Karl and Kathleen Nichter Photography

This blog began in 2009, about a year after we started our photography business. People attending our photo exhibits, or our hikes and workshops, asked for details on where we traveled for photography. As naturalists we usually kept a field journal, so we used that as a basis for Field Notes.
In Summer, 2014 we took a break from the blog because our business, and lives were changing. In January 2015 the blog restarted with an expanded theme. It now contains photography, notes, and articles from all of our travels and all of our photography, not just nature themed. The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

For more information, please click on "About Us" below.

Thank you for visiting.

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park

We visited Topsail Hill Preserve State Park in Santa Rosa Beach, FL the end of November. The state of Florida purchased a private campground so campsites include a sewer connection, a store that sells camp supplies and souvenirs, and a shuffleboard court provides entertainment for campers.

Of course, the primary attraction remains the 3.2 miles of secluded sand beaches complete with dunes and coastal dune lakes. A regular tram service runs to take you to the beach about 3/4 of a mile from the campground. We found it a very pleasant walk.
