The trailhead for Madera Canyon Trail is about 7 miles beyond the McDonald Observatory outside of Fort Davis, Texas. The trail is on land owned by the Nature Conservancy (nature.org).
Strange lighting seen from the Bear Mountain Lodge in Silver City, NM. It is odd because the view is of the eastern horizon, but it is in the early evening (the camera time was two hours off). It seems that the angles of the sun rays should be wider nearer the ground, since they emanate from a single point (the sun) on the opposite side of the sky. I have no explanation for this. Maybe that's part of what is meant by "The Land of Enchantment."
Got to hike with good friends, my wonderful mother and my 22-month old son at the beautiful Falls Ridge Preserve in Ellett Valley, Virginia.

Ferns have taken up residence on a large boulder in New Hampshire's Manchester Cedar Swamp Preserve.
I was fortunate to be asked to come along with the Nature Conservancy for a goat and deer hunt (both are deforesting the highlands on Molokai, causing massive erosion and destruction of the coral reef). For most of the time I sat at the pickup point watching the helicopter ferry hunters and animals back and forth, but when it came time for him to refuel he came to pick me up.
I got a personal flight, just me and the pilot, through some crazy places on the way to his fuel depot on the north side of the island. Terrifying and dizzyingly beautiful
in pine hollow, nature conservancy land in the baraboo hills. very cool area - recovering farmland and great deep glen with sandstone canyons. lots of huge hemlocks growing as well as yellow birch and musclewood. last summer we had a few tornadoes whip through and there are a good deal of trees down through the valley. hopefully it will come back.

(from left to right) Jeremy Nesbold, Adam Hickl and Rob Page watch the movement of the prescribed fire in Fannin, Texas. The team, led by The Nature Conservacy, was working to burn out invasive brush in an effort to allow the native grasses to regrow to help preserve the prairies in Texas. As part of prescribed burns, they set the fire in a manner that allows the smoke to rise into the air rather than waft low where it could obscure roads or visibility nearby.
