Delicate white lines traced on the leaf This photo was from a day of hiking that Jill and I did out at Brown County State Park. The delicate white lines that were traced on this plant as well as a few nearby caught my eye, and I leaned in for a close up. I had […]
I took this photo at Spring Mill State Park in Indiana. This bee took the time to hang out with me for a photo shoot in early July. I believe it is a Common Eastern Bumble Bee which is the most commonly seen bumble bee in North America. This bee species is an excellent pollinator […]
This hike was a constant uphill grade It took a twelve mile out-and-back hike to get this view, but it was well worth it. Jill and I made our way up Mount Cammerer via the Low Gap and Appalachian Trails. This hike was a constant uphill grade from miles 1 to 6. Although unrelenting, it […]
Crispness, quiet, and low lighting add to the joy of the hike Waking up early to be one of the first people on the trail is always exhilarating to me. The crispness of the morning air, the quiet of the sleepy world, and the low lighting of the dawn all add to the joy of […]

I…tried to smash up the freshly formed ice Eagle Creek Park has always had a special place in my heart. I grew up exploring the woods there with my brother, Nick. We would spend hours upon hours hiking through the trails. In the winter we would go to the park to go sledding and also […]
