Travel photos (anything outside of home area of Tampa, St Petersburg)
While traveling through Great Smoky Mountains National Park there are endless opportunities to photograph small streams. It is difficult to go anywhere because as you round each corner you want to stop and photograph the next section of stream that you see. The stream shot tonight was captured off of […]
While waiting for the decision on if we would be able to take off for our hot air balloon ride I took a few pictures around the area. The two main things that caught my eye were the barn that I have already posted a picture of and this interesting […]
After shooting the sunrise and waiting for the right light to fall on the Lynn Cove Viaduct from the classic location I headed back up the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Tanawaha Trail. I read that this was a can’t miss trail and the beginning of it had some great […]

One of the other things my wife and I did on our vacation which neither of us had done before was go to a corn maze. New River Corn Maze was just a few miles from our cabin outside Boone, North Carolina. I am sure we are not really the […]
