This past Tuesday, Barbara and I visited the Three Sisters Springs Wildlife Refuge on the Crystal River in Kings Bay, Florida. Three years ago we visited here in search on manatees, but unfortunately, we didn’t see any. During this visit we hit the jackpot. The guide at the refuge indicated that there were more thanContinue reading “Three Sisters Springs”

McIntosh Lake
We arrived at this RV park yesterday and after setting up, Ellie and I took a short hike to look around. This RV park only has 22 RV spaces, but it has all of the amenities you would want. It also has a lake, a wonderful view, and some critters who would actually allow meContinue reading “McIntosh Lake”
The Milky Way
In July of 2023, Barbara, Toby and I were staying at the Blue Mesa RV Park with our friends Keith and Janice, outside of Gunnison, Colorado. One night I got up early and attempted to take photos of the Milky Way. I like the way these photos turned out, especially since this was my firstContinue reading “The Milky Way”
Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (Encore)
Last evening I walked down to the shore of Lake Gaston in hopes of viewing and photographing the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet one more time before it disappears.

As I waited for the comet to make its anticipated appearance, I took some photos of the sunset, which IContinue reading “Tsuchinshan-ATLAS”

So yesterday Barbara, Ellie and I visited the nearby Caledon State Park. Caledon State Park is located along the shore of the Potomac River, just up stream fromContinue reading “Caledon State Park”
Harvest Moon
Today it is raining lightly, so we’re relaxing and staying inside. I’m baking some bread and thought while the trailer fills with the smell of bread baking, I would post some photos of the harvest moon that we recently had. For us, this full moon came up over Patten Pond, Maine. I took my cameraContinue reading “Harvest Moon”

At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is the highest peak onContinue reading “Acadia National Park”
