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…

Harem in Paradise
The Yellowstone River flows northward through Montana’s Paradise Valley, winding its way through farms and ranches. On my recent visit, I saw a number of pronghorn, but they were always rather distant. I did, however, come across plenty of elk within reach. The bull elk above was keeping an eye on his ladies and (presumably…

Mammoth Hot Springs
After spending most of the day photographing in the Paradise Valley, Montana, I found myself at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It was late in the afternoon and Yellowstone is a massive park, but I knew that Mammoth Hot Springs was only a few miles from this entrance. It was going to be…

It Fell Over Boulder Falls
A long-time friend, Erik, visited from Massachusetts last weekend. Over the years, we have been on a number of notable photographic adventures, including exploring Ragged Top in the Ironwood Forest National Monument northwest of Tucson. (That’s a very old post, so I apologize for it’s different look and feel; beautifying the prehistoric posts on this…

Paint Mine Proboscides
Just over a week ago a clickbait video appeared on my YouTube feed touting a “Hidden Gem Near Denver!” That hidden gem is Paint Mines Interpretive Park, a county park in El Paso County, Colorado. If online sources are to be believed, the park is almost 25 years old, but the park seems new and…

Peak of Spring
Back in May a long-time friend came to visit and he suggested driving to the top of Pikes Peak. From my house, it’s about an hour to get down to Colorado Springs and about another hour to get to the top of the mountain. The image above gives an idea of what the road is…

Vancouver Island Wrap
I declared that last week was the penultimate post in this series, which makes this week the ultimate post, and it is. Whether it proves to be your favorite post or even your favorite ultimate post remains to be determined, but feel free to let me know in the comments regardless. The image above is…
