A lot to see in the next few weeks and it starts with the Pro Wildcard Challenge July 23 and 24. @FuturesEdwards

Felt like this group was posing for me at the #stlzoo. July 14.

Juxtaposition. Kuwohi at 6,643 ft in the @GreatSmokyNPS on July 8. After a 1/2 mile walk up a 9% grade with a 250 ft elevation gain, the cool mid 60s temp with mist and fog felt good. The Smoky Mts lived up to its name.

For 34 school years I knew the road and where it led. Now I see part of the road but unsure where it leads. A new adventure begins. The Newfound Gap on the TN side of the @GreatSmokyNPS. Below is the Newfound Gap road. #travelphotography #retirement

First trip to @My_PigeonForge and after location scouting I knew this is where to begin. The West Prong Little Pigeon River flowing by the Old Mill Restaurant. Customers and a crane waiting for a meal. Sony a7iii 1/8 sec f11 iso 2000 Hand held on railing

Established 109 years ago on July 8! This is Otter Point Overlook in 2024. @AcadiaNPS Where is your favorite national park?

I’ve been here on Fridays. I’ve been here on Saturdays. There’s been sun. And there’s been rain. I’ve photographed MS here. I’ve photographed HS here. July 25 will be different. Detweiller at Dark. Let’s go!

The Canon R6II tracking system. 1/8000 sec, f8, variable iso. For reference I photographed the sprinters at boys state at 1/1250-1/1600 sec.

For the next triathlon, I need to be in the water or in a boat. The STL Triathlon. Creve Coeur Lake Park. June 29. #stltriclub #triathlon #stlouistriathlon

My first triathlon to photo and it was fun! I learned from a friend how tri swimmers save their legs for the cycling portion and how tri cyclists have a style too. Check out the smiles and energy! June 29. STL Triathlon

Fun to see and hear about former HS XC and TF athletes moving on to triathlons. Cheered two at the STL Triathlon including this former Tiger. June 29.

Athletes enter the water and then complete the 750m swim in the first leg of the Sprint Triathlon. Lou Fusz St.Louis Triathlon. Creve Coeur Lake. June 29. One of 14 different competitive events happening.
