It was a rare day for me here in Ohio—a day without family plans. Before anyone gets their nose out of joint allow me to explain. In late July Lance and I drove all the way from Amarillo, Texas to Wellington, Ohio specifically to visit with my relatives. At roughly 1,300 miles it was no [...]
To accompany Erin’s account of our visit to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Wyoming’s Crown Jewels, here are four videos illustrating our time in these two beautiful parks.
First, see what a Moose or two can do to traffic on the main highway going from Grand Teton to Yellowstone. Just outside Jackson Lake Lodge, we [...]
Listen to this male American Bison grunt to try to get attention–it is mating season, after all. (Turn up the volume to hear his grunts.)

This video shows Erin walking around in her element: outside taking pictures. I tried to be quiet so you could hear the silence; but the resulting audio just sounds like wind noise… oh well. I took this out during one of our evening [...]
These two videos go with our Horsin’ Around in Kentucky post. Both clips are from the Kentucky Horse Park’s “Parade of Breeds” where visitors can watch and learn about a wide variety of horse breeds from around the world.
They typically have two different shows daily—we went to both and were excited to watch and learn. [...]
Niagara Falls[mp4 8.8MB, 2min 21 sec]
Erin and I had a beautiful day to explore the Niagara Falls area. It was a hot, sunny day in late summer, so the mist felt good on our faces. It was like a natural air conditioner—as soon as you left the edge of the falls, you were hot again.
Though [...]
Watch four boats tied together as they pass through Locks 34 and 35 on the New York State Barge Canal in Lockport, New York. We filmed this as part of our visit to Lockport (read Erin’s story in Exploring the Finger Lakes Area).

Our time on Mount Desert Island was wonderful; we enjoyed lots of outside time. Here are two videos of our adventures there, including a whale watch boat trip and a sea kayaking trip.
Of note in both clips is the calm sea—we were lucky to have two very nice days out on the water. It had [...]
Our first video from our time in Rhode Island is the fog horn at the Beavertail Lighthouse on Jamestown Island (officially Conanicut Island.) I am posting this more for the sound than the image, to be honest. It was a very foggy day at Beavertail, and the fog horn was so loud that it dominated [...]
This video features a short music segment by Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience.
While in Raleigh, North Carolina, one of the cool things we attended was the Artsplosure Spring Arts Festival. Terrance Simien played with his band as part of the festival, and we really enjoyed their music.
