Marsh

This wasn't a very colorful autumn as far as the leaves go, but the grasses are gorgeous shades of greens and browns and pinks. In 2008 I made an image of this same spot at the beginning of fall -- click here.

Woolly Bear Says

When the orange section is larger than the black section on a woolly bear, this means it's going to be a mild winter! That would be nice . . . we'll see.

Logs

These fresh cut logs smell as good as they look.

Fall is Finally Here

After a long humid summer, fall is finally here, and the cool air and colorful foliage is very inspiring. I want to be outside again!

Mushroom

Found these gorgeous mushrooms on my lawn when I was about to mow . . . the tops were filled with water from the previous night's rain. I made so many images, it was hard to choose just one. I got this shot by lying down in the grass and getting underneath it.

Grass Grass Grass

I LOVE grass. The colors . . . the patterns . . . just cannot get enough of it. I will be publishing a limited edition photo book on lawns and grass next year. If you want to pre-order a copy, let me know. I will have more information in the next few months.

Sunrise

It pays to go outside early in the morning -- these clouds only appeared for a few minutes.

Snapping Turtle

Opportunities like this make me sooooo happy I always have my camera on hand.

Circles and Squares

Hot summer day in the late morning . . . the shadow of a construction fence is geometrically beautiful!

Walking on a Bridge

Look Up More Often!

You never know what gem you'll see when you look up -- this pattern is an awning over a walkway to a bank, and it reminds me so much of a photo of a bridge I posted a few months ago (click here).

Summer

This view makes me very happy.

Poppys and Iris

Spider Web

Spider webs are well worth studying -- they are marvels of nature and gifts for people who enjoy patterns, shapes and lines. Thank you spider!

Heron on a Spring Morning

Every morning I drive past this pond on my way to work, and I always want to pull over and photograph it, but I'm always late for work, so I keep on going. But on this morning, I noticed the heron walking around on the pond, so I pulled over and took lots of photos, and luckily the heron ignored me and didn't fly away -- they are very shy birds.
