I went to hang out on the beach during spring break. I wasn’t there to shoot photos but I brought a camera just in case. March is a little early in the year to go to the beach, but on the coast of Texas spring comes early. The first day I was there it was… Read More The Beach
As I mentioned in the previous post, Big Bend Ranch State Park is the largest state park in Texas and while some of it is accessible from the scenic state highway that runs along the Rio Grande, much of the park is a bit harder to get to. I had previously been to the trails… Read More From Overlook to Overlook
I have always wanted to go camping and hiking in the interior of Big Bend Ranch State Park in west Texas.

After visiting Garner State Park in the rain, the next day I went out to Seminole Canyon State Park and Historic Site. Seminole Canyon is on the Rio Grande and is another Texas state park I had never visited; Texas has soooo many state parks. I love the Rio Grande area for hiking and photography,… Read More Hiking Along the Rio Grande
As I mentioned previously, I took some time off to go hiking at some state parks in south Texas. I did this in November for the milder weather as some of these parks are too brutal for me in the summer months. I had visions of beautiful, mild partly cloudy days hiking along the ridges… Read More A Rainy Climb at Garner State Park

As you might have read in my previous blog post, I went on a trip with my daughter to see the northern lights near Yellowknife Canada. I booked a 4 night stay in Yellowknife that would give us the opportunity to see the aurora on Sunday night through Wednesday night as I had no idea… Read More Aurora
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
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
My last stop in Patagonia was Punta Arenas in Chile. After a quick flight across the strait the afternoon before, we checked in to a nice old hotel and I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the Strait of Magellan. At breakfast I could see the sky developing and went to the balcony on… Read More Punta Arenas
