This Photographer has a lot to be Thankful for

As I write this blog on Thanksgiving, after feeding our backyard birds, squirrels and deer, I realize that as a photographer I have a lot to be thankful for.

Most of my recent photos were taken on public lands, and the National Park Service cares for most of those lands. Sometimes, as Americans, we take for granted all that is given to us. I know I do. I am awestruck when I visit Harper’s Ferry and not only experience our past there, but view the Great Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers as they converge. I am humbled when I spy a Great Blue Heron at Bombay Hook or Blackwater Wildlife Refuges. I am quieted when I walk the hallowed grounds of Gettysburg and Antietam. And I am blown away every time I cross the Golden Gate Bridge and view all of her surrounding lands.

As you view my photos, many of which are taken on these public lands, please take a moment to reflect on the greatness of our land. Better yet, take a day trip or longer and experience these wonders for yourself.

Oh and by the way, did you know that the NPS is responsible for taking care of the White House grounds?

And do enjoy!
