Tentacles of haphazard branches spring from a garry oak tree just outside my window. This old gnarly tree is covered in moss and just beginning to bud. Sunset unfolds beyond the branches bringing soft pastels with the tiniest touch of blue

This is the iconic Valley View in Yosemite National Park on a snowy day a couple weeks ago. Snow blanketed the entire park. What a glorious but cold day to shoot. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #mountains #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #reflections #Yosemite #NationalParks

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

Good question, Ken. There were so many amazing instruments there… I don’t remember if it was a guitar or a lute.

A rain-filled puddle lies on a brick-paved walkway, its irregular shape stretching diagonally across the frame. The reddish and brown rectangular bricks, darkened by moisture, form a textured border around the water. Inside the puddle, the reflection of a tall, narrow church steeple rises upward, tapering to a point; the tower beneath the spire appears pale yellow or tan, with a darker circular opening that suggests a clock face or louvered window. Bare tree branches spread across the reflection like a web of dark lines, indicating leafless trees overhead, likely in late fall or winter. Raindrops strike the puddle’s surface, creating small circular ripples that gently distort the reflected steeple and branches. The overall mood is quiet and wintry, with cool gray tones in the water and sky contrasting against the warm, wet bricks.
