Best Viewed in Landscape Orientation In the morning, there was frost and ice on our sleeping bags and on the inside of the tent This photo was taken on the second longest hike of my life. Matt and I did the triple Mount Bond summit hike. This involves going up Bondcliff, Mount Bond, and West […]
WHITE-TAILED DEER – No Conservation Status: LEAST CONCERN There are extensive grasses in the park, but in the winter, they are golden in color. I took this photo of a sunset at Green Mountain Park while out for a hike with Landon, my dog, one Wednesday afternoon in January. Green Mountain Park is found in […]
We saw the sunrise at Haleakala on Jill’s birthday while on our honeymoon! The sunrise at Haleakalā National Park is something special. Not only was it a journey to see the sunrise, but it was also my wife’s birthday on our honeymoon! Talk about a special day! We got up bright and early–I believe it […]
