Observing the natural world
I believe my last blog post was published on the 19th of November. Time sure passes quickly! Since that day, I have been busy visiting preserves and natural areas to check off my list (recall the post: A Lofty Goal). In this post, I decided to take a different path (no pun intended). Instead of long-winded introspection, I... Continue Reading →
Autumn can be described simply as an annual cycle, in which the Earth and the Sun in our solar system are positioned just so. The season can also be described as the prequel to winter, where the long, lazy sunny days of summer are but a distant memory. To some, Autumn represents a time to reflect,... Continue Reading →
This visit to Ransom Lake was planned on the drive home from the visit the week prior (being October 1st). As of the 1st of October, the leaves on the deciduous trees had just begun to reveal their fall splendor. Peeks of reds, oranges and golds adorned the landscape. This is why I decided to...

In my absence from my blog, I have been enjoying numerous hikes around the Grand Traverse region. And during these hikes, I have been quite taken with the myriad tree species that call Northern Michigan home. Both conifers and deciduous varieties coexist among the rolling hills, the pristine shores and secluded wetlands. It is this species... Continue Reading →
Tonight's post will contain few words. Instead, this post will focus solely on a few photographs (captured with my Kodak P-880) from a recent visit to one of my all-time favorite places, Deepwater Point. Enjoy! Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit my page. 🙂 -Adam K.
The late day sun offered a golden glow to the flowing sea of grasses lining the trail. The leaves of trees rustled gently, carrying with it the honey-sweet symphony of birds hidden in the underbrush. I had come out to this trail head in hopes of capturing some great shots of the songbirds that frequent this... Continue Reading →

The phone camera is simple to operate, pocket-able, and captures moments that can quickly be shared to social media. Plus. phone cameras have come a long way-- I am always impressed with...

It is no secret that I am passionate about wetlands. I love everything about them. I especially love photographing them...especially wetlands with large, towering Cumulus clouds gracefully traversing the horizon. This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to do just that...photograph a picturesque wetland located just outside of Traverse City. Getting a Little Lost After a... Continue Reading →
The uncharted calls to me The untouched--that without tarnish Fields of green sway to a universal pulse Why must my soul be drawn to a shaded path? To a woodland stream meandering through ancient arteries? Here I am but a witness to the divine I close my eyes to the light and listen I hear... Continue Reading →

Sometimes while hiking, I find myself drawn to what is just around the next corner. What is up the next hill? What would I miss if I turned around now? Curiosity prevails where the horizon is a row of deciduous trees. A gentle breeze carrying with it the sweet aroma of decaying leaf litter. And of... Continue Reading →
An objective perception. Highly personal...private perhaps. Within the mind, the expanse of the cosmos. A thought, a sensation. A bear-hug from a loved one. An engaging book. Sanctuary can be representative of all the above, some of the above, or none of the above. While sifting through my library of images building this website, I... Continue Reading →
