Crushed Bricks

In the aftermath of some flooding, the banks of this little brook are suddenly lined with crushed bricks. I cannot imagine where they came from, as they were definitely not there before . . . but what a gorgeous color!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful new year!

Pears

Bought a bag of pears, and at the bottom of the bag were two pears with their leaves still attached, so couldn't resist . . .

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.

Shadows on a Bench

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!

Morning Reflection

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.
