This is My Best Side
Having a bit of fun with birds. They love to turn their backs towards you to taunt you. Silly birds.
Ruffed Grouse
It’s been such a busy two weeks and it’s good to be back to share some of my adventures. Each year I travel to Shenandoah National Park with the Mountain Club of Maryland. Our true destination is to hike up Old Rag Mountain. An arduous nine-mile hike that […]
Island Deer in Beaufort County
There are some darling mascots along the golf course and roadways of Fripp Island, South Carolina. Island Deer are a smaller variety of our common White-tailed deer and are protected in gated communities like Fripp Island. But with that protection also brings challenges.

A Little Bat
I’ve seen them fly overhead at dusk, zipping around catching bugs for dinner. But I’ve never been able to see a bat close up. There have been some close encounters of bats in Costa Rica at Selva Verde Lodge where there are several species that fly in and […]
All Eyes
All eyes were on me today. I didn’t matter where I went, nor who it was. They were watching me. I wondered what I did to cause them to look at me the way they did. Was it the way I walked, or was it the color of […]
Pokemon at the Maryland Zoo
Call me shameless, but what can I say? I’m an American. And as an American, I love games, and I love to explore. I love games that make me explore. If you haven’t caught the worldwide bug already, let me introduce you to the new game introduced by […]
