November’s Waterfall
“The thinnest yellow light of November is more warming and exhilarating than any wine they tell of. The mite which November contributes becomes equal in value to the bounty of July.” – Henry David Thoreau

It’s become a tradition here that Christmas decorations go up on Thanksgiving and the weekend that follows. My wife, Bonnie, says that if we don’t but them up at least this early we will not have a chance to fully enjoy them before having to take them down again — I can’t argue with her [...]

Have you ever had a grand scheme that you thought was a sure winner only to later realize it was the wrong place at the wrong time?
I’m sure this bug’s bright green camouflage sounded like a wonderful idea a couple of weeks ago–not so much now, and certainly not here.

It was overcast and rainy this morning but when I looked out into my neighborhood and saw how the wetness made the fall colors look so vibrant and inviting I decided to drive into Salisbury and take photos–rain be damned.
I took my Nikon D700 with the 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. I also mounted [...]

All the other leaves, even on the same tree, were [...]

On a cool autumn morning I found this Gray Heron fishing along the river bank. It seemed preoccupied with other nearby herons and allowed me to approach closer then usual.

The by-line of this blog deals with the subject of finding balance. As I’ve gotten older, the more I’ve come to realize how important that is.
Even in my photography I try [...]

Recently my photography’s been fixated with leaves, not surprising considering the season.
I’m finding interest in individual or small groups of leaves rather then trees and forests of leaves.
I’m finding imperfections more interesting then perfection, stark contrasts complimenting graduations and natural simplicity conveying beautiful complexity.
Autumns are about transition and change and while personally I’m not [...]

My daughter lives in western North Carolina in the mountain community of Asheville. This area is currently in the peak of autumn colors and she sent me a few photos from an outing she took yesterday.
I think she was trying to make me jealous of the scenery she’s able to walk out her door and [...]
