Keep Climbing in 2017

This steep set of stairs on the high and narrow trail in Pinnacles National Park is a good reminder to keep on climbing up and up in the new year!

Keep Climbing in 2017


Welcome to 2017!

I started off the new year with a great hike at a place that is close to home but new to me, Pinnacles National Park. An afternoon hike led us from green valleys to high peaks, through talus caves and right over these rock pinnacles where it looked like there couldn’t possibly be a trail at all. A great adventure to start a new year!

Welcome to 2017!


From the High Line

The High Line in New York City is a great way to take a break from the city. While walking above it all you get to appreciate the pace of everyone moving below.

Manhattan Sunset

My original plan was to go to the top of Rockefeller Center to catch the sunset. Then it started raining, and then it started pouring. I was sure sunset was not going to happen. When the storm cleared right before sunset we were with our gracious hosts on Roosevelt Island and rushed to the roof. The sunset was super bright, and the leftover storm clouds were dramatic. Since it was just a few days past Manhattanhenge, where the direction of the sunset lines up with the corridors of the city, I was able to get the sun between two buildings right before it disappeared. Sometimes missed plans work out after all.

Bighorn Sheep

I have a history of getting up close and personal with wildlife on what are supposed to be ski trips. When life doesn’t give you fresh snow you make the most of it and take wildlife photos! This bighorn sheep was hanging out above the Rio Grande on the rocks along the trail just waiting for us. He checked us out for awhile before making his way down the steep edge of the river out of sight.

NYC in the Sun

The sun was harsh but the city was beautiful. Black and white was the only way to properly capture the very edge of the city.

NYC in the Spring

New York is fantastic in the spring. I was lucky enough to be there when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom on Roosevelt Island, offering a colorful border to the Manhattan skyline.

New York, New York

A city that is always on the move, day and night.

Old Surrounded by New

Old South Meeting House in Boston. One of the great things about Boston is its history, like this old hall. There is also a lot of new architecture too, and there is no separating them.


Old and New

When I was walking home from dinner I came across an old wall and fence of a building that looked like it was being torn down.  I was able to contrast this with some new buildings in the background and the night sky.
