I shot these while walking our dog on a crisp morning. Even in black&white, nature is gorgeous:

The Last Burst of Color   5 comments

Now that the leaves are down, I just need to post one more shot that reflects how I felt when watching the leaves turn in Vermont: a veritable EXPLOSION of color!

Forest Oddities   Leave a comment

Only in the fall, when all the leaves are down, do you start noticing some of the other, equally beautiful things of the forest: mushrooms, bark, fungi.

Vermont Colors – Day 3: Panoramas/Vistas   1 comment

Driving along Highway 100 in Vermont, I came across too many photo opportunities to ask my wife to stop for every single one of them. Still, I managed to take advantage of a few, catching the peak season of the famous Vermont Foliage:

I haven’t even been here for 24 hours, and already my camera is bursting with colorful shots of the fall foliage. And according to the foliage report, this isn’t even peak season yet! Stay tuned for more.

A barrel of monkeys in Costa Rica   Leave a comment

Yes, the name for a group of monkeys really is a ‘barrel.’ About 30 were thrashing through the canopy above us this morning at 6:30 in the Arenal Volcano National Park, but these two rested long enough to capture them.

Waiting for Spring   Leave a comment

Despite warmer-than-normal temperatures, I wish the trees wouldn’t look so desolate. Can’t wait for green leaves!

Fall in Connecticut   Leave a comment

Love the fall colors, even though they are not as bright as usual because hurricane Irene covered the trees with salt water, which made them lose their leaves earlier than usual.

Sierra Nevada Tree   Leave a comment

I shot this on a hike in the Sierra Nevada foothills, with a point-and-shoot. I loved the detail and the melancholy mood of a dead tree that could be 1,000 years old.
