From the basin cascade trail you can make it to several different awesome spots, like lonesome lake and more. But along this route, you’ll encounter dozens of small waterfalls, tons of beautiful rock formations, and more moss than the … Continue reading Hiking Basin Cascade Trail in New Hampshire
I took a stroll with my uncle at Beavertail State Park in Jamestown Rhode Island right before hurricane Isaias last week. The portion that hit Rhode Island was just some wind left over from the storm down in the Caribbean, but it still made for a great atmosphere at the beach in Rhode Island. The skies were calm and the waves weren’t insane, but it … Continue reading Beavertail Lighthouse before Hurricane Isaias
Update: July 14, 2020. Added some quality issues I ran into below, along with experience on different water types and some hopes for future model improvements.
One of my favorite things to do is kayak. Another one of my favorite things is go fishing. When possible, I combine both of these activities! Earlier this season, my previous kayak of 13 years finally had its last trip. After extensive research, I purchased a new Bonafide ss107 kayak. Here are my first impressions. (There’s a video tour at the bottom if you’re pressed for time)

At 3:14 am everything is dead silent in the house. The cats are all sleeping (finally), we’re tucked under the covers with the AC quietly humming. A car hasn’t driven down our quiet street for the past 5 hours. The minute hand on my watch shifts and the alarm begins to siren.
I can assure you, there are few good reasons to wake up at 3:15 in the morning. The first one is if you awake and your house is aflame. The second is if you’re heading out to get some ocean fishing in. That’s precisely what I was planning on this beautiful morning with my good pal Christopher.

Last weekend I was able to get out on the water and do a little fishing. Thankfully during this COVID-19 shenanigans, fishing is still safe. Here’s a couple shots from the boat that morning. Continue reading A little seclusion during COVID-19. Fishing at Big Sandy Pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
This morning we got our first real snow of the tail end of 2019. After I shoveled a bit, I naturally took the 4Runner out for a spin in the slush. I ended up exploring a few dirt back roads in the 4Runner – I wanted to test out the 4 LO capabilities with the stock tires on. Between the mud and snow it held … Continue reading Winter Wonderland. First snow in the 4Runner
The bike path / recreational path that span fairhaven Massachusetts and Mattapoisett Massachusetts offers some wonderful scenery. This was a look out at low tide on a cool August afternoon. Continue reading Out for a run in Fairhaven Massachusetts
Took a trip to Harold’s state park with some friends this past weekend. Really great spot in Andover, Massachusetts. Not too far from Boston. The camp ground was amazing. Super clean and had a wonderful little pond. Continue reading Exploring Massachusetts
Last July I went back up to Brownfield, Maine to do some camping with friends. The stars were as gorgeous as ever up there. I created a bunch of shots, including some really long exposures of star trails, with a fire roaring at our campsite. It did an amazing job of illuminating the trees in the foreground under the stars. Here’s a few choice shots … Continue reading Stargazing in the deep woods
10pm on an unsuspecting Thursday. I took out the recycling and noticed some seriously dramatic clouds sweeping through the sky under the moon. I grabbed my equipment and took to the street with my slippers on like an old man. The newly renovated Cornell Lofts are basically my front yard. They helped to make a pretty interesting foreground for the action in the sky! Continue reading Clouds sweeping over Fall River
