I am finally back in North Carolina, after two months of almost non-stop storm chasing action. I had an great time and saw some amazing storms, and 30,000 miles brought me to many new places. In the span of the two months, I ended up chasing storms throughout MS, MO, NE, KS, OK, TX, AL, IA, … More Storms in the midwest
No fences, no walkways, no tourguides. This is what crossed my mind as I walked toward a herd of Bison in the distance. I found myself in a middle of a field and accidentally at one of the most beautiful wildlife refuges I have ever been to. It is called the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, … More Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
The stars really shine in Texas. This is what I have been figuring out, after spending my whole life living in North Carolina. Humidity and clouds in NC due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, combined with light pollution, make for fewer opportunities and locations to photograph the milky way.

On the way to Texas for my internship, New Orleans had to be a quick pit stop. I have been there before and the live music, people, food, and wetlands could keep me happy for eternity. This blog is going to be about my visit to the Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve and its … More New Orleans Swamping

Growing up in North Carolina, I have traveled to many cities, hiked a few trails, and have become desensitized to what beauty exists in this state. Five years ago if you had showed me a picture of a Cypress Swamp, I would have assumed it came out of Florida, or a country far away from … More Southern Pines Explored
