Siesta Key at sunset and moonrise

...

After completing my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail I made an unexpected move from Michigan to Sarasota Florida.

  • Ancient Live Oak in Tickseed

    One of my favorite places in Florida was Myakka River State Park. It is teeming with dangerous wildlife and gorgeous fields of flowers.

  • Siesta Key Beach

    I loved this beach for Its nearly 100% quartz-crystal sand. Even on the hottest gulf days it remained cool and soft. some days it felt like walking through clouds.

  • The Lesser Known

    Florida is an incredible sanctuary for wildlife and ancient trees. I spent many days out hiking and biking wilderness areas.
