“Turning Colors”
I’ve taken many photos along this theme over the years – I absolutely love the strong silhouette border and pop of colors in the sunlight.

“Lean Into the Morning Mist”
Sarah and I have also talked about taking a vacation down to Southern Illinois to see the natural beauty for years. By the time the trip was complete, we had hundreds of fantastic images.

I'm a hated individual. There's always someone mean mugging me or acting jealous. You can always tell when people constantly watch what you do and then copy you. I'm used to it by now. #shawneenationalforest

I signed up for a half marathon. It's a trail run through the #ShawneeNationalForest. I'm going to try to train for it, but I feel like I'll fast-hike most of it.

Spring storms loom over the Garden of the Gods in Southern Illinois. The forest has not quite awakened from its winter slumber. March 2025.

The start of a quick #backpacking trip in one of #Illinois 's three! #wilderness areas. Each is small; #Indiana 's #CharlesCDeam #Deam is larger than the three together.

Wild dog
Once he has his backpack on, Kobuk wants to GO. He agreed to make a bokeh appearance at the trailhead, though.

#scenic view of the nearby #gardenofthegods in the magnificent #shawneenationalforest. Worried of what will be left after the plan of stripping 280 million acres of our #forests away. #nature #photography #illinois
