Day 30: “Solitude” 📷

Shi Shi Beach in the fog was magical.

Day 29: “Winding”

The Manistee River is so beautiful in the Fall. I’ve backpacked it more than once, and I would do it again.

Day 28: “ephemeral” 📷

Drove to Ohio to see the eclipse back in April of last year, and it was a very memorable experience. Will never forget how the sky looked like sunset in every direction for those fleeting moments.

Day 27: “Collective” 📷

Is a collection of shells a collective? I don’t know. What I do know is that I enjoy the trips down to Florida where my parents enjoy collecting these and so many more.

Day 26: “Bridge” 📷

Update: I realized that this is actually the bridge over the Red River. Another beautiful area, but I do still have a special place in my heard for Manistee.

Love hiking on the Manistee River Trail and this bridge is a highlight.

Day 25: “Decay” 📷

Looking at where I took this, and I find it interesting that this was right around the corner from Fallingwater in Pennsylvania.

Day 24: “Bloom” 📷

The local botanical garden was right around the corner for years, and it took my brother for visiting for us to visit.

Day 23: “Fracture” 📷

While hiking in Cuyahoga National Park, we met a park ranger who guided us down a small hidden canyon with some carvings in the rock face. Felt like we walked into a different world outside of time.

Day 22: “Hometown” 📷

There weren’t many things to see in my hometown but many fields of corn, wheat, and soybeans. This little drive goes back to the cemetery we lived near. It was a peaceful route to walk, and we enjoyed hiking through the woods back to the river beyond.

Day 21: “Silhouette” 📷

I went way back to 2011 to find this photo I took while in Greece. I remember this ferry ride that stopped by a few islands on its way to Patmos. Lovely sunset. The ride took hours, and I think we arrived sometime around 2am.

Day 20: “Gather” 📷

There is just something about apple picking in the Autumn… Even in the heat of the Summer when I don’t want the bright sunny days to end, I can smell the Fall air. If it weren’t for Winter, and maybe despite it, Autumn may be my favorite season.

Day 19: “Equal” 📷

Nephew left his shoes at the house after visiting for the weekend. I suppose shoes aren’t really equal and are really more like mirror images of each other…

Day 18: “Texture” 📷

Hard to describe how this green sand in Hawaii felt, but it was definitely different from light fluffy white sand. Learned that there are only a few green sand beaches in the world. This one was quite the trek getting to.

Day 17: “Warmth” 📷

I don’t know how else to describe Hawaii other than very warm and very beautiful.

Day 16: “Blur” 📷

I am almost certain this on the way home from or on my way to my last trip before COVID shut everything down back in March 2020.

Day 15: “Tie” 📷

This brings me back to 2015 when I did some rock climbing in the area.

Day 14: “Twilight” 📷

Taken from my hotel balcony in Honolulu. To be honest it’s before sunrise and not after sunset. I was up super early due to jet lag.

Day 13: “Pathway” 📷

This was a surprisingly nice hike through Capilano River Regional Park in Vancouver.

On the same trip as my photo from yesterday, this is a photo of a gate in Toledo, Spain.
