  • Greetings from Shenandoah National Park

    John Muir said it best: "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."

  • Greetings from Dry Tortugas National Park

    The moment we arrived at the Dry Tortugas I fell in love with the views from atop Fort Jefferson. What I love about The Dry Tortugas is that you can explore Florida's natural wonders and get lost exploring a historic site all at the same time. A feeling of peace…

  • Greetings from Statue of Liberty National Monument

    I took this photo on my mom's birthday August 20th of 2013 and she liked it when Lady Liberty always stand above the pedestal in the Harbor. She thanked me for accepting my gift to her and it was a fitting present that I gave to her. This is our…

    Greetings from Shenandoah National Park

    Back when my wife and I were just dating, we used to go hiking to the top of Old Rag in Shenandoah National Park fairly often. I decided to propose to her near the top, and secretly packed a tripod and camera in my backpack to enable me to capture…

  • Greetings from Canyon De Chelly National Monument

    Canyon de Chelly is an especially beloved, sacred place of remembered childhood wonder for me. My last pilgrimage confined me to the soul searching views from the rim though I still remember the wild jeep rides splashing though the river on the canyon bottom from my younger days. On this…

  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    I have traveled all over our amazing country, and after visits to nearly all of the large, great National Parks, I feel so blessed to have seen the wonders of Zion in the moonlight, feeling dwarfed my the tall redwoods in California, the girth of the mighty sequoias. I love…

  • Greetings from Shenandoah National Park

    This is my favorite park. I have spent four of my week-long vacations here each year, enjoying the serenity and beauty of the area. I have spent endless camping and hiking adventures here. The water, the mountains and the birds all bring love to my heart. Even the sounds of…

  • Greetings from Mammoth Cave National Park

    I have been a 'parkie' now for two decades. Much of that I worked in parks around this amazing country, and all this time I have searched for and through every park site I could visit. I have visited over 350 units so far. Different family members have visited me…

  • Greetings from Yellowstone National Park

    I've been there about 10 times and it never ceases to amaze. Hiking, fishing, camping are just a few of the things I've done there.I caught the biggest brook trout I've ever seen there. I would love to take my girl there one day.

  • Greetings from Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve

    This picture was taken at Glacier Bay one of those overcast days in Alaska. This was the first National Park Brochure that I had, and I received it from my uncle when I was a child. Now, the dream came true and I have my own, so I am planning…
