The Little Things – Surprise Inspiration

For those of you that are friends with me on Facebook or Twitter, you know that I like to wrap up most weekdays with a short note about the highlight of my day. It’s usually something small – sometimes seemingly insignificant – but to me it’s one thing on that given day which made me...

Christine & Tracey – Impromptu Newlywed Session

I’m not gonna lie. With every step I took, I thought about the heavy camera and couple of lenses sitting in the depths of my backpack. There were moments when I questioned my sanity. Everything I’d ever learned about backpacking told me to shed all superfluous weight possible. In my mind, the extra weight was...

Sights, Smells, and Sounds – Spring Hike

Back in 2007, when I hiked the Appalachian Trail, I made a mental note of a specific section of the trail in North Carolina that I knew I’d love to come back to one day. A section with rhododendron tunnels (which I happen to love, love, love), a couple of mountaintop balds with 360 degree...

Erin (Trail Dancer) GAME 07′ - I followed you and Certain’s journals when you were hiking and then I kept reading when Certain went back out. When you asked how I started reading your blog at first I couldn’t remember…but I got your blog from your trail journal a long time ago. When I saw your pictures of the AT I completely forgot that I already knew that you hiked the AT. I live in Virginia and my boyfriend (now husband) and I hiked in 07′. We only saw you guys one time on the trail outside of Hot Spring at the first shelter called Double Spring I think. We hiked with Sven and Uff-da a lot. You and Certain were camping below the shelter and we tented up in a small tent city. Such a small world! And I remember Taker Man, we ran across him a few times with Young Eagle. Check out my trail journal and keep your pictures coming I love them and your perspective!April 15, 2010 – 7:30 am

Storm - nice work p, you really know how to capture the emotion of those momentsApril 14, 2010 – 11:51 pm

~Ronin - Great shots P-Dids! Brings back lots of memories! Max patch and the section that follows is in my top 5 sections of the Trail. You’ve also helped me to see why Beauty Spot is so called…it was socked in rain and clouds when I camped there. Oh, and that huge tree – yeah, we’re cuttin’ that baby down for flooring!April 14, 2010 – 6:26 pm

Harry “Early-Mon” Dyson - Those photos took me back. Are y’all going to make it to Trail Days again this yr??

Joy’l Ver Heul - So beautiful Nicole! Thanks for bringing me on a little vacation this morning!April 14, 2010 – 8:52 am

Sean - It’s so funny how everything, everything, everything seems to just fit right into place with the sort of alignment you experienced. It’s amazing to me! This felt a little bit heavenly to read, and then view actually, Nicole. It feels like you were so relaxed writing this and so at peace and I love that :)

Great post.April 14, 2010 – 8:44 am
