Mount Horeb Parks & Recreation
It's that time of year when I don't take photos as much. I'm sort of "done" for a while. Now I only carry my Canon gear when I truly "feel" like it. Today I took another stroll in the nearby park. It's a place I once spent so much time. Something tells me I need to get out there more. #stewartcountypark #stewartpark #stewartlake #danecountyparks #travelwi #explorewi #wisconsin #wisconsintrails #wisconsinparks #driftlessregion #driftless #driftlessarea #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #travelwisconsin #midwestliving #explorewisconsin #outdoorlife #getoutside #liveoutdoors #getoutthere #naturelover #redditig
Today had an interesting photo session. I was hired to take photos of the local horse trails. I met up with an awesome pair of siblings and their horses. We did a 3 mile walk along the equestrian trails in nearby Donal County Park. I can't think of a more easy going photo shoot. Even though lugged along all my camera gear in my cargo stroller I never broke any of it out. Instead I just took photos on the fly as things caught my eye. There are days I love my job. I just wish they were more frequent. #donaldcountypark #donaldpark #danecountyparks #travelwi #explorewi #wisconsin #wisconsintrails #wisconsinparks #driftlessregion #driftless #driftlessarea #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #travelwisconsin #midwestliving #explorewisconsin #outdoorlife #getoutside #liveoutdoors #getoutthere #naturelover #nature #horse #horses #equestrian #horsesofinstagram #equine #horseriding #horsestagram #horselove

One of the striking things about the equestrian trails in Donald Park is that they are really wide. You can ride side by side. The people who maintain this park have done a truly amazing job. #donaldcountypark #donaldpark #danecountyparks #travelwi #explorewi #wisconsin #wisconsintrails #wisconsinparks #driftlessregion #driftless #driftlessarea #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #travelwisconsin #midwestliving #explorewisconsin #outdoorlife #getoutside #liveoutdoors #getoutthere #naturelover #nature #horse #horses #equestrian #horsesofinstagram #equine #horseriding #horsestagram #horselove

Snowshoeing in Stewart County Park
One of the activities that is promoted by the Scandihoovian Winter Festival is snowshoeing in our local parks. Fontana Sports Specialties offers free demo shoes at Cave of the Mounds during the day of the event but I couldn't make it out there yesterday. Instead I took my wife Teri for a quick stroll through Stewart County Park, which is close to our home. The trails are well groomed for both snowshoeing and cross country skiing. It's really awesome when taking a walk with your wife is literally "all in a day's work." #scandihoovian #winterfest2017 #winterfest #scandifest #mounthoreb #midwestisbest #midwestliving #wi #travelwi #discoverwisconsin #wisconsin #wisco #onwisconsin #madisonwi #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinphotographer #travelwisconsin #explorewisconsin #driftlessarea #midwestmoment #conquer_wi #themidwestival #danecounty #nordic #norse #nordiclife #stewartlake #danecountyparks #snowshoe #snowshoeing

Ten days ago I made my way down into the nearby park. I usually test shoot my gear just before entering. I use a farm on the next ridge over as my focal point. That day there was a really nice contrast when sunlight broke through the clouds behind me. #stewartlake #stewartcountypark #danecountyparks #travelwi #explorewi #wisconsin #wisconsintrails #wisconsinparks #driftlessregion #driftless #driftlessarea #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #travelwisconsin #midwestliving #explorewisconsin #outdoorlife #getoutside #liveoutdoors #getoutthere #naturelover #redditig

Blue Mound State Park Mountain Biking
While photographing the mother & daughter on the nicely graded Military Ridge Trail the day before I learned her husband was very involved with a nearby mount bike trail. Located in Blue Mound State Park is a biking trail rated for advanced riders. He and I met in the park and I sort of jogged along behind him carrying my gear on my back and holding a C-Stand. We didn't have to go too far though. He's involved with Capital Off Road PathFinders, a local chapter of the IMBA, who maintain this trail, so he knew of a certain rock formation that would be perfect as a setting. I had to agree and we quickly got "the shot" of what biking along this trail can be like. I'm hoping they'll need some fall colors as well and I'll get to redo this series in more depth. #driftlessregion #driftlessarea #wisconsin #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #travelwisconsin #outdoorlife #getoutside #loveoutdoors #outdoorsy #outdoors #getoutdoors #biking #cycling #mountainbiking #mountainbike #bikeporn #mtb #mtbporn #mtblife #bikelife #freeride #bikepark #instabike #bike #bikestagram #biking #cycling #cyclinglife #cycle
Falk WellsSugar RiverCounty Wildlife Area
I found myself meandering my way to do some training Rise Up Martial Arts Academy. I took some random turns and ended up at the Falk Wells Sugar River Wildlife Area. It's a new park, and I only just noticed the sign today. There's a very nice, all new bridge over the Sugar River that still smells "new," complete with sawdust still on top of the snow. While the end of the bridge doesn't lead anywhere just yet (there's a tangle of trees that still need cleared) it was still awesome to know there's a way to the other shore. It's awesome to see Dane County Parks creating new spaces to explore. It was a perfect way to get ready for BJJ today. #midwestisbest #midwestliving #wi #travelwi #discoverwisconsin #wisconsin #wisco #onwisconsin #madisonwi #madisonwisconsin #wisconsinphotographer #travelwisconsin #explorewisconsin #driftlessarea #midwestmoment #conquer_wi #themidwestival #danecounty #wildernessculture #letsgosomewhere #keepitwild #sugarriver #keepitwild #naturalarea #natural #oaksavannah

Here's another photo from my session covering the equestrian trails in Donald County Park. This particular assignment came at a very critical time. On the day before I took this photo I had been at the gym when I I got the call to do the shoot. It was a beautifully sunny week. I really loved the vivid colors of fall that all around our town. I felt like I needed to be doing some sort of promotional shot for the for the local Chamber of Commerce. Not ten minutes later they called me to set up this local travel shot. And then the shoot turned out to be an amazing experience. I got to know a couple of interesting people who were very welcoming to me as well a finally "discover" just how amazing the trails in this park actually are. It has also brought home to me that I really never go into the park directly beside my house. A place I'd once spent so many hours.

Cycling on Military Ridge Trail
Cycling on Military Ridge Trail. This week I was assigned the task of capturing "summery" looking photos of people riding along Military Ridge Trail, and biking in general. It's very late summer here in Wisconsin. Even though we're experiencing a very unseasonably period of summer like warmth the trees are already turning golden and the walnuts are shedding their leaves. I asked a local mother and daughter to model for me and we rode a good 4 miles along the trail until we found an area that still looked "green" enough to look like summer time. All in all it was a lot of fun and makes me think I really need to go biking more often. I'm STILL riding the same bicycle I bought in 1991! #driftlessregion #driftlessarea #wisconsin #wisconsinlife #discoverwisconsin #travelwisconsin #outdoorlife #getoutside #loveoutdoors #outdoorsy #outdoors #getoutdoors #biking #cycling #mountainbiking #mountainbike #bikeporn #mtb #mtbporn #mtblife #bikelife #freeride #bikepark #instabike #bike #bikestagram #biking #cycling #cyclinglife #cycle
