This photo is oddly satisfying, I don’t know why. There’s nothing super special about this one. Taken at the Walker Tenneco Plant.

Rockingham County Fair Day 3
Some of my favorite moments shooting rodeo are behind the scenes, like this image. A cowboy competing in the Professional Bull Riding at the Rockingham County Fair’s Grandstand Wednesday night puts on his chaps.

Here is your typical image you would expect from the event . . . Brandon Chambers of Newport, N.C., competes in Professional Bull Riding at the Rockingham County Fair’s Grandstand Wednesday night. He got a qualifying ride and scored 86 points.

This is me making breakfast in the morning.
Backpacking Day 3
The final day of our fast 3-day backpacking trip in the Pemigewasset Wilderness area of White Mountain National Forest. We got hit by a massive rain storm in the middle of the hike on the way back to my car.
A cool rock cairn.

Backpacking Day 2
Chris and woke early to get a head start on the trail. We had more miles to cover this day. In the afternoon we had a rainstorm roll in, forcing me to pack away my camera. So no rain photos.

My vacation this year . . . to the northeast for backpacking, hiking, Canada and random places for adventure!
Backpacking Day 1
Us in the White Mountain National Forest’s 45,000-acre Pemigewasset Wilderness area. We didn’t know, nor was it advertised on information boards at the parking area, that we needed to pay cash to stay at the established campgrounds in the wilderness. WTF?!?! Luckily, Chris forgot to empty his pockets after paying for breakfast in the morning. So we had enough money for two nights on the trail, instead of our planned three. So we had to cram in 35 miles in three days, instead of a leisurely pace during four days.
Unfortunately, we did not stop much as we had limited time to reach a camping area before nightfall. So I don’t have many photos from the first day.
