I really enjoy hiking. Getting out and exploring nature by foot. I’ll go for just about any type of hiking adventure. But, not too many hiking adventures can compete with hikes that lead to beautiful views from mountain overlooks. Exerting myself to climb up to a view of nature like this is one of the most satisfying feelings for me. There are so many amazing views to explore. I really need to… Read More

I love to explore landscapes. My favorite places to explore are areas that are home to a variety of different types of environments. There is quite a bit to see at the Paul Smiths Visitor Center in the Adirondack region of New York. Wetlands and woodlands. Mountain landscapes off in the distance. Wildflowers and trees. And it is even a nice spot to watch some birds. There are nice trails that will… Read More

In the colder months I do not usually like to get up in the morning and get right outside in the freezing cold for photos. That was one of the best things about my one phot a day project last year. It inspire and motivated me to get outside my comfort zone. Literally and metaphorically. Literally crawling on the ground outside in the morning on a cold day fit right in that… Read More

Winter is a time of year when I can really struggle in creating new photography. I am much less adventurous in winter. And my photography probably suffers for that. I always want to take more winter landscape photographs, but somehow never seem to make it happen. Getting out and actually creating some nice winter scenes always makes me happy and fulfilled. For anyone else whose photography drops off during winter I wanted… Read More

I always like to check out new spaces. This was my first time at Hemlock Lake. I look forward to going abck. I was lucky to have this beautiful winter scene to photograph. Snow covered levee. Frozen Lake. Geese all about. There was a large flock of geese on the lake. There are two flocks of gees flying in towards the lake off in the distant sky. I wasn’t quite sure what… Read More

Always take a minute to look up. You never know what might be hanging over your head. When I get out for photography in winter I like to look for interesting ice formations. Icicles are obviously a good choice when you can find them. Fortunately in our area there are a variety of gorges to visit and look for interesting icicle formations. These icicles were hanging from the gorge wall at Watkins… Read More

If there is any one place that I long to return to it is Alaska. There is an overwhelming amount of beauty to see there. The small slice I was able to see there over a decade ago will live with me forever. That is one of the many reasons I love photography. Create memories you can take with you and live with forever. Getting a close up look at a glacier… Read More

Worlds End State Park is a beautiful location. So many specific locations worth checking out. But it is also worth it to take the time to enjoy a simple forest scene in the park. I love the mixture of colors and subjects in this image. Greens in the foreground and background. The middle of the image is dominated by browns. Trees standing tall creating vertical lines. A small stream at the bottom… Read More

When we first moved into the home where we live now one of the coolest things was the tiny little pond on our property. One of the things I enjoyed the most about that little pond was that Water Lilly flowers grew there. This was one of the first times I ever photographed a Water Lilly. The photo featured here is from way back in 2007. I don’t get to photograph them… Read More

I love going out exploring and finding just a little something unexpected. When we think of flowers we often think of beautiful flower gardens. Wildflowers growing in an open field. Other wildflowers growing along the forest floor often along a path or trail. But nature is full of surprises. Plants and flowers are hardier than we expect. This Trillium flower is growing out from between the roots of a large tree that… Read More
