…flashing white petticoat flounces
flirting with the stalwart ebony rock face…

Water at Camp: Photos of Long Lake
I love the many faces of the water at Creative Arts Camp: ever-changing but always lovely!
Photos from Our Schoodic Peninsula Bike Ride
The Schoodic Peninsula bike ride on the northern (more remote) part of Acadia National Park is one of my favorites. And it just got better!
Photos of Maine Tide Pools
The tide pools we saw on our recent trip to Maine were wonderful little worlds unto themselves.
Hike to Upper Yosemite Falls
It was outstandingly gorgeous, and all the effort was fun and rewarding. An afternoon well spent and happiness all around!
Hike to Lower Yosemite Falls
The water was very clear, the air was brisk and invigorating, and the whole simple hike deeply nourished the soul.
Canoeing with Nancy
I loved the company, the meandering pace, the reflections, the swirls of plant life under water, even the texture of the algae.
Athabaska Falls
On our way out of the Canadian Rockies, we visited Athabaskan Falls. The stairs set into the rock the water had carved were almost as cool as the waterfall! We are now heading east across Canada home…
Close Up Water Photos in the Canadian Rockies
I came here for mountains, but my new appreciation is for the water in all its variations. The remarkable pool color water comes from silt they cal “mountain flour” which changes how light refracts off of it, creating every hue from celadon and emerald, with a lot of turquoise and teal in between.
Lake Louise in Banff
We returned three times to try to get a good view of Lake Louise. The first time, I exclaimed to our daughter, “This is a cathedral and (motioning to the glacier) there’s the alter.” It was so glad to be back.
Johnson Canyon
With threatening weather and the mountains we came to see obscured by clouds, we opted for a canyon hike.
Along the King’s River in King’s Canyon
We enjoyed meandering along the King’s River in King’s Canyon. The rushing sound of this water is one of the audio snap shots I bring with me as a treasure from this trip.
Photos from a Rugged Hike to a Waterfall
The weather today was the best we’ve had. Our youngest daughter and I enjoyed this hike to this waterfall in Redding, Connecticut, even though the way was not easy. Here are my photos from the day. We delighted in frogs, skunk cabbage, and vibrant moss. Once at the waterfall, we took the time to sketch it.
Early Fall Reflection Photos
As many of you know, I love reflections– metaphorically, spiritually, and even literally. Here are photos of some of the literal sort that I’ve have the opportunity of enjoying recently.
