Welcome to the Messin with Nature Photography and Travel Blog! Here, we combine my passion for photography with our shared love of exploring new places. While I handle most of the photography and writing, this blog is very much a team effort—my wife brings her own unique insights and perspectives to the stories we share.
We’re casual travelers based in Pennsylvania, taking a few trips a year when time allows, while also exploring local trails and wildlife. My passion for photography began as a way to connect with nature and focus on wildlife, blending my interest in technology (shaped by a career in the U.S. Air Force and aerospace industry) with my love for the outdoors. For me, photography is not just a creative outlet—it’s a reason to get outside, slow down, and truly appreciate the world around us.
Together, we started this blog to document our travels and share practical insights with other hobbyists and casual adventurers. Whether you’re planning your next trip, looking for photography tips, or simply seeking inspiration to step away from the daily grind, we hope you’ll find something here to spark your curiosity.
Photography teaches us to see the world differently. A single photo can open the door to learning more about nature and wildlife. We invite you to explore our blog for travel stories, photography inspiration, and ideas for your next adventure—or browse our gallery to see the world through our lens.
Let’s discover the beauty of nature together!
