The author, Jim Buchholz, has always been passionate about outdoor photography, and many of his images have appeared in newspapers, magazines, and calendars. The photos of state parks and forests on this page were captured using his Nikon D90 SLR camera and Nikon DX 18-105 mm lens. He hopes they inspire you to explore these incredible places yourself.
