New Year and a Winter Creek
I spent time along the waters edge of a small creek enjoying beautiful birds, snow covered trees, sounds of the cold unfrozen running water around the snow covered rocks until I happened upon this area that seemed almost magical in it's view from high upon the bank.
Winter Full Moon
The brisk winter mornings are an exciting time to venture out into nature. Crisp clean air, the colors of the winters skies and the promise of full moon slowly descending into the western horizon all make for great opportunities for those who care to enjoy.
The Winter Rose
The beauty of flora is always apparent in the warm months in which such life thrives. But beauty does not end when the cold of the winter month linger. Take time to visit some.
Winter Gold
Textures, detail and color all combine with the glowing sunset to help make such scenes possible. Standing before the glowing ice makes taking a picture seem so inappropriate. Experience in person is the only way to see what was really there.
Views From The Heartland
Views from the heartland. The Tallgrass, Sumac and Flinthills. One of the many pleasures of life on the prairies. As the days draw shorter the lands transform into deep rich colors of nature.
Evening Winter Prairie
Sunset on the prairie nestled in the Flinthills. As the sun slowly dropped over the horizon the eastern sky benefited from the low light coloring the clouds over snow covered rolling tallgrass hills.
Lake Perry Winter
Freezing fog for days at a time helped provide unique scences in and around the midwest. Area lakes frozen over, trees heavy with frozen fog and the snow cover the land.
October Print of the Month – Trail To The Sun | Flint Hills
I had visited this area just days before and knew it was a place to produce a sunrise shot. The factor I didn't know was just exactly where the sun would be rising in relation to the trail. As you can tell I couldn't have been happier. With the trail leading directly into the rising sun the name of the image was clear.
