Thank you so much for being here. Let me introduce you to Walking With Chuck.
Three years ago, we adopted Charlotte aka “Chuck”. Chuck is incredibly sweet and well behaved as long as she gets plenty of exercise. So, to keep my pup from gnawing the couch, or the baseboards, or the walls, I walk / run / hike with Chuck every morning. I’ve been hiking in the Cleveland area for a very long time and I’m familiar with most of the trails in the Cuyahoga National Valley and the networks of metro parks. We like variety, and we try to mix up our routes on a regular basis to keep things interesting.
My dad was a gifted amateur photographer and he got me my first camera when I was in third grade. I was hooked on photography from the start. I’ve dabbled throughout the years, but I only recently got a solid digital camera and a telephoto lens. It just made sense to take pictures on our daily hikes. I shared my photos on Facebook and was happy to find that friends and family really enjoyed them. They encouraged me to do something more with my hobby.
This blog is that something. Soon, I plan to add a little store with items featuring my photographs. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy following along with me and Chuck.
