We decided to switch up date night and see Galveston from the air.
I’ve spent plenty of time on the island, but it’s pretty wild seeing the Seawall, Strand and everything else from this perspective.
Definitely one of the more memorable date nights we’ve done.
Didn’t exactly tear ’em up, but it’s hard to complain about an afternoon like this. 🎣
Anybody else hike with someone whose only goal is to make it back to the car alive?
This was the opening stretch of our trip through the park. We hiked the Big Cave area, explored a little of the canyon, and caught some incredible views along the way.
Definitely one of those Texas State Parks that makes you stop and remember just how wild Texas can be.
Channel cat, big flathead, redfish and a keeper black drum. Pretty solid night from the kayak.
One of our favorite moments from our trip to Caprock Canyons. We caught these bison casually making their evening commute. 🦬
We filmed the whole adventure: hiking, wildlife and some incredible views around the park.

Would definitely recommend Caprock if you haven't made it out there yet.
Looking for somewhere local to print both large and small formats. I hate using online stores and corporations.
We finally made it out to Palo Duro Canyon State Park and hiked up to the Big Cave. I knew Palo Duro was supposed to be impressive, but I wasn’t prepared for just how massive some of these views are. Definitely one of those places that makes you forget you’re still in Texas for a minute.

Already thinking about going back to see their musical. What trail should we hit next time?
We made it out to Caprock Canyons and I think this might be one of the most underrated places we've visited in Texas. Seeing the bison against that landscape was worth the drive by itself.
We put together a short video from the trip if anyone wants to see more: https://youtu.be/w-B6LiX3dPQ?is=mdMImVDZT2999VOe
Airshows are my favorite. The sound, the speed, the precision, and trying to catch that perfect moment as it flies by.
For #NationalAviationDay, I’m sharing a few of my favorite airshow photos I’ve captured over the years. 📸
Some photos from one of my favorite adventures, kayaking around Assateague and photographing the island’s wild horses from the water.
A few kite surfers spotted me out on the water with my camera and apparently decided it was time to put on a show. It gave me the chance to capture some of my favorite action shots.
Wild horses, kite surfers, the ocean and kayaking. Pretty hard to ask for a better weekend.
Which photo is your favorite?
If you enjoy national and state parks, wildlife, kayaking and photography, follow me here on Reddit. I have plenty more adventures and photos to share.
Caught this colorful installation at TPA. I love airports that make the terminal itself part of the experience.
A few of Galveston Island's feathered residents looking like they’ve had enough of tourists, traffic, and my camera.

Spent last night walking around Main Street with my camera. A few strangers were kind enough to let me take their portraits along the way.
I love street photography, but the downside is I don’t always get a chance to share the finished photos with the people in them.
If you’re in one of these photos, or recognize someone, drop a comment or share this post so I can get the photo to them.
And let me know which shot is your favorite!
Edit: For those who are asking to buy prints: (more photos too!) https://cowboykayker.pixieset.com/downtownhtxstreetsesh/
I would love to see it hanging. Send me a photo on the wall. Never thought this many people would enjoy my art. Feeling blessed.
This was back in March during the Night Light show.
A quick look at Palo Duro Canyon State Park from my trip through the Panhandle. This place is absolutely massive in person, and every turn seemed to give you a completely different view.
One of the highlights from my recent trip through Caprock Canyons State Park. I knew this was the official Texas State Bison Herd, but seeing one this close in person was a completely different experience. They're massive, quiet, and somehow even more impressive than photos make them look.
My wife joined me on last Wednesday's full moon paddle.
Spent some time exploring Palo Duro Canyon this weekend, and I can definitely see why it's called the "Grand Canyon of Texas." The colors in the canyon change constantly depending on the light, and the scale is hard to appreciate until you're standing there.
I brought my camera and probably spent more time taking photos than hiking. 😅
We ended our road trip chasing sunset from the cliffs at Mineral Wells State Park. 🌅
This was our 4th Texas State Park in just 4 days, and it might be the biggest surprise of the trip.
What's the most underrated Texas State Park? I need ideas for our next adventure.
