A Walk On Top of the World

May 25, 2017May 15, 2020

This photograph is from the trail at Mugu Peak near Oxnard, California. I took the day to go for a hike here starting at the Pacific Coast Highway and right up to Mugu Peak. This was the trail after the peak and as I descended down into La Jolla Valley.

May 10, 2017May 15, 2020

While visiting the Ventura Pier, a small thunderstorm wandered by. Here’s a view looking east toward the pier shortly after. This was a "long exposure" using the Sony "Smooth Reflection" camera app that combines 48 photos.

Winter’s Last Days on The Oak Ridges Trail

April 9, 2017May 15, 2020

Today I started hiking the Oak Ridges Trail from the west terminus. An early Spring snowstorm has dusted the area with snow leading to this scene. We had an interesting day hiking in the snow while paring down to t-shirts in the warm weather.

Big McCoy Evening Campfire I

A view of our campfire on Big McCoy Island at night. As tinder is scarce on the actual island, we packed our firewood in on the back of our kayaks from a local supplier near Dillon Marina.

Artificial Sunset

Looking back toward Parry Sound from Big McCoy Island on Georgian Bay. The "sunset" is actually the city lights from Parry Sound itself.

Camping on Big McCoy Island

September 27, 2016May 15, 2020

This weekend was a first for me. With friends, I took a kayak out on an overnight backcountry trip. The trip took us to "Big McCoy Island" on Georgian Bay – much further out into big water than I would ever dare to take my canoe. Here’s one of the tents in our group framed agains the Milky Way and the lights from Parry Sound.

McIntosh Marsh / Grassy Bay

August 5, 2016May 15, 2020

After the portage east out of McIntosh Lake we encountered this calm green utopia. Well, it was a paddling utopia because we had a tail wind and no bugs. Otherwise it would be paddling hell! I’m standing on a beaver dam liftover for this photo looking eastward.
