Boston Marathon photo coverage from mile 24!

Marathon Monday is finally here, but this one was bound to be different than recent memory. Typically, runners and spectators are getting with the sunshine and warmth of a spring day. Not this year though. With temperatures in the low 40s, driving rain, and wind, today looked very challengi

Spent an entire day taking a look at some of the most exclusive cars in the country. These are just a section of shots, not even close to capturing all of the cars on the field that day.

It was great to escape the New England winter for a quick weekend trip to Florida. The Amelia Island Concours D'Elegance is held at the Ritz Carlton and features some amazing million dollar cars. This is one of the most exclusive car shows in the country with some very rare examples in incr

The power of wind and water erosion at work, carving out the distinct rock formations of Bryce called hoodoos.

Back in June of last year, we spent a night at Bryce Canyon during our trip through the southwest. This place has one of the most alien landscapes we have ever witnessed. The rock formations (called hoodoos) go on for as far as the eye can see. In late afternoon and early morning, the light reflects

Trekked up to Observation Point at Zion this summer. Well worth it to get views like these.

Hiking to Zion's Observation Point is a strenuous effort but offers an incredible view as the reward. Starting early in the day, we took the shuttle bus through the park to the Weeping Rock Trailhead. Almost immediately, the trail begins a steep vertical ascent of switchbacks that rise over 2,000 fe

First light on Acadia's Boulder Beach

Acadia National Park sees some of the first light on the East Coast. On a cold October morning, I ventured out in the dark into the park and walked down a trail to this spot, Boulder Beach. It takes a scramble down some large rocks to get to the shore, so it was deserted; nothing but the sound

A walk through the quiet streets of Charleston is like a step back in time.

Walking through the streets of Charleston is like a step back in time. There are so many unique architectural details, saturated colors, exposed masonry, grand mansions, and side alleyways to explore. While in town this September, we left the car and just walked everywhere we could. It's a r

Hiking upriver through the Zion Narrows in Utah.

At the farthest end of the Zion National Park road lie the Narrows. Here, the expansive canyon walls close in to their most confined point. There is a 1 mile footpath from the main road to the entrance of the Narrows, after which, you enter the Virgin River and literally hike upstream. An o

Earlier today at the Marathon!

The 121st running of the Boston Marathon was another incredible Patriots Day in Massachusetts. It was a warm race for the runners, with temperatures in the high 70s and strong sun in the morning. Viewing the race from mile 24, so many good-willed fans cheered along the runners down the final

Exploring the twists of Lower Antelope Canyon

Lower Antelope Canyon glows a deep red with the light reaching down the narrow slot canyon walls. This section was empty, quiet, and very beautiful.

It may feel like spring this weekend, but just last week in northern Vermont it was a classic New England winter day in Stowe.

With the 70+ degree weather we've had this week, it's hard to imagine just a week ago it was a cold New England winter day in the upper reaches of Vermont. With the long weekend, we ventured to Burlington to explore a new city. On the way, we stopped in the town of Stowe and the Von Trapp lodg
