"Live the Life You've Imagined" Photo of the Day: March 20, 2016

"Go confidently in the directions of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." - Henry David Thoreau.

That is one of my favorite quotes, and for one reason or another this photo always reminds me of it. Maybe its the gorgeous seaside landscape or the two people atop the cliff. Whatever it may be, it always serves as a reminder for me to pursue my dreams.

"Cairns Skyline" Photo of the Day: October 14, 2015

This is the "skyline view" in Cairns, Queensland located in far northeastern Australia. The city itself is sizable with just over 150,000 residents and has some impressive architectural features throughout, however the most dramatic views are of the surrounding rainforest and harbor. Sailboats filled the marinas as storm clouds rolled in over the mountains. It is from this city that most tourists board ships that take them out to the Great Barrier Reef if they intend on experiencing the dramatic underwater spectacle.

"Joshua Tree Landscape" Photo of the Day: October 4, 2015

Joshua Tree National Park, Southern California. Eight years ago, this was the first ever desert national park that I had visited. To my surprise, it snowed almost the entire time that I was there and was one of the coldest days in recent park history (according to a park ranger).

"Vertical Falls" Photo of the Day: September 1, 2015

Happy September! This photo was taken several years ago in Glacier National Park in Montana on its famous Going-to-the-Sun Road.

"Blanchard Spring Cavern" Photo of the Day: August 31, 2015

If you ever find yourself in Arkansas, I would highly recommend visiting the Blanchard Spring Cavern cave system in Ozark National Forest. This was one of the first of countless incredible rock formations within the complex cave system that we saw on our journey beneath the earth's surface.

"Nighttime Coaster Ride" Photo of the Day: August 29, 2015

This famous roller coaster is located on the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California. In order to get this shot I had to wade out into the surf to get the angle that I wanted and would wait for the coaster to come by. Being battered by the waves was not very pleasant!

"The Stingray" Photo of the Day: August 21, 2015

Here is a photo of an incredible animal that I came across while snorkeling on some sandbars in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Northeastern Australia. The species is a Blue-Spotted Stingray, and I encountered several of these while snorkeling. Stingrays are personally some of my favorite fish and seeing them in the wild was a real treat!

"Storm Over Yellowstone Lake" Photo of the Day: August 20, 2015

The cloud cover after an intense rain storm over Yellowstone Lake begins to break apart. This was difficult to shoot as I was standing near a sulfer vent, and I had to consistently clean the lens from the build up of condensation from the steam!
