Nothing compares to the joy of spending your summer hiking in the great outdoors. From the refreshing scent of pine trees to the serene sounds of a bubbling brook, nature offers a stunning backdrop for adventure and relaxation.

Discover Unique Flora and Fauna

This is truly one of my loves in photography besides birds.

As you hike, take time to appreciate the beautiful plants and wildlife around you. Look out for:

• Wildflowers bloom during the summer months.
• Birds and animals that are active and visible, such as deer, rabbits, and various bird species.  The babies!
• Unique trees and plants that may not be found in your local area.

Don't forget to bring your camera! The landscapes and wildlife present countless opportunities for stunning photographs. Capture:

• Dramatic sunsets over mountain ranges.
• Reflections in serene lakes.
• Close-ups of unique flora and fauna.

Embrace the Adventure

Hiking is not just a physical activity; it’s also a time to unplug and connect with nature. Take in the sights, sounds, and smells around you, and let yourself fully immerse in the beauty of the wilderness.

Safety First

Always prioritize safety while hiking. Here are some tips:

• Wear appropriate footwear and clothing.
