Finally, a visitor to our side of the water.

This summer has been very quiet for wildlife near our house. Not sure what has changed, but my family and I have missed the wildlife this summer. I spotted this heron hanging out on the fallen tree the other morning. I hope this means we'll have more wildlife coming around soon!

I doubled back for this sunrise last week, and I’m glad I did.

August mornings have a way of turning humidity into pure magic — sun rays slicing through the mist, lighting up the field like a painting.

Was this one worth doubling back for?

"CROSS THIS BRIDGE AT A WALK…"

There’s something about the McCallister Covered Bridge in Parke County that always pulls me in. Tucked off a quiet gravel road, hidden just far enough from the main drag, it feels like a place time forgot. The sunflowers in the field beside it only add to the charm—like the whole scene is holding its breath.

Ever notice how so many covered bridges carry that same warning? “Cross this bridge at a walk.” It’s easy to read it as a gentle nudge to slow down in life, and honestly, I kind of love it that way. But the real reason is practical: moving too fast—back then with horse‑drawn carriages, now with cars—creates vibrations that can damage the wooden joints.

Still… it feels like good advice.

Who else thinks covered bridges are cool?

Things have been pretty quiet around the pond, but this egret was out doing its thing earlier this summer. Always cool to see who shows up when everything else settles down.

My daughter called our attention to this tiny frog on our glass door this weekend. It hung there while we ate breakfast. I don't think he wasn't much bigger than a quarter.

Any thoughts on what we should name this little one?

One bridge, one sky, one moment you only get, if you stay out long enough.

Another shot I captured at Tulip Trestle under a crystal‑clear Indiana night a few weeks ago.

Hit like if you’d stand under this sky… and comment where you’d go next.

Fire in the sky as a common bird perches on a tree.

I captured this shot a few weeks ago after some storms had rolled through. As they cleared, it was evident the sun set was going to look like stunning fire. I love this barren tree. It provides a great perch for birds to have a high and unobstructed view of the area.

This location has been on my list for close to two years. I’ve held off for the fact that it is an hour and a half drive one way for me, and that’s a very late drive home. My risk management mindset kicked in labeling that too risky.

However, the other night, I made the trek to the Tulip Trestle. Usually I scope out spots during the day, but this trek just made it a littler harder. The trestle didn’t disappoint seeing it for the first time against the dark night sky. I’ll for sure be going back in the fall and hope to get back one more time during Milky Way season.

To get this shot, I used my Nikon D750 with a Tamron 15-30mm lens. I took 10 photos with an aperture at f2.8, shutter speeds around 20-25 seconds, and ISO at 4000. I stacked and aligned the photos in post production and did my edits from there.

Normally, I’d use my star tracker. It wasn’t until I was there unpacking my bag I realized I left half my star tracker at home. This may be one of my favorite Milky Way photos to date.

A few weeks ago my kids and I were baking. I needed a toothpick to check the “doneness” of said baked item and was mesmerized of the textures in the glass jar we keep the toothpicks in. Something about all the little points looking at me just looked right, so I grabbed a few photos.

I finally was able to make it out this last weekend for some Milky Way action. Life’s been busy enough I just haven’t had the time. I dropped in on a little pond not far from our house I love. The bad news, there’s some massive lights that point into the sky just beyond the water.

I’ve missed just being under the stars taking in the quiet night sky.

Shot on various cameras using Move Shoot Move Star tracker.
