Recently added “Early Light in the Blue Ridge Mountains” to my gallery.
The Great Lakes shaped who I am, but the misty mornings of the Blue Ridge feel like home to my heart.

It was a serene and sunny day, and there was no reason to gulp their meal. So they were choosy, wandering through the brush and grass until they found the perfect pieces to nibble.

The geese in the gaggle were gabbling about whatever it is geese gabble about, but the cow in the pasture was silent, apparently grazing, but no doubt thinking deep philosophical thoughts, possibly about the observations that the geese were so intently making.

Regardless, it was a tranquil moment in a peaceful place, all gabbling aside.

Brown Pelican

I found this pelican down along the ocean in La Jolla in Southern California. The bird was nesting on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He/she wasn't very far from where I was at but didn't seem to be worried about my presence.
The look in the pelicans eyes was mesmerizing as it looked up at me.

A symphony of color and calm unfolds along the Boise River, where fall’s golden hush settles over water and woodland. Trees blaze in amber and crimson, their reflections dancing in the river’s gentle current. A small weir adds rhythm to the scene, its cascading flow echoing the quiet passage of time.A crisp blue sky streaked with wisps of cloud completes the scene.

Boise River Greenbelt Fall

You are standing along the Boise River in autumn. The air feels crisp, and the sky above is a clear, cool blue with faint wisps of cloud drifting across. On both sides of the river, tall trees glow with the colors of fall—deep amber, fiery crimson, and golden yellow. Their leaves shimmer in the sunlight and ripple gently in the breeze. The water reflects these colors like a mirror, so the river seems alive with light and motion. A small weir interrupts the flow, creating a soft, rhythmic cascade of water that adds a gentle sound of rushing and splashing. The whole scene feels calm and timeless, like nature is pausing to breathe before winter arrives.

Boise River Fall Panoramic

This photograph captures the Boise River in autumn, presented as a wide panoramic view. Imagine standing at the river’s edge: the water flows calmly, reflecting the sky like a mirror. On either side, trees are dressed in their fall colors—bright golden yellows and fiery oranges—almost glowing against the crisp blue of the sky. In the middle distance, a small dam lets water cascade gently over its edge, adding a soft sense of movement and sound to the otherwise tranquil scene. The whole image feels warm and inviting, like nature pausing to show off its seasonal brilliance. It’s both peaceful and vibrant, a moment of quiet beauty framed by the richness of fall.

Reno Balloon Races

The Reno Balloon Race is the largest free hot air ballooning event in the world. This takes place every year in September.
Starting at 7:00 am is the beginning of the mass ascension. This is where all of the balloons start the inflation process and lift off when ready to go. This is a capture of the balloons inflating prior to lift off.

Reno Balloon Races

This photograph captures the Reno Balloon Races, the largest free hot air ballooning event in the world.
Imagine standing in a wide-open field just after sunrise. The air is cool and crisp, filled with anticipation. Around you, dozens of massive hot air balloons are slowly inflating. You can hear the deep, rhythmic roar of burners firing, like giant breaths of flame pushing life into fabric giants. Each balloon is a towering dome of color—bright blues, radiant reds, sunny yellows, and bold patterns that feel festive and joyful.
As they inflate, the balloons loom overhead, their shapes swelling larger and larger until they seem to float above you, tethered but eager to rise. The scene is vibrant and communal—families, photographers, and balloonists all gathered together, sharing in the spectacle. The mood is celebratory, like the world is waking up with a burst of color and energy.
This particular image captures the moment just before liftoff, when the balloons are fully inflated but still grounded. It’s a snapshot of anticipation—the quiet pause before dozens of balloons ascend into the morning sky, transforming the horizon into a living rainbow.

Palace Of Fine Arts In Color

The Palace Of Fine Arts is one of ten structures of this nature built for the 1915 Pan-American Exposition in San Francisco California. There were other structures built of a smaller stature that still survive but this is the largest surviving structure from the fair and it is the only one of two in their original location.

Palace Of Fine Arts In Color

The Palace of Fine Arts rises like a dream from the edge of a still, glassy lagoon—its grand rotunda glowing in warm, honeyed tones that feel almost sun‑kissed. The architecture, with its towering Corinthian columns and ornate friezes, has the presence of an ancient temple, something both monumental and tenderly crafted.

The water below mirrors the structure so clearly it feels like a second world—an upside‑down palace rippling gently with the slightest breeze. The reflection softens the building’s edges, giving the scene a painterly quality, as though the entire landscape is suspended between reality and memory.

Around the palace, lush green trees frame the view, their leaves catching the light in flecks of gold and emerald. The sky above is a deep, vivid blue—clean and expansive—its color intensifying the warm stone of the rotunda. You can almost feel the coolness of the air coming off the water, mixed with the faint earthy scent of the surrounding gardens.

There’s a quietness to the scene, a sense of calm grandeur. The fountain in the foreground adds a soft, rhythmic sound in your imagination—water splashing gently, echoing against the curved walls of the structure. The whole place feels serene, timeless, and slightly enchanted, as if you’ve stepped into a moment that has been waiting patiently for you.

This scene captures a quiet moment on the edge of the Grand Canyon’s East Rim. In the foreground, a small, weathered stone building rests on a cliff, blending seamlessly into the rugged terrain. Nearby, a gnarled tree, its branches bare and twisted, stretches towards the canyon, adding an organic, almost sculptural element. In the background, the vast expanse of the canyon spreads out with layered rock formations in shades of red and brown, fading into the distance. Above, the sky is bright with soft clouds, creating a peaceful contrast to the dramatic landscape below.

Years ago, when our families were young and my parents still alive, we all gathered together for Thanksgiving. Two sisters-in-law had a friendly, annual rivalry for who made the best mashed potatoes.

Today, two of my adult daughters vie for the same accolade.

Good memories are made from good times together.

I do believe I'd like to just stand here for a bit and look out at the landscape, a kingdom of trees encircled by low mountains, one in which there is no palace, no war department, and no king.

A small European Robin with a bright orange breast sits on a branch in a tree, surrounded by foliage in various bright shades of green. Gentle shades of blue, purple, yellow and green blend harmoniously in the colourful background, like the sky at sunrise in the morning.

1. The Blue Ridge Parkway gate near us has reopened after a year long paving project was finished.
2. Beautiful autumn day today with a temp of 60F/15.5C.
3. An immediate sense of peace as soon as I got out of the car and felt the wind on my face and the smell of autumn out here on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.

1. The colors in the UP were at their best — a gift I didn’t expect.
2. The woods in the Hiawatha Forest felt grounding and steady. It was home in my childhood and young adulthood.
3. On a trip shaped by loss, it helped to find a moment of quiet beauty.

Pacifica Sunset

Just south of San Francisco by roughly 20 minutes is the little town of Pacifica. This is where highway 1 starts down the California Coast along the Pacific Ocean.
My wife and I spent a day tasting some specialty beers and walking on the beach down near Santa Cruz. We decided to take the longer, windier way home up coast.
We stopped here to catch this sunset.

Pacifica Sunset

You’re standing at the edge of the California coast, where Highway 1 begins its winding journey south. The sun is low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow across the horizon. The ocean stretches out endlessly, its surface shimmering with reflections of orange, pink, and soft purple light. Gentle waves roll toward the shore, their crests catching the last rays of the day.
The land in front of you is rugged yet peaceful—a mix of sandy beach and rocky shoreline. The atmosphere feels calm, almost meditative, as if the world is pausing to watch the day fade into night. The photograph captures that fleeting moment when the sky and sea meet in harmony, a balance of light and shadow that feels timeless.
It’s not just a picture of a sunset—it’s the sensation of standing still, breathing in salt air, and watching the day give way to evening.

Yosemite Falls Digital Watercolor

One of my favorite views in the country when the falls are running in the early spring.
As the snow melts in the higher elevations the water filters into Yosemite Creek high above the valley floor. As it makes it's way to the edge of the valley and makes it's spectacular drop to the valley floor.

Yosemite Falls Digital Watercolor

Yosemite Falls rises before you like a living watercolor, its cascading tiers softened into luminous washes of blue‑white that glow against the granite walls. The water feels almost weightless — not a photograph’s crisp freeze, but a painter’s fluid gesture — drifting downward in translucent veils that shimmer as if lit from within.

The surrounding cliffs carry warm, earthy tones, brushed with subtle gradients that mimic the texture of watercolor paper. You can almost feel the cool mist lifting from the base of the falls, drifting into the valley air, mingling with the scent of wet stone and early spring melt.

There’s a sense of movement without haste — the falls flowing with the quiet power of snowmelt making its long journey from the high country, just as your description notes about the water filtering through Yosemite Creek before its dramatic plunge to the valley floor.

The whole scene feels like memory and atmosphere blended together — the digital interpretation of how Yosemite Falls would look if painted in watercolor . The softened edges, the gentle bleeding of color, and the luminous highlights give the image a dreamlike serenity, as if the valley is exhaling after winter.

Mirror Lake Boulder

This boulder sits in Mirror Lake underneath the towering walls of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley. The lake is slowly becoming a meadow as the sediment from the surrounding mountains flows down and fills the lake.
This boulder caught my eye in late winter with the nice clean reflection and the deep green water.
