Trees Reflected
Trees reflected in a pond.
Morning in the Sierras
Morning view of the Sierras from the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California.
Thin Ice and Clouds
Walking along the shoreline of McGrath Pond in my home town of Oakland, I was struck by this arrangement of high and low clouds and the reflections on the thin ice and water surface. It lasted for only a brief moment; the three clouds in the upper left of the image dispersed quickly.
Lower South Branch Pond
Lower South Branch Pond in northern Baxter State Park is surrounded by the Traveler range in the east and South Branch Mountain in the west. Summer rain showers and the late day sun through the clouds produced this rainbow over the Traveler range.
Tumbledown
Tumbledown Mountain in Weld, Maine is a rare gem. Not only does it have a variety of trails, but it has a pond.
Milkweed Pod
Milkweed seeds being released from the pod. For some reason I can’t look at the pods without thinking of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Acadia Cobblestones
Cobblestones on the shoreline in Acadia National Park. A “found” still life.
Red Rock
Entrada Sandstone formations in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
Foggy Morning
Early morning fog over Messalonskee Stream creates a multi-layered dreamscape effect common around ponds and streams in early fall.
