I named our property “Storm King”, named after this 100 plus year old White Oak, that had weathered many a storm as well as the high elevation that gives us dramatic views of the sky and every approaching storm. Walking to my studio, the sun just came out for minutes and there he was this powerful, regal tree, glazed in sparkling royal diamonds.

This tiny frog fled as I tried to photograph it, finally stopping on this grass blade. I photographed it just as it was ready to jump again with its little but powerful legs.

The fountain and statues were hidden and transformed by massive amounts of gentle snow landing on them, they all knew each was nearby yet it looked like they were hiding from each other in some sort of disguised form.
