Late Snow
A late season snowfall on the shore of McGrath Pond in Oakland.
Almost Spring
According to the calendar Spring is only about ten days away, but today’s temperature of 1° and the bitter wind reminds us that winter is not quite ready to give up. Every year I eagerly anticipate the profusion of spring green in the Maine woods as the new leaves begin to appear.
A tree fell
This tree fell in the forest. Did it make a sound? Not sure. I wasn’t there.
Snow!
A foot of new snow weighted down trees and produced a ground cover deep enough for snowshoeing.
Beech in Snow
The leaves remaining on beech trees through the winter provide a hint of warmer color in a chilly snow-covered landscape.
Back Woods in a Snow Storm
A fresh coat of snow covers the trees in our back woods. It’s looking like this winter may bring more snow than last year.
Snow storm
White pines in a snow storm. Winter photography poses new challenges: cold batteries that refuse to work, preventing condensation on equipment, and just deciding on what equipment to take along when it’s not possible to easily change lenses. But the results are usually worth the inconvenience. A fresh coat of snow transforms a landscape, often bringing a new simplicity to composition.
White Pines in Snow
Young white pines with a fresh coat of snow. Winter’s just around the corner here in Maine, and hopefully we’ll get more snow than last year.
Birch Bark
Peeling birch bark makes for an interesting study of color and texture — and in my own back yard!
