A New Generation
Having lived in the same house for 30 years now, I’ve watched generations of tree rats make their home in my backyard. Every year, a new crop of babies starts the process of getting to know us through the bribery process. I’ve probably distributed a ton of peanuts to them since 1995.

South Carolina Low Country
A spring afternoon in a kayak on a waterway like this is not a bad place to be. In the South Carolina Low Country, you can find places like this all over.

Pilot Mountain
If you ever heard Andy and Barney talking about Mount Pilot on the Andy Griffith Show, that was a reference to the real place, Pilot Mountain, NC, which is about 20 minutes away from Mount Airy, Griffith’s real hometown and the basis for the fictional Mayberry from the show.

Crossing the Hudson
This is the lowest point on the Appalachian Trail. It’s in New York, where the trail crosses the Hudson River. Manhattan is only 18 miles away. You can see the skyline from the top of the nearby mountain. #hiking #AppalachianTrail

Downtown Winston Salem at Night
These ghostly towers are all that remains of the old coal plant for the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company’s old coal-fired power plant. Today the area is a beautiful urban park and concert venue.

Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina
This beach is almost exactly 100 miles from my front door. It’s on a barrier island with no skyscrapers or chain restaurants. It is lovely.

Is it really called Chinese Chess?
I’m pretty sure it’s the amount of money riding on this game that attracts the crowd. Taken in a park on the edge of Chinatown in NYC.

Off the coast of County Cork, Ireland
The landscape near the shore is mostly sheep pastures. The waters are teeming with seals.

County Cork
The rugged Irish coastline in County Cork makes the placid sandy beaches I’m used to, look kind of bland in comparison.

South End of Central Park Facing Columbus Circle.
The land occupied by Central Park is probably worth about a trillion dollars, and it is a testament to good judgment that it continues to exist. It’s truly a national treasure.

Sunrise from the Carolina Coast
Great big beautiful morning to y’all. The Atlantic Ocean (Wrightville Beach) is just a couple of miles beyond that treeline. I might just have to go take a walk there after breakfast.

NYC Street
No matter how cool, trendy, or chic we get, the desire to keep physical contact with the object of our affection never leaves us. #streetphotography
