TimKStanton, 3 months ago to sailing Just returned from a week of #sailing, #ScubaDiving, and #snorkeling in the British Virgin Islands. We sailed around a chain of islands, staying at several, enjoying all aspects of the area. Beautiful sights both above and below the water. Had a great time. More pics to come! #Seascape #scuba #swimming #ocean #beach #nature #NaturePhotography #outside #explore #GetOutside #ThinkOutside #photography #landscape #LandscapePhotography Photo taken from deck of our sailboat while sailing toward an island. The camera is low and aimed forward, showing the deck and the lower part of one of the sails. Island is far off in the distance and is dark green. Water is dark blue, sky is light blue with puffy white clouds. Deck and sail are white. Photo taken underwater while I was scuba diving near the seafloor. A purple fish is the object of the photo. It is seen swimming next to a piece of dark red coral that is in the shape of a vertical column. Water is blue and other coral are seen off in the distance and are dark green and hazy. Photo of aerial view of one of the harbors we visited. Photo taken from small plane we rode to and from the British Virgin Islands. The harbor contains many boats. The water is blue and green islands are shown in the distance. The wing of the plane is in the left side of the photo. The sky is blue with puffy white clouds.

TimKStanton, 4 months ago to ocean Had this gorgeous #beach to ourselves this evening on a wonderful #walk into the twilight along the #ocean. #Walking long after the #sunset, our eyes adjusted and we took in the sounds of the surf and glistening of the waves from the remaining glow from the sun. #CapeCod Bay. #hiking #water #nature #ThinkOutside #outside #swim #swimming #backpacking #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #SeaScape #sea #coastal

TimKStanton, 6 months ago to HikingPics Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy these wintry scenes from my hike up to a summit several days ago in the White #Mountains, #NewHampshire. It was a great day to be outside! #hiking #ice #snow #backpacking #nature #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #outside #GetOutside #ThinkOutside #outdoors Photo of two nearby mountain peaks as viewed from summit that I climbed. The peaks have a mix of green trees and snow. Snow-covered slab of rock in foreground slanting diagonally across the image. Sky is mostly wispy white clouds with some blue patches. Photo of mountain ridge as viewed from summit that I climbed. The ridge has multiple peaks and the summit I was on was part of the ridge. A combination of green trees and snow is on the ridge which extends away from the camera. In the foreground are boulders covered with green lichen and snow. Sky has white wispy clouds with some patches of blue. Franconia Ridge. Photo of narrow trail in dense green forest blanketed with snow. The trail extends away from the camera. A small view of the blue sky can be seen at the end of the trail. The trail runs along the ridge near the summit that I climbed and has only a modest grade. Franconia Ridge Trail.

TimKStanton, 6 months ago to hiking Had a blast yesterday #hiking in the winter wonderland of the White #Mountains, #NewHampshire! With the short days, hiked dawn to dusk up to a summit and back. Conditions were perfect—packed snow and minimal ice all the way up and mild temps, no wind. Bare booted going up, wore micro-spikes coming down. More pics to come! #streams #stream #ice #snow #backpacking #nature #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #outside #GetOutside #ThinkOutside Photo of side of rock cliff protruding over valley below. The cliff is dark and covered with snow and ice. Sky is blue with white clouds. Photo taken at summit of Mt Liberty. Photo of bright sun seen through an otherwise dark wintry forest. The trees are bare and ground is completely covered with snow. Shadows of the trees seen on snow. Photo taken just below Franconia Ridge. Photo of stream in snow-covered forest. The photo is taken from the middle of the stream looking upstream. Snow on ground on each side of stream. Brown and tan boulders in stream. Some trees are evergreen and others are bare with no leaves. Photo taken just after sun rise near beginning of hike to Mt Liberty.

TimKStanton, 6 months ago to Battlemaps I enjoyed a nice leisurely bike ride today in a local state #forest. The route took me around a number of picturesque ponds and lakes. I love this area— it is the same place that I go #TrailRunning and #canoeing as well. #cycling #running #NewEngland #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #nature #NaturePhotography #outside #outdoors #GetOutside #ThinkOutside #tree #trees #forests #exercise #reflection #reflections #pond

TimKStanton, 7 months ago to scuba It was a wonderful day at the #beach today! With these great conditions, I suited up and went #ScubaDiving. I love exploring the #underwater world of the #ocean. And, it nicely complements my #hiking up in the #mountains. #scuba #water #nature #ThinkOutside #outside #swim #swimming #backpacking #NaturePhotography #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #SeaScape #sea #coastal

TimKStanton, 10 months ago to sailing Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy this picturesque harbor that I saw at #sunset last week during my #sailing trip. The harbor is inside an island, which is part of a chain of islands that are five miles offshore. This is one of my favorite places to #sail to!

TimKStanton, 10 months ago to ocean Look at how calm the #ocean is here! I spent the afternoon at this #beach today, first open ocean #swimming, then relaxing. This is the same shore that I spent the day #cycling along earlier this week. There are many ways to enjoy this area!

TimKStanton, 11 months ago to ocean I spent the day today enjoying the #ocean— began with an open ocean swim of 0.9 miles in #CapeCod Bay, then relaxed on the #beach, followed by a scenic walk on the canal that connects to the ocean. A great day!

TimKStanton, 1 year ago to photography I hiked five miles along this gorgeous #river earlier this week before the #trail turned up into the #mountains and then followed a small #stream. The mountain peak that I later summited is seen off in the distance. I love rivers! #backpacking #trails #NewHampshire #NewEngland #streams #hiking #outside #outdoors #beach #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography #exercise #fitness #HealthFit #ThinkOutside #travel #nature #tree #trees #forests

TimKStanton, 1 year ago to photography I just now returned from my first multi-day #backpacking trip of the season! Set up base camp 2,000’ below one of the summits in the White #Mountains, #NewHampshire, summited the next day, returned to camp for the second night, then hiked back to the trailhead on day 3. As expected, I experienced varied #trail conditions from dry dirt to mud to #ice and #snow. Had a blast! #hiking #trails #nature #explore #outside #outdoors #ThinkOutside #photography #landscape #LandscapePhotography #travel Photo of me standing alone at summit of Bondcliff peak. I am wearing a broad rim hat and backpack, and holding two trekking poles in one hand. Rock slab begins at camera and extends to where I am standing. Distant mountains are viewed at horizon. Rock is greenish gray, my jacket is blue, and sky is blue with clouds.
