Spiky Green


Green and purple
spiky flower.

2017


Yellow and purple flowers
top the green before
the wooden fence.

2016

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.

Same Valley


Same valley.
Different view.

2017


Behind the camera
towers a mountain peak,
casting a giant shadow
over the whole valley.

2016

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

2015

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

Dying Color


Petals fall.
Color fades.
Life dies.

2017


Tiny pink flower buds
reach above the
red brick wall.

2016


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.

Sunlit Darkness


Sunlight fights
darkness for the
path forward.

2017


Golden light falls
over the green hills
of the mountain peak.

2016


The interaction between the trees
and the clouds appears
to challenge
the mountain's standing.

2015



The sun tears a hole
in the sky
to brighten a dark day.

Red Cloud Building


Red clouds
build over
the mountains.

2017


Love's blue descent
into the distant
future.

2016


The Coffee Master Bracken
creates this art.

2015

The difference in tone, shape, stroke, and composition
between this out of focus picture
and a watercolor rendition
is without distinction.

Duck-Shaped Cloud


The duck-shaped cloud
flies just above the
mountain range.

2017


Sunrise flight
along
the mountain top.

2016

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.

Fallen Wings


Fallen
lost wings.


2017

As morning light fills the sky
the night light continues to shine.

2016

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.

Spring Road


Early morning
green trees
sprout to life.

2017
Texture and color
create lines
of dimension.

2016

Levels of light and form
etch into the sky
the shape
U.

2015


The shadow cast
fills the form
 of this frosted leaf.

Spring Sky

Spring colors
reach the sky.

2017


Dense air
reflects and scatters
the morning light,
creating sharp sun-rays.

2016


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

2015


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

Big, Giant, Towering, Distant


Big building.
Giant mountain.
Towering clouds.
Distant sun.

2017

Soft focus,
pastel peach,
and green with
purple accents.

2016

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

2015
Tiny Ice Canyon


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

Heavenly Steeple


The steeple rises
into the golden heavens.

2017

A golden stripe of color
cuts through the blue sky.

2016


The snow covers,
revealing a pattern
atop the fence.

2015


Blowing fire cloud
breaths from behind
the trees.

Thoughts of Vacation


Idyllic memories
of the summer vacation.

2017


White fence,
green grass,
purple flowers.

2016


Fiery clouds rise
from behind the
mountain.

2015

 

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

Huge Color Wave


A huge wave
of morning color.

2017

Yellow and white flowers
echo the colorful
fire-hydrant.

2016

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.
