Along the way in Colorado (2022) was the amazing Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

Four years ago, I traveled to Colorado on a solo trip to photograph the four National Parks. I did some other venues which included a second trip to Maroon Bellls near Aspen. Probably the most photographed spot in Colorado. Camped in the park and rose early before dawn. What you see is the reverse Sunrise (looking West) against the clouds. What you don't see is a pack of about 30 other photographers all set up on Tripods near me! We were all treated to a perfect photo day.

Fall is in the Air! This time four years ago, Fall was just beginning to show off its colors in Colorado, which was very late for the area. Rocky Mountain National Park is in my top 5 with its wildlife and diversity, especially during the Fall Elk Rut.

I took this photo in Florida some time ago. Did not know them and they were not aware I was there. Thought this was a very natural and candid view of their marvel of life!

Paddled Robertson Millpond Preserve just west of Raleigh today, 9-15-2026 for the Ascend si10 kayak a maiden voyage. The water levels were extremely low and paddle vaults were necessary throughout the 1.15 mile trail. Beautiful day!!!

The millpond is part of Buffalo Creek, named for the herds of buffalo once seen watering there. Native Americans in the region would have likely lived and hunted along the creek.

The dam, part earthen and part masonry, dates to the 1820s and is still in place. The mill was removed in the mid-1970s. The dam and remaining foundation of the mill have been designated historic landmarks.

In the 1820s, William Avera operated a 600-acre farm and gristmill with his wife and two children. The Avera family likely built the dam and the mill.

Land sales in 1887 and 1914 led to the Robertson family ownership, for which the road and pond are named. The Robertson family farmed the land west of the pond and probably also operated the mill until the 1940s.

In 1960, the Charles Robertson estate was divided into 11 tracts for surviving heirs. The millpond was inherited by Nettie Robertson Fowler, whose family operated a boathouse on the pond in the 1960s, renting wooden boats for fishing.
