Vernal Fall – Hiking to Escape
Recently I went on a quick two-day trip to Yosemite National Park. I had not been inside the park before even though I have passed by the area many times on the way to Northern California. We got up early in the morning and drove from San Diego to Yosemite to hit the Mist Trail […]
MoreEscape to Maui – Day 3 – The Road to Hana
Today’s goal was to head out on the Road to Hana and explore waterfalls. Waking up early is a must because the road is dangerously narrow most of the way and the pullouts along the road have few parking spots that fill up fast. Also make sure to take along a swimsuit and towel for […]
MoreHappy Weekend Everyone!
Everyone have a lovely weekend! I will be exploring the things I have learned from week one on Nomadic Matt’s online photo course by taking some pictures. May this inspirational quote from Albert Einstein carry you through the weekend as it will me… “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
MoreLearning to Get Off Auto
I have always used cameras that are set to “Auto” or those without the ability to make setting adjustments. Although some of my “Auto” pictures look great to me, I decided it was time I learned to get the most from my digital camera and use the numerous available settings on a dSLR. So this […]
MoreFranklin, North Carolina
Franklin is a small town in Macon County, North Carolina just about fifteen miles north of the Georgia/North Carolina State line. The town sits within the Nantahala National Forest and is surrounded by many beautiful waterfalls and hikes. Franklin is also where my grandma lives. I love visiting her as it is a great escape […]
MoreMultnomah Falls, Oregon
I travelled to Oregon last year in search of great American waterfalls. It’s not hard to find beautiful waterfalls throughout the Pacific Northwest but the one I really wanted to see was Multnomah Falls. Once I arrived at the visitors center I walked to see the Falls and take pictures of it and the historic […]
MoreBig Sur, California
Big Sur is one of the most beautiful areas along the California coastline. I have been there many times throughout my life and the wonder of this place never ceases to impress me. My grandpa was a camp host at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park when I was only two years old. My parents would […]
MoreDevil’s Pool, Victoria Falls
When I found out my trip to South Africa would include a quick stop at Victoria Falls, I started looking for an adventure to do there. Of course I knew I would be seeing the largest flowing waterfall in the world but I wanted to do something in addition to seeing the falls. There are many […]
MoreSelfoss and Dettifoss Waterfalls, Northeast Iceland
I am a waterfall junkie. When I see pictures of a beautiful waterfall I will do my best to search it out. This year I planned a trip to Iceland with four of my friends. We spent the week traveling throughout Iceland to see as many outdoor escapes as we could fit into each day. […]
