I found some more lupines in Sandwich this past weekend - they're maybe not as rare around the Cape as I thought they were! I also found this tiny baby turtle marching through the grass.

Six years ago, I saw one of the most impressive sunsets at Fort Hill in . A rainstorm cleared out right at sunset leaving behind a rainbow in front of the colorful storm clouds and the huge bloom of lupines. The only downside was the 10+ ticks that tried to hitch a ride home with me after sunset ended.

Summer hiking season is almost upon us! In this photo, you can see Lonesome Lake glinting in the last light of the day as Franconia Ridge glows pink in the distance.

Every year I seem to forget that the beach roses bloom in late May and early June and I find myself scrambling to try and go take a photo. I've got a location in mind for this week so hopefully the weather cooperates. This photo was taken at Dowses Beach a few years back on a stormy evening.

There's a few spots on the Cape where you can find lupines blooming in late spring. I took a short birthday hike in Sandwich to check out one of those spots this morning. It was a beautiful day and the flowers were buzzing with bees.

Spring means waterfall season assuming we (hopefully) get a reasonable amount of rain. I took this photo at Sabbaday Falls in June a bunch of years ago. It's not the classic view of Sabbaday Falls but I've always liked the cave-like feel the rock walls give.

Another spring-y shot for you - these lupines bloom every year at Fort Hill in the Cape Cod National Seashore. I'm not sure what the bloom will look like this year as the Park Service did a bunch of work to clear out invasive species and mow the fields.

Although I might grumble about the hot and humid weather that is rapidly enveloping Cape Cod, I can't deny that the flowers we get in the spring are beautiful. I took this photo at sunset in the Cape Cod National Seashore a few years ago.

I visited Great Sand Dunes National Park because we happened to be nearby and I wasn't sure when I'd be in this corner of Colorado again. After visiting, I would really like to plan a trip back with more time to explore!

The dunes were surprisingly massive against the backdrop of the Crestone Peaks and Sangre de Cristo range. I scoped out a few locations for sunset but ultimately the weather did its thing and a spring storm moved in across the mountains blocking out the light. There were a few minutes where the dunes were lit up by the low angle light to the west and the mountains covered in dark storm clouds and that's when I took this photo.

I took this panorama during golden hour before sunset from the summit of Mount Jackson in the White Mountain National Forest of New Hampshire. The sun was setting to the west and bathing the slopes of the Presidential Range with a golden glow that contrasted beautifully with the blue skies above. This sunset hike up Mount Jackson with my friend David Simms might have been my favorite of the winter of 2026. The Presidential Range was covered in clouds and visibility was zero when we left the parking lot. After a few hours of climbing through the snowy forest, however, we broke out of the trees onto the summit of Mount Jackson and were rewarded with this cloudless sky and fantastic view of Mounts Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower, and Pierce.
