Deep into the woods I came upon an train parked on the tracks. We have heard them off in the distance, the sound of their whistles as they roar through the towns. Stopped at rail crossings as we wait impatiently to move forward, but have you ever been up close? One afternoon I stumbled…

Sights of Fall
The harvest is ending and the transition to winter has begun. The rains of the summer have not diminished the abundance of color that comes with the season changes. It is time for warm cider, apple pies and fireplaces. The harvest of pumpkins are abundant this year and a time of transition to cooler…
Hills of Chester County
Being out in nature rejuvenates my soul and calms the mind. Some of the fields have been harvested and set aside for pickup. On ward and up ward as the trail disappeared into the woods. Off in the distance, deer watched as we passed. We climbed the switchbacks and came to the clearing…
Concrete Jungle
On a recent weekend adventure, I had the pleasure of touring downtown Houston TX. The expansive skyline was extensive. I lived there a lifetime ago and did not have the pleasure of seeing the city. My life was very different then and priorities were focused on a small radius of home. Though…

Exposed Ridge Line
I have always had a loving relationship with rocks. I thought I knew what I was getting into when I said yes to a hiking adventure, but I was wrong! The exhilaration of climb was followed by a daunting decent from 6200 feet. The views were breath taking, the air was clean and crisp,…
Sunday July 8th
I can’t remember a day that I was so pissed off at life. Mad to be out in the middle of nowhere. Frustrated cause my feet were on fire and toes felt like they were going to fall off. I was an absolute basket case full of tears, my anxiety, my depression, my self-doubt, all…
