In 2008 a friend and I were camping at Tuckahoe State Park here on the eastern shore of Maryland. By a stroke of good luck, we happened to be there on a day when “Scales & Tales” was being offered. Scales and Tales is an environmental education program provided by the Maryland Department of Natural … More Oh, The Owls…
I mentioned in my previous post about Mammoth Cave that the park’s web site did NOT do it justice. I had visited, planning on enjoying caves and little else, but this is what I found instead…
Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia. Just a bit of beach zen to tide you over…
THURSDAY I found my way over to Rocky Mountain National Park for the day. I wandered around and spent some time watching and photographing the elk. About a half hour before I was set to depart for Boulder, I ran into my pal, Johnny, who has been organizing the photo meet-up for the two weekends … More Days 22, 23, 24, 25: Altitude, Longetitude, Attitude, Gratitude
I secured a campsite at the Colter Bay campground last night, then wandered aimlessly for a bit, stopping for photographs as the mood struck me and kept an eye out for a place to set up at sunset. I found what I thought was the perfect place during my drive, but when I went there … More Day 16: The Tetons Cooperate
The contrast between Yellowstone in spring and Yellowstone in fall is vast. In spring, the wildlife are everywhere- Grizzly, Black Bear, Wolves, Coyote, Fox, Bison, Elk, Mule Deer, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Pronghorn and all their young. In the fall my photography has to focus on the landscapes. The wildlife are still here, but they arent … More Day 15: Wildlife and On To The Tetons
AFTER finishing up my blog updates and answering emails at Tumbleweed, I went in search of wildlife and a campsite. A group of Pronghorn cooperated for a time, as did a herd of bison. The sky provided and more interesting scape than it had last week, so I stopped to take some panoramic photographs as … More Day 14, Part 2
We were a little lazy getting up in the morning, but since we were only going around the corner to photograph the sunrise, it worked out for us. We had planned to photograph the sunrise over the mountains from the road, but we lucked out when we pulled off the road and found that there … More Day 13: Last morning in Glacier…
In the morning we photographed Saint Mary Lake near our campsite. We finally had some nice clouds to work with rather than the haze of the previous days, and a bit more morning color. Standing there, I could turn in any direction and meet another beautiful scape. I did take a very short video with my phone … More Day 12: Many Glaciers
We decided it was time to explore the other side of the park, so began our day by taking the Going To The Sun Highway to The Loop for the sunrise. Sunrise was a little quiet for us, giving us little alpine glow and more haze than we wanted. Photography wise it may have been … More Day 11: The East Side of Glacier NP
