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…

Hiking the Gorge
At the height of fall, the leaves were displaying their beauty before the fall winds took them away. I was given an address to an amazing hiking location to be explored. I would describe it as magical. The mixture of trails, water and rocks are to be explored. As I ventured forward, the…
Season of Change
After many weekends lost to rain, it was a glorious day to set out on an adventure through the fields of Chester County. With my trusty pup by my side we set out to explore! The weather was crisp and full of fresh smells that kept Maggie’s nose occupied as we ventured forward. Some…
Mt Washington
I started hiking a few years ago and soon I had the camera in hand and wanted to capture the beauty that I saw when I was out in nature. I had a few friends state, if you ever get an opportunity to hike to Mt Washington take it! It was mentioned once, and…
Lake of the Clouds
I started my trek to the Lake of the Clouds out of Crawford Notch. We transcended Mt. Webster and its cliffs. My ribs bounced off a few of them and my belly was grateful for the connection. With the 20 lbs pack on my back the climb continued to Mt. Jackson We continued…
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…
Fall @ the lake
The beauty of nature surrounds us, we just need to take the time to breathe and take it in. There is a magical place not far from home that has a balance of water, trails and tranquility that soothes my soul. On a glorious morning in mid-October, the sun is peaking through…
Half of the Whole
My hiking adventures have taken me to the mountains, the coast and lots of little nooks and crannies in-between. The camera in hand captures a lot of special things that I miss on first blush. This was caught along the coast of Maryland when visiting a lighthouse. I believe we all have a…
Balance
There are miles of rails between the east and the west. The beauty of this is that every inch, yard and mile of this wondrous system of rails is in balance. The integrity remains strong and unyielding. The human system starts out that way and over time areas of weakness arise, we have to…
Obstacles on the Path
Life has a funny way of showing up and keeping it real. There are no road maps, there are no instruction manuals to show us the way to go as we venture forward. Unlike hiking, there are clues along the way to keep you on the path. Life offers us many obstacles and how we…
Pinnacle
An afternoon adventure opened up to glorious beauty. I am afraid of heights, I don’t embrace them, I don’t put myself in places that my sense of self would be compromised. Nature speaks to me, it calms me and opening up my eyes to what life has to offer. I can think clearer and leave…
