Growing up on the coast I never thought I would ever want to be away from the ocean. But when I came to the mountains for the first time, 5 years ago, that all changed. I am in awe every time I go there. This time was no different. The first getaway trip with the wife ( @just.the.letter.kay ) was an experience I will never forget. Seeing the splendor of Gods creation with the person you love most is something I will never grow tired of.

I went out with my brother recently, hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Blowing Rock, NC. He loves the mountains but rarely visits, so we spend as much time as possible outside when he makes his way out west. He took a minute to breathe about halfway up the trail at Rough Ridge.

Backpacked late Friday after work to a spot in Linville Gorge North Carolina. It was rainy and really foggy on the hike in that night. We woke up the next morning to clear skies and once we got out of our tent we saw the clouds engulfing the mountain top. Definitely an amazing experience!

We rented a cabin in the mountains of Virginia to escape the craziness between Christmas and New Years Eve in the big city. It was hard to capture how secluded we were from the ground, and just how far away from the hustle and bustle we were. We sent the drone up to capture the landscape, the cabin, and the surrounding area.

After hiking to the Catawba Falls in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, I took this shot of a backpack on a rock close to the waterfall. The backpacker left his hat right on it and it seems to be looking at the waterfall as well…

In the surrounding cities of Asheville, NC, you’ll find a variety of farms, from apple tree fields to freely roaming livestock. I pulled the car over to capture a few of the bulls and cows, and their calves. In the far distance, stood one bull in particular (this one). I saw him from a distance, staring me down. I started to capture those near the fence, and after every few photos, I would look up. The bull closer, every time. Then, I looked up and there he was. Death staring me from 20 feet away, at most. I took his photo and slowly went on my way as to let him continue guarding his herd.
