I didn't take too many "quality" photos, photographically speaking, in 2009, but here's a few nice memories:

A little hike with my son on a warm fall day to the top of a nice local crag:





My wife and I on the same crag on her birthday:



While not a hike per-say, and not outdoors per-say, it was a journey through nature... A little spelunking:



Trying out the new pack for the many hiking trips planned for next year:

Here are some of my personal favorites from this year, in no particular order...



Fishing on the flats in the Florida Keys.



I like this one primarily because of the lightning in the distance.



Paddling through the marsh.



A winter sunrise at the beach.



Marty on the cog tracks.



Sandpipers (?) sleeping on the beach.



A nice day on the summit.



Early morning on the summit.

There are a couple dozen pictures of that same storm/scene, but only one has the lightning.
