After a long, dark and wet winter, we were finally able to wander around outside. Sandy and I try, most weekends, to take at least one day to hike in the mountains to find interesting locations to capture some images. This Spring, with the constant rain, we haven’t gotten into the mountains as often as we want, with the snow levels still too high …

We made a deal with ourselves – the ‘No Matter What’ deal. Most weekends, when it’s actually time to load our packs and get in the car, we just flat out don’t want to. So, we developed this ‘No Matter What’ deal in which we just do it – the whole Nike thing – Just Do It. And inevitably (95%) of the time, we are so happy we did, usually having a great time and capturing some amazing images that would not have happened if were still on the couch wondering what to do with the weekend.

So, here are a few recent images – no mountain hikes yet, but lowland discoveries in our own backyard. Hope  you like them and if so, please ‘Share’ with your friends and family. Thanks!
