Webster defines expedition in the following way: noun a journey or excursion undertaken for a specific purpose. I don’t quibble with that definition, but the word seems to carry more meaning as well. That additional meaning is why auto manufacturers and movie makers have included the word in their products. There is a sense ofContinue reading “Expeditions”

Embracing Change
My footfalls were quiet on the moisture laden grass. There was just enough light so I was comfortable walking through the mist and finding my way. The sun broke over the horizon fully and the mist covered marsh I was standing in suddenly began to come alive. In the part of the world where IContinue reading “Embracing Change”
Moments
Since the dawn of photography, photographs have been glimpses of people, places, animals and events…moments in time captured in a way that seems to appeal to the human psyche. As I set forth with a camera in hand I usually have several goals in mind. Among them capturing beauty is certainly one. Eliciting emotion onContinue reading “Moments”
On Adventures
Most adventures begin with a hero pondering life or in an epic clash with some antagonist. There are a few that begin with a hero at rest in a tranquil environment experiencing life as it should be only to be interrupted by a damsel in distress or an offer he can’t refuse.

It’s late in the season to hike in the Saint Marks Wildlife Refuge. Not because a person on a hike might not be able to see all kinds of wonderfulContinue reading “North Florida Safari”
Adventure Is Out There
Webster defines adventure in the following ways: a an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks or b the encountering of risks. Sometimes we forget how small our world has become. It’s healthy for us to remind ourselves that the world is vastly larger than the space we occupy in our banal, day to dayContinue reading “Adventure Is Out There”
Getting Out There
Shortly after the last blog dropped, I bumped into an old friend while traipsing about looking for subjects for my camera. The subject of this blog is in part as a result of that conversation, and in part as a result of feedback that I got as a result of the previous blog. Birding andContinue reading “Getting Out There”
