Gulf Island National Seashore Gator Pond

The Gulf Island National Seashore in Ocean Springs, Mississippi is located on Davis Bayou, and encompasses over 400 acres. Located near the campground, the ‘gator pond’, as it is know by locals, is a great area to spot all kinds of bayou wildlife, including alligators! Besides alligators, keep your eyes...

Cypress Mountain Viewpoint

This is one of the best locations to get beautiful panoramic views of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. On a clear day, you can see across Georgia Straight to Vancouver Island and southeast to Mount Baker in Washington State. The best time for photography here is at sunrise and sunset....

Scripps Pier

The Scripps Pier is photographers' favorite in San Diego at sunset. The beach crowds have left and there is ample, free parking on the road with a short walk down to the beach.  Sunsets can be random, though. My unique approach - and old surveyor's aluminum tripod with a thread...

Steamboat Springs Wagon Stay

I discovered this gem of a spot outside of Steamboat Springs through an online booking for BnB places just for a day night away from kids. Luckily I came with all my gear. Not only can you stay in this restored Sheepherder's Wagon on the property, but you can photograph it...

Smithsonian National Zoological Park

One of the best things about Washington D.C is countless number of public attractions. A day trip to the zoo is a must, especially if you have a soft corner for giant pandas. They are quite shy animals so you will have to be quite patient to catch a glimpse of...

Kurumba Island

Idyllic sea beaches, lazy waves, guppies swimming around you in the sea and beautiful blue skies above. It is the perfect place to disconnect and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday. One can get lost and spend hours with just a book and a hammock.  Even the...
