The sunset on this mid March evening predicted some spring weather the following day. The brilliant colors lasted for less than twenty minutes and contrasted with bright snow still on the ground.

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.

Looking out my back window after a night of dark, wintry conditions and to wake to see the natural beauty of the land looking like someone had left a frosted cake was an astonishing sight- especially after just returning from a tropical vacation the day before. As nice as sandy beaches and palm trees were, it didn’t make me breathe like this did.

The sun rises through the fog over a snowy field. I saw this on my way to work at about 6:30 am and had to make a u-turn to capture the shot.

Was walking the Johnston and Jewett preserves a couple weeks before our big storm. Now, with deep snow and frigid temps, the desire to retreat inside is strong. But this image of a sleeping upland meadow and the Eightmile River valley compels otherwise. Out we go!

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.

While driving north on 156, this rainbow appeared out of nowhere. I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. This is half the image, as the rainbow stretched the entirety of Tiffany Farm.
