It is difficult to photograph in the Grand Tetons National Park and not have the Tetons Range in your photographs, and this trip was no different. The first photograph was kind of by chance. I was driving around trying to find something to photograph, it was getting late, and this…
Yellowstone 2023
Talking about Yellowstone, one thinks of the Old Faithful geyser, but The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River is perhaps the most interesting feature and after all, the park is named for it. Yellowstone National Park is known for its geysers and its wildlife, and it is most interesting to…
Frozen on the Beach
Weathering Texas’ Big Breeze on the Beach in Bolivar Peninsula Near Galveston It was quite by an accident that I ended up weathering the worst winter storm to hit Texas in some 100 years. I was camping on the Bolivar Peninsula right by the ocean. It is very close to…
Mississippi, Alabama and the Deep South, Gulf Coast, Cheaha SP and Sipsey Wilderness
Traveling along the beautiful Gulf Coast one finds long sandy beaches, palm trees, hotels, casinos, marinas and fishing piers. There’s something for everyone! This image was taken near Biloxi, Mississippi. I didn’t realize Mississippi allows gambling, but apparently it does. Most of the long piers I saw along this coastline…

Big Bend National Park, Texas
While most visitors are attracted to Chisos Basin and the mountains, I found the river and desert equally attractive.
Guadalupe Mountains National Park
There is significant geology to this park, but also many wonderful hiking trails. The highlight is Guadalupe Peak, the highest point of Texas. I was struck by the high number of backcountry hiking only campgrounds, which suggests there are many takers. There were even a few backpackers on the day…
Saguaro National Park, Tucson, Arizona
Houses in the Tucson area are built right up to the park boundary, but still, it feels quite remote when visiting. Despite it being a desert, the vegetation is quite tall which blocks the view of the city, for the most part. Of course the most remarkable feature is the…
Yellowstone 2020
Yellowstone National Park, the land of thermal springs and geysers. I found it particularly challenging to photograph the geysers. They are impressive to watch in person but lose perspective in a flat photograph. Thermals are a little easier. And of course, if talking about Yellowstone National Park, how can one…
