Greetings from Glacier National Park
As I stepped out of the bus and arrived at the campgrounds, I realized that I had not considered myself a nature person. Why go out when I can relax in my bed with some snacks and watch YouTube? I thought that I would have to deal with suffocating heat,…

Greetings from Great Smoky Mountains National Park
I grew up in New Orleans. My parents divorced when I was young, and my mom worked two jobs to make ends meet. Vacations were not something we were able to do. In my teens I was invited to go on a trip with a friends family to the Smoky…

We were visiting the Park on May 13, 2019, and I shot many photos. When I got home I realized I captured what appeared to be a rare daylight meteor strike or space debris vaporizing in Earth's atmosphere above the Canyon. We were on or near Hermit Road along the…
