Furry Snow Tree


A tree covered
in snow-fur.

2015


This is another composite.
I love how the light and position
of each pic in the composite works.
I used three separate shots for this one.

Awning Icicles


Winter designs its
temporary accessories
to adorn man's
form and function.

2015


Moon, stars ... and man.
Night does not easily
kill the light.

Clear Winner


In any democracy,
the winner is the one with
the most stones.

Go Towering Blonde Man!

2015


The almost ghostly effect of this picture
is a composite of an out-of-focus shot
with an in-focus shot.

Reminds me of a firing neuron.

Red Rushing Clouds


Warm orange clouds
rush above
the single tree.

2015


A strange winter allows for stark differences
between the mountains, the park and the sky.
The mixing of color and light
invites the eye to travel
the distant between foreground and background.

Washing Frozen Foam


The ice freezes time,
a bubbling ocean wave
washing ashore.

2015


This is my first composite,
blending a focused
with an unfocused shot
to great an unnatural glow.

Sound Asleep


After a tough day,
sweet Jupiter-Juice
sleeps soundly
with daughter India
nearby.

A warm January night leaves
 a small stream visible
 to the sky's reflection.

Orange Coral Snow Tree


A streetlight fills
the snow-covered limbs,
creating the illusion.

Tiny Ice Canyon


Built up snow makes
for interesting shapes and perspectives.
fills the form
of this frosted leaf.

Mountain Blazing


Fiery clouds rise
from behind the
mountain.

2015

 

What more can I say?
A peaceful sunrise
is a beautiful thing.

Tree Touches Cloud


It's as if the tree branches
reach out with tiny
ball-tipped fingers
to touch the clouds.

2015


Look close.
The tree branches are growing together,
making a tree-hole.

Ice Art



What is the difference
between this
and art?

2015



The sun slices
through the mountain top
in a rainbow of light.

Sun-Tree


The sun shines through
the branches
in a halo
of light.

The Second Amendment Myth
addresses the misconception at the
root of the debate.

2015


The glistening refection of light
upon the bare branches
of a winter night.

Sun, Clouds, and Trees


The gloomy tones of winter.

color of winter's haze.

Flower Branch


Soft, warm colors to warm
the cold, dark, rough
heart.

2015


The micro-texture of winter.

Reality's Totem Pole


The totem pole starts with man,
then to trees, to mountain,
and ends in the clouds.

2015


Winter's singular promise of hope:
this will eventually end.

Waves of light
pour beneath
the clouds.

Clouds and a Colorful Sky


A window in the clouds
lets the orange light
through.

Second Amendment Myth
Do we really have the
right to bear Arms
or are
Arms for armies?


2015


Walking home in winter with others
is an old tradition.

This wisdom is a moment away 
from the daily distractions
to spend it with 
the important people.

Little Clear Dome


Lining up the mountain ridge
with a little clear dome
emphasizes the coming
sunrise.

is rare to find in
the morning light.

Rusty Gears


How many times to we reach
this point in the year
and feel the rust
slowing the
gears of change?

The gritty steel of resolve
will keep them moving.

2015


The force of nature rises and falls in beautiful form 
to balance the tides of change.

Shattered Reflection


A crushed mirror
reflects the puzzle
of light,
focus,
and texture.

2015


A long exposure captured the night sky and mountains beautifully.
The hardest part was getting the right focus
when there is so little light.

Color-Wave of Clouds


An amazing display of how
sun, clouds, and mountains
interact in just the right way,
at just the right time
to create beauty.

2015


I'm just trying to be myself
in a world full of others.
