This is the Naiad Country Brewery in Orland, Maine. This is the coolest little brewery I’ve ever been to and all three beers I tried there were great. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and enjoy a brewery with character. #Photography #NaiadBrewery #Maine #Beer

Here’s a shot of Sand Beach from Gorham Mountain in Acadia National Park. In the distance you can see Schoodic Peninsula. #Photography #Landscape #NationalParks #SandBeach #AcadiaNationalPark #Maine #Hiking

Northern range of Yellowstone in April. Could someone that knows please let me know where this is? I think it’s Hellroaring or Blacktail but I don’t remember. I took so many pics I lost track of what’s what. I really need to take notes #Photography #Landscape #NationalParks #Yellowstone

This is my hike in Indiana Dunes State Park yesterday. #Photography #Landscape #IndianaDunes #Hiking

Here’s a shot from this morning at Indiana Dunes State Park. This is on Trail 10. #Photography #Landscape #IndianaDunes #Hiking #Wetlands

I estimate I was roughly 400-500 yds from these wolves feeding on a bison carcass. #Photography #Wildlife #NationalParks #Yellowstone #Wolves

This moose came out of nowhere and caught me off guard. I didn’t have time to set up for a good picture but this one didn’t turn out too bad. #Photography #Wildlife #NationalParks #Yellowstone

This was my 2nd time hiking Katahdin. This is close to the upper limit of what my 64 yr old a** can handle! 😂 Abol Trail is awesome for those that like a good scramble. Took us 8 hours, mostly because I’m old and slow. #Hiking #Katahdin #BaxterStatePark #Maine #RockScramble

These two grizzlies were roughly 1.25 miles away at Slough Creek in Yellowstone. I was using a 200-400 zoom lens, zoomed in all the way. I was hand holding the camera so impossible to hold steady. #Photography #Wildlife #NationalParks #Yellowstone

Here’s a mama grizzly and her two “babies”. This was taken near sunset, looking into the sun, and the bears were on a shaded, back lit hillside. I could barely see them. All I could see was movement in shadows roughly 100 yds away. #Photography #Wildlife #Yellowstone #NationalParks

It was a nice clear morning this morning. This is looking across Lake Michigan from Indiana Dunes State Park at Chicago skyline. #Photography #IndianaDunes #LakeMichigan #Chicago

Another shot at Yellowstone in late April. This is the far northeast corner of the park. It was winter in the NE corner. In Lamar Valley it was spring. Crazy #Photography #NationalParks #Yellowstone #Landscape

Taken on a hike this morning at Indiana Dunes State Park. #IndianaDunes #3DunesChallenge

This is Slough Creek in Yellowstone. Grizzlies and wolves were visible here almost everyday. There is a wolf den on one of those hillsides but you really need a scope to see it. Those hillsides are 1-1.5 miles away. #NationalParks #Yellowstone #SloughCreek

Soda Butte Creek area in Yellowstone #NationalParks #Yellowstone

This is Lamar Valley. For whatever reason I just can’t get a good pic of Lamar. I’ve taken quite a few on different days and I don’t like any of them. Oh well, I’ll try again next year. This is probably the best one I’ve taken. #Photography #NationalParks #Yellowstone #Landscape #LamarValley

There are certainly worse places to spend time than Yellowstone! #Photography #Landscape #NationalParks #Yellowstone

I was the only soul as far as the eye can see this morning on Lake Michigan. Gotta love it! #IndianaDunes #LakeMichigan

If you visit Indiana Dunes National Park you should definitely check out the state park. I personally like the state park better. YMMV This pic was taken on the 3 Dunes Challenge hike at Indiana Dunes State Park. #Photography #Hiking #IndianaDunesStatePark #NationalParks.

I took this while on a walk yesterday. It’s nothing special. I just thought it looked cool. The red really stood out from all the wintery browns and white snow. Can’t see the snow in the pic though. #Photography

I’ve never seen a photo of Grand Canyon of Yellowstone that looks real to me, including this one I took. They always look like paintings to my eye rather than photos. I took this while hiking north rim trail. #Photography#NationalParks #Yellowstone#Landscape #Waterfalls#Hiking
