Out in Nature
 
I really love the geological and biological diversity of the United States (particularly the west) and being outside with my camera.  I’ve been too a great many interesting and beautiful places here in the USA and included some photos here to share with you.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from various outdoor adventures, ranging from camping in central PA to relaxation in the Cascades, Rockies, Southwest, Michigan lakeshore, and Hawaii.
