Boston, MA (HDR from 5 bracketed exposures)
I recently attended a 4-day GI, liver, and pancreatic pathology course in Boston. I made my way down to the harbor during my first evening in town to get this shot of the Financial District just after sunset.
Pullen Park in Raleigh, NC
I have a half marathon coming up soon. I originally intended to start training 12 weeks out. Then, 12 weeks became 10 weeks. Then, 10 weeks became 8 weeks. I finally forced myself to go for a run this morning. It was nothing to brag about (2.5 miles), but I have to start somewhere.

The William B. Umstead State Park in Raleigh, NC
The runner-up title for this photo is “Home of a Million Tiny Biting Insects”.
I took this photo during a spring hike through Umstead State Park. The location where I was standing was under water the last time I had walked the trails. After several days of rain, the creek had been well over its banks. I actually didn’t think this side of the creek was accessible. The walking trail leads to a pile of large rocks that are stacked on the edge of the creek. The area seen in the photo is on the other side of those rocks. The risk of climbing down the rocks and getting to this spot seemed acceptable so I went for it.
