A tranquil walking trail around Fireman’s Lake. The well-designed trail also includes a nice boardwalk section and a graceful pedestrian bridge over a pond. Walking is something that often allows me to sort through any troubling thoughts and store them a way for later. At that moment the rest of the walk becomes a time…
Cattails along the shore of the Ottawa River, which separates Quebec and Ontario here at Lacroix Park. The name Deux-Rivières refers to the exact meeting point where the Maganasipi River flows into the Ottawa River, thus two provinces and two rivers is an appropriate title for this capture. Getting up close enough to the cattails…
Summer sunrise above the Harmony Grove channels. With a blank pallet, the Great Artist had some fun with early morning brushstrokes that were playful and vibrant. As I walked out and saw the emerging artwork, I was taken by the unexpected view. It was a wonderful early morning treat. (Lodi, Wisconsin). ≡Canon R5/RF24-240 70mm f/6.3…
A historic moment in history is recaptured daily in the Great Basin northwest of Salt Lake City, where the Union Pacific (east) met the Central Pacific (west) at Promontory Summit in 1869. Up to this event, crossing the United States coast to coast took months. Suddenly, after this final connection was completed, the feat could…
The Prince of Wales Hotel was built in 1864 and was renamed in 1901 and 1910 after visits from very special royal guests. Queen Elizabeth II also stayed here when she visited Canada in 1973. When we first arrived, it was quiet and the sun was just getting above the buildings. That helped make this…
Beach walks along Florida’s Atlantic Ocean coastline. For many, the constant roar of the crashing waves somehow creates a calming effect. I love to fall asleep on a blanket to that sound. Screen required. (Palm Coast, Florida ≡Canon R5/RF24-240 193mm f/6.3 1/1600sec iso-100
The high-alpine Lake Marie nestled in the Snowy Mountains, where harsh winters give way for a few months each year for regeneration – Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. This looked like a place I could get away to for regeneration. (Centennial, Wyoming) ≡Canon R5/RF24-240 52mm f/10 1/100sec iso-100
Ample summer rains supply the high alpine streams and waterfalls just east of the Continental Divide at Logan Pass – Glacier National Park. As I was setting up for this shot, I saw three distinct flows of water. The long ribbon coming down the entire picture. The two little twins in the center. And then…
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need a reminder of what a summer sky can look like, especially on a cold winter day. Lake Wisconsin with the Baraboo Bluffs in the distance. (Lodi, Wisconsin) ≡Canon R5/RF24-240 70mm f/20 1/100sec iso-250
