and not far from Mission Espada which I wrote about last week. The mission was originally founded in 1716 by Franciscans as Mission San Jose de los Nazonis near… Read More Mission San Juan Capistrano

Mission Espada

Inspired by Chasing Unicorns I recently visited San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in San Antonio. There are five Spanish missions in San Antonio and the National Historical Park encompasses the four you’ve probably never heard of. I visited these four on a day trip recently and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t visit the… Read More Mission Espada

Enchanted Rock Reflected

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

Mule Ears of Big Bend

One of my thoughts going out to Big Bend was catching sunrise over the Mule Ears. I didn’t really have a great plan for a vantage point though. There is an overlook at the Mule Ears trailhead, but I figured that the sun would rise too far south in the sky from this point. While… Read More Mule Ears of Big Bend

A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes

On my recent trip to Big Bend I was hoping to get to some trails that I hadn’t been on before. One of the trails on my list was hiking on the Oak Springs trail which connects to a couple of potential waterfalls. I had visions of a glorious waterfall image in the late afternoon,… Read More A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes

Moonlit Mountains

Often times a bright moon at night is unwanted by photographers that want to capture the night sky as the moonlight overwhelms most of the star light in the sky. But one evening years ago while camping at Guadalupe Mountains National Park during a full moon, I really enjoyed seeing the mountains lit only by… Read More Moonlit Mountains
