Michigan Five-O
The title of this post is a nod to the popular TV show of my youth, of which I remember nothing other than the intro and theme song and a single oft-repeated line: “Book ’em, Danno.” While Hawaii was the fiftieth state to join the Union (from which the TV show got its name), it

Southern Colorado Gold
My wife and I are on a mission to see the entire state of Colorado. This isn’t happening at a breakneck pace, mind you, but we are making steady progress. Whenever we drive somewhere new we color in the roads with a pink highlighter on our rather beat-up paper Colorado map. At this point, there

Western Virginia in the Fall
Two weeks after my shooting day in New Hampshire, I was staying for the week in Norton, Virginia, which offers plenty of fall color of its own. The image above is just a tiny piece of endless forests bursting with color. Unfortunately, I was only free for a couple short forays into the woods that

Streamside in New Hampshire
As I continued my one-day photographic road trip around New Hampshire, the rain tempered a bit, but the skies were completely cloudy the entire day. I usually don’t complain about the light—different lighting conditions just give you different things to work with. Since there was no direct sunlight, backlit leaves weren’t going to be on

A Little Pond in New Hampshire
I recently had the opportunity to spend an October day—an entire day—photographing in New Hampshire. If I had to live the same month over and over again, Groundhog Day style, I would hope for October because it is pretty much the best month everywhere. (Except Arizona. There it is February.) Certainly in New England, October

More Colorado Fall Color
Well, fall color is pretty much gone in Colorado now, but a month ago I spent the weekend driving around the mountains looking for it. I had some success, but didn’t find any large aspen groves like I had the week before in Guanella Pass. Most of what I found was smaller groves and isolated

Fall Color over Guanella Pass
About two weeks ago we drove a loop that went over Guanella Pass, Colorado, in search of aspen trees decked out for fall. It was a Saturday and we clearly weren’t the only ones with the same idea. Traffic was really hideous in the little towns at either end of the road over the pass,

Waterfalls Aplenty
The last part of our 2021 fall trip to the northeastern United States was spent in Pennsylvania. I have always found Pennsylvania to be a pretty, if skunk-infested, state with lots of ridges and valleys and forests. This trip was the first time that I had ever visited Ricketts Glen State Park. My planned couple-hour
