My dad died a little over a week ago.
I've been looking through old photographs since then, and one thing that keeps appearing is Dad outside — hiking, fishing, kayaking, traveling, taking photographs and simply spending time in wild places.
He loved being outdoors, and that was something he passed on to me. I've spent much of my own life hiking, climbing, paddling, photographing and paying attention to the natural world.
I don't think I fully understood how much of that began with him until now.
Thanks, Dad.
