Greetings from Everglades National Park
We left a cold Massachusetts in February for a reprieve from winter down to South Florida and the Everglades. On our way to Flamingo Point where we would have a tasty lunch including the best ever key-lime pie, my wife and I were utterly amazed by such a different world…

Greetings from Death Valley National Park
We drove from Las Vegas up to a pass in late April rising to 4,000 feet, and from there we got our first glimpse of Death Valley, a narrow winding white valley with wrinkled, elephant-skinned mounds rising here and there--"hills like white elephants" as Hemingway wrote about Spain. On the…

Greetings from Glacier National Park
It didn't take long to realize the freedom of the wilderness during my week-long stay at Big Creek. By the second day, a group of friends and I spontaneously decided to go fly-fishing in the river. We waded across fast flowing, freezing water to get to the small island, where…

Greetings from Mount Rainier National Park

Fell in love with old time mountain music at the Oconaluftee visitor center "Old Time Jam" held twice monthly. Wildlife encounters of black bear, elk, fox,…

Greetings from Shenandoah National Park
There were trails. Flattened gravel cutting through an otherwise steep sloping hill leading down into a lake. We followed the trails for a bit but the real adventure started when we crossed the road and river to get to the other side. On the other side, the trail was overgrown…

Greetings from Valley Forge National Historical Park
It was a Sunday morning, my best friend Jess and I decided to embark on an adventure outside of our small college town. I'm an avid hiker so I was excited, to say the least. This photo represents the good times we spent together on that Sunday afternoon, but also…
