There's something especially calming about gazing upon a first quarter moon at dusk.

#PeaceCorps and #USAID are intrinsically connected. During service I used a SPA grant via USAID to furnish two school computer labs in my village in the beautiful country of #Lesotho. Sending love to those affected and thank you for your service to humanity.

Counting down the days until our next Shenandoah National Park visit. There's something especially serene about getting deep on a hike and knowing that the trailblazers from the CCC forged them in the 1930s and 40s.

After receiving minimal #snow the past two years, this week's storm has proven rather cathartic.

In November 2022, I photographed a tree amidst some fog while traveling in Shenandoah National Park. I captured the same image without fog in October 2023. Here's a side-by-side:
