National Parks


Every year I try to plan a vacation to a National Park. The unfortunate thing is that I don’t live near any of the premier parks such as Yosemite or Yellowstone. Still, I’ve made to the Florida Everglades, the Grand Canyon, and most recently Yosemite. This section contains my pictures from these locations and in the case of parks I haven’t been to, pictures from fellow photographers on Flickr.

Grand Canyon Pictures

Last year I went to the Grand Canyon. The plan was to stay for several days, hike, and take pictures. Everything went according to plan.

Death Valley Pictures

This national park does a good job of living up to its harsh name. It is the lowest, hottest, and driest place in the United States. And year, it's 3.3 million acres which span California and Nevada are considered to be both tranquil and beautiful.

Yosemite Pictures

Earlier this year a took a trip to California. The first part of the trip included 3 days at one of the premier national parks in the United States -- Yosemite. I had heard a lot of praise about the park and was quite excited about finally having an opportunity to see it first hand.

Crocodile Pictures

If you've ever been to the Florida Everglades, you know that crocodiles are so common there it's amazing the park is open to the public. You'd think they'd lose more hikers than they do. Perhaps the crocodiles are so well fed that they can't be bothered to chase down humans.

Florida Everglades Bird Pictures

If you like birds, whether to take pictures or to just observe, I highly recommend a trip to the Florida Everglades. The proximity to the coast, mix of fresh and salt water, and lots of brush make it an ideal place for many types of birds.
