I'm SO excited to report one of my photos appears on this year’s official DOO-WW magnet!
Notebook / Blog
Rather than a blog, I like to think of this space as a personal notebook that is open and available for all to see. If I'm already keeping notes for my own various uses, why not share them publicly and hopefully provide value to others as well?
I finally had the chance to explore the beautiful and remarkable Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park in Virginia!
I had a couple vacation days to use in the middle of chilly Philadelphia February with limited budget. As I perused Google Maps searching for ideas how to spend two winter days, a north-eastern food and drink tour began to emerge.
Here’s what happened.
This low-key park flies under the radar but is a gem of a place! Upper Tampa Bay Park offers easy, short hikes among a diverse range of Florida trees and plants.
I've been waiting to try White Manna in Hackensack NJ for more than 15 years. It is one of the teeniest hamburger spots you’ll find anywhere! Very appropriately, they specialize in small burger sliders. I finally visited.
In the midst of troubleshooting some issues with a 2015-purchased networked HP LaserJet P3015, upgrading the firmware became a necessary step. Here we go.
Rock Island State Park, located in central Tennessee, came recommended to me by locals, and features two notable waterfalls: Great Falls (20 feet tall but impressively wide) and Twin Falls (80 feet tall and also considerably wide).
Of the 3 Tennessee state parks I visited in 2023, Fall Creek Falls State Park was my overall favorite! The multiple waterfalls were great, of course, culminating in the 256 feet main waterfall, but the hiking trails, landscape views and swinging bridge along the way were the perfect compliment to the experience.
I'm not a fan of winter, but the first snow in Philadelphia since owning my DJI Mavic Air 2S drone made me very curious to go out exploring the nearby landscapes. And I'm glad I did -- there were some really amazing views!
Some snowy scenes from Fox Chase Farm, Pennypack and Lorimer Parks, and Pine Road in Northeast Philadelphia!
