The Moon
It's time for another Everyday Adventurer spectacular! I finally have my first good pictures of the Moon! Do you want to know how I did it? Believe me, with my knowledge of photography, it didn't start off easy. Before I tell you the easy solution, ...
Transformation
It's over. It's all done. To me, Halloween marks the true end of warm weather, and even summer. I know that summer has long passed us all by, but this was the day that I consider the true time of transformation. Winter will soon take hold and freeze...
Poll Results - Your Favorite Season
Here it is, time for the results to another thrilling poll by your Everyday Adventurer! This one was a question of time. And it was a question of what time you like. Time passes for all of us. We notice this passage of time in to oddest ways. One da...
Look Up
Now for something totally different! I took these pictures on a whim when I was standing in the forest. I just happened to look up and decide to take a few pictures. I had no idea how they would turn out but I think I like the results. This first p...
The View
I want to talk about something that I'm not sure I ever have before. Oh sure, I've skirted around the edges of it. But what I have here is something that maybe gets to the heart of why The Everyday Adventurer exists in the first place. How could I h...
A Mighty Wind
We had a huge windstorm here the night before my last post came out. Wind isa very powerful force of nature. Even when it's not strong enough to create a tornado or a hurricane, wind can still be strong enough to do serious damage to many different ...
The Geese Are Moving
One of the noticeable things around here at this time of the year is the geese. In the fall and the spring geese come around in hordes. Actually, the technical term isn't horde. For geese it's gaggle, but I don't care, this is a horde. It seems tha...
The Fall Of The Rat
As I walk along my forest path I look around and I see something very disturbing. But not only can I see it, I can feel it as well. Summer has abandoned me and fall is here. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but I have been telling everyone that ...
The Great Battle Of Carpenter Forest
I have an amazing tale to tell you today! This story is about the struggle for life and death. I was witness to one of the great battles of the forest. It happened between several different creatures. This happened to be one of the most amazing thin...
The Ones That Got Away
There's something I like to do when I write my stories here on The Everyday Adventurer. Most of you regular readers know what this is. Whenever I'm describing what I've seen on one of my adventures I like to show you what I saw. If I saw a squirrel ...
Back Online
Today's post doesn't deal with nature. I'm going to write about my computer experiences of the past few days. If you don't like reading about that stuff, I completely understand. I made sure I have some nice pictures here for you so you won't feel co...
Deep In The Forest
Once again I ventured off of the comfort of the trail, and I rushed headlong into the middle of the dark and scary forest! As you might guess, mostly because I'm here writing this post, I didn't run into too much real danger. I did keep prodding the ...
Off The Trail
I have done something that I haven't done very often up until now. I decided to venture off the trail into the wild woods. Most of the time before, I stayed on the path and took in my fill of nature from right there. At the time, I had good reasons f...
On The Trail
Today I want to take on a tour of one of my typical adventures. This is what I see on one of my hikes. I usually go for a few hours a day. For some of you it may seem like a long time, and for others it may seem like a walk in the park. For me it's a...
The Cormorant's Prize
On the day this happened I almost didn't even go near the water to see it. It just goes to show you that you should explore as much as you can, wherever you are. If I hadn't decided to move down to the water near whee the crown of people stood, I wou...
Alone In The Dark
There's one more thing that happened on the day of the big storm that I want to tell you about. There was something in the forest that day that I just couldn't explain. It was a feeling of fear that wouldn't go away, no matter what I did.As soon as I...
The Singing Woodchuck
I was planning on telling you a very different story today, but I just had to tell you about what happened with this Woodchuck(Groundhog) while I was on my way home the other day. I'm sure you have an idea of what I'm going to tell you from the title...
The Great Storm
...And the sky opened up and the rain fell in torrents in the form of a huge thunderstorm. The water of the storm washed away everything from the surrounding land. As the rain began to cease, small creatures began to come back out from their hiding p...
Entrecard Top Droppers Widget
I'm going to give you a very different kind of post today. I am frequently asked questions about some of the things here on my blog such as the sidebar widgets or the design of the site. It has never occurred to me to write about some of these things...
The Nature Trails
Nature trails are one of my favorite places to go. They're a journey and a destination. It's these trails that I travel to get to some of my favorite places, and at the same time they are some of my favorite places.You can accomplish many things by w...
Woodland Hills Pond
I want to show you one of the very first discoveries I ever made while hiking. This is the pond at the back of the Woodland Hills Nature Park. This park was the very first place I ever went hiking, and the pond instantly became one of my very favor...
Times Change
Just recently I told you that I had been writing this blog for one year now. That year has been an eventful one for me. I've been hiking for much longer than that year, but I never took it as seriously as I have this past year. Finding information fo...
Hiking Tips For Beginners
It's time to get serious and make The Everyday Adventurer a little more useful to its audience. My usual goofy posts will continue on most days, but today I want to guide absolute beginners to enjoy nature for themselves. I want to introduce more peo...
One Whole Year
I started this blog one year ago today. I've never done a post about milestones before, and I probably won't do any more. The subject of the blog is not about me. It's about the everyday adventures I have, and the fact that we can all do many of thes...
Sun Bird
As I continue my quest for adventure, I sometimes am able to capture things on camera that are even better than when I saw it. I was in the meadow at one of the parks I routinely like to go, and when I looked up in the sky there was a big bird.This b...
Robin Of The Boardwalk
Even though I just showed you another series of pictures of a robin a few days ago, I want to tell you about this one too. I've told you before that there are very many different types of birds on the boardwalk nature preserve that I recently found. ...
Bzzzzzzt!
I told you a few days ago that I got some good pictures of birds and a lot of other things, but I'm going to give you something a little different today. Something happened to me when I went on my usual hike yesterday. I think it was the worst time I...
A New Discovery
My new GPS that I mentioned in Saturday's post is already paying off. There was a place I saw over a year ago, but I couldn't find where it was anymore. I wanted to visit it, but how could I find out anything about it if I didn't know where it was? T...
What's In A Name?
The animals I meet along the trails on my everyday adventures are wonderful, but there is something else that I see every time. Even if the animals run and hide, the plants still remain right where they are. I lost count on how many times I've chased...
Busy, Busy, Busy
I don't know how much anyone has noticed, but I have been falling behind with a few things on here recently. This has actually been a good thing for me. The reason for this is because I've been spending even more time with nature.I think I mentioned ...
