Shepherdess
A portion of the graveyards around Sweetheart Abbey in Galloway Scotland (see image "Loving Arches"). I call this female statuary "Shepherdess" as I feel her role there was to oversee the flock of souls buried in the graveyard, graves that went back 450 years.

Loch Dunvegan Sunset
Evening sunset in spring over Loch Dunvegan on the northernmost part of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Was a break between two massive spring storms, one in the North Atlantic and one coming up the coast of the United States through Ireland into Scotland. No guarantee this break was going to happen. I was hopeful - and it worked perfectly! Beautiful sky colors and clouds. All perfect. The colors are natural too, no Photoshop'ing. That is largely due to this part of Scotland being at the same latitude as Hudson Bay in Canada here in North America. Pretty far north. As all my images, t...
Sheltering Arms
Four years in the making, this beautiful sugar maple (Acer sccharum) tree in full autumn color in the northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan, south of the Mackinaw Bridge.

Valley Fog
Morning fog arising from Stevens Canyon on the southeast side of Mount Rainier. Photographed early summer. Took 3 years to capture the image as all the times fog was predicted in only happened the one time in those 3 years. Fog is magical.

Spiderweb Jewels
Dewdrops condensed on a spiderweb on a cool morning, presunrise to there was not the slightest hint of air movement to shake the spiderweb.

Blue Moon
11 years in the making. I carried a blue filter for 11 years to try and find the right combination of trees, then fog to produce a foggy-night appearance to create this type of "blue moon" image. Mimicing what it is like to go walking at night in a fog with a full moon. One of the most quiet, beautiful and personal places we can be in live.

Ramen Blue
Color-altered image of condensation on a clear glass lid while cooking ramen on my studio burner in winter. Thickest condensation I have ever seen.

I had never seen these types of mushrooms before or since, nor has anyone I know, especially those who collect mushrooms regularly.
