This is a very fun, little hike that is simply beautiful. You feel like you need a jacket in September in the parking area but by the time you are on the top, you are warm. We met people from Asheville and other places and talked—even in this time of pandemic there was joy. We [...]
On top of Yonah Mountain in Georgia. Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I had this really crazy dream where I was running—not running away from something but running toward something—fast. I wasn't just running; I was competing. I was an elite athlete—strong, sure footed, and brave. Then came my cancer diagnosis and operation. I [...]
A few weeks ago, Pat and I discovered this little field of Asters in North Carolina. At the time, I refused to photograph it because I know that Asters are Anne's favorite. We were able to revisit the area recently, and this time Anne came along. (Smile) It's located in the Standing Indian Gap area—on [...]
At last a tree hugger! It seems more important (at this moment) to write more about the tree in the Joyce Kilmer Forest than it does to give directions to the park, or talk about the path in, up, and back out. My only admonishment would be: go! We went several years ago and so [...]
The mouth of the Huron River on Lake Erie was one of the first ports of Ohio to be settled. As early as 1749, a French trading post operated from this port, but it did not survive the Revolutionary War. We were there to enjoy it for a day with family and friends. I love [...]
I posted these photos on Facebook but wanted to also put them on my website just to keep everything archived. I think this angle is one of my favorites of what I'm now calling Denny's corner. We always ended up at this one place in the late evenings near sunset. This, of course, is a [...]
I knew the author of the guide book Waterfall Hikes of Upstate South Carolina said this was an easy trail but my hope was for a little longer and steeper than what we experienced. The stream that runs beside the trail is beautiful and reminds me more of being close to the Chattooga River than [...]
I love photographing this little Amish school house at sunset. Best friends and like-family members Joy and Denny took me there years ago and every time I visit Mercer County in western PA. I'll be back there soon. It is the one place that reminds me of them the most. Notice the buggy wheel marks [...]
