Every day for the last two weeks color proofs have arrived at our doorstep for the book Treasures Untold. Today this batch arrived and we gave the final nod to the corrections. The book is finally on it’s way to the printer!!!

“There is another alphabet, whispering from every leaf, singing from every river, shimmering from every sky.” ― Dejan Stojanovic

Just back from a week in the Smoky Mountains. I find the edges of the streams and rivers cutting through the forest and filled with boulders very both peaceful and artistically inspiring.

Created this image while driving the backroads. Part of the joy of creating art with my camera is in constantly searching for new images….

I love hiking in the forest in deep fog. Sometimes finding images in these conditions can be difficult at first. This is especially true if you have a preconceived idea of what you will see and photograph.  I have found however, that if I accept the fog, the light and the obscured view, images abound….

Why do I photograph nature? I find great joy in discovering moments such as this in nature, and great satisfaction in sharing them. Maybe I can make someone’s day a little better as a result of sharing an image.

This morning while at one of my favorite sunrise spots, I considered a number of compositions. Then I decided to stand under the tree I was next to and use the overhanging limbs in the image.
