There are a few of our local parks that I visit pretty regularly. One of my frequently visited spots is Sperr Park. I love it here any time of year, but the spring is particularly beautiful. The flowers planted here are starting to bloom and these beautiful flowering trees are in full bloom. These trees are bright and majestic. I love them. There don’t seem to be many places I have come… Read More

Flowers are always beautiful. Flowering trees have a special allure to them. And even more fantastical are wild growing flowering trees. Wild Dogwood Trees are among my favorite plants. I appreciate every opportunity I have to photograph their beautiful blossoms. The flowers don’t last very long after they emerge in early spring. I am fortunate enough to have some that grow right near my house, but I am always excited to be… Read More

I love apples. I eat them regularly. They are a staple of my diet. And they are delicious. It is always fun to get out and see apples before they hit any store shelves. They are a beautiful part of nature. Going out and picking apples is a fun way to get some exercise, enjoy nature, and choose your own delicious food. Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 60mm f/2.8. Focal length 60mm…. Read More

Sometimes I get the idea to try and do something well outside my normal style of photogrpahy. During the holiday season of 2021 I decided to try and do something interesting with lights. Holiday decorations were all about. I decided to see what I could do. Placed lights outside on the ground to illuminate the main subject, the tree. Then I triggered the camera for a 30 second exposure. And I walked… Read More

I love to camp. My favorite places to camp are ones where the campground itself lends itself to photography. Nice scenic locations. Higley Flow State Park worked out really well for me. Most nights I walked down to the lake to photograph the sunset. I like to experiment and try to incorporate different elements into my sunset photography. I was fascinated by this large tree stump and roots along the lake shore…. Read More

I am not always an early morning person. Especially when I am away from home. But on this trip at Acadia National Park we were camping right near the coast. I knew that there was easy access to this beautiful scenery with just a short walk. I would not have to get up too extra early to walk down and enjoy the sunrise. The sunset photography was within my grasp. I made… Read More

I love to photograph flowers and sunsets. Sometimes I try to get creative and find unique ways to combine them. One of my favorite flowers are coneflowers. I bought some and planted them in a pot and kept them on my porch. It worked well for just such an occasion. The sun was setting over the trees. The sky was getting colorful. I placed the flowers up on the railing so I… Read More

I love to run. If I have my choice I choose to run trails. Often I take a camera with me. There are things I can see out on a trail adventure that I may not see any other time. I may explore in ways on a run that I don’t other times. Longer, farther on the trail. Not where I would normally think to go with my camera. A couple years… Read More

I live in an area of rivers. So it is surprising to me how little landscape photography I have featuring rivers. Especially compared to other types of scenery I have photographed. This image is a nice combination of two things I don’t photograph enough. A winter scene and a river scene. I like how the sun is trying to power through the clouds on this cold and storming day. The light from… Read More

I haven’t gotten out for winter photography as much as I would like over the years. When I do get out I usually keep it local. I enjoy investigating what some of my favorite local sites look like in winter. So much can change over the seasons. One of my favorite places to explore is Tanglewood Nature Center literally across the river valley from my home. There are a wide variety of… Read More
