The sap was the manifestation of the heat in the air. I took this photo while on a summer hike with my fiancée. It was a blistering hot day, about 93 degrees with a real feel just shy of or over 100 degrees. We were hiking on the Youngs Creek Trail in the Hoosier National […]
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 […]
Hiking along that ridge, there were drops of 500′ to 2,000′ This photo was taken along the ridge line heading west from the summit of Mount Evans. I ventured out onto this trail after spending time on the peak of Evans. From the peak you can see that there is a narrow ridge that leads […]
On a clear day, you can’t beat the views The past three years I have been working through the peaks in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, not far from where I live.

During our hike, we ended up at this remote pond This photo was taken at October Mountain State Forest, located in the westernmost part of Massachusetts, in an area they call the Berkshires. A couple years ago, Ben and I teamed up for a weekend camp and hike here. During our hike, we ended up […]
The sky had a wild orange glow A few years ago, I was diving about five miles off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. After we surfaced from our dive, we looked up and saw this. Wildfires in the Everglades National Park had sent thick smoke over the entire area. The sky had a wild […]
You only have a couple minutes of perfect lighting It’s always nice when you can feature a photo from where you live. This photo was taken in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. I’ve lived here for 2 years and I can’t get enough of the sunsets. The area in this photo is a part of Hampton […]
Some sunsets you will never capture in a photo This photo was taken on Blackwater Sound just off Key Largo, Florida. This is my favorite area to watch sunsets. On this particular night we got some wild “cotton candy” colors during the sunset. The reflection of the colors off the calm bay really takes it […]
