On the same day I visited Pulpit falls (from my last post) I went to Fay Falls in Walpole. It's a haul for me to trek all the way over there, so a two-for-one was definitely the plan. It meant I couldn't really explore much beyond the falls, but at least I know where they... Continue Reading →
After Hurricane Sandy blew into the area and filled up our smaller streams and rivers again, it was a perfect time to get out and see them. Some of them I'd just been to (Purgatory) and WOW, what a difference a storm makes. At the time it didn't seem like we got that much rain,... Continue Reading →
When some local photographers wanted to get together for a meetup at Garwin Falls, I was all over it. Garwin is one of my favorite spots and I'd never met any of the folks who were going. An old friend and new friends; how could I say no? The organizer had scouted the falls a... Continue Reading →
When it threatens rain, I head to a brook to see what I can do with it. Sometimes I get lucky and it doesn't rain, other times I don't and I get wet. One of these days I'd like to have a weatherproof camera. My main lens is weatherproof, but not the E-30, and while... Continue Reading →
No matter what Egon says, I crossed. Cold Brook was running very low. I've posted about Senter Falls since I've shot there a few times - here and here and here and here. Boy, I guess I go there a lot, huh? They're always beautiful even when the water is minimal which it was the other day and... Continue Reading →
A couple of years ago, when I first saw photos of Royalston Falls in Royalston, MA, I knew I had to go see them for myself. For the longest time I thought they were on the Tully river, but it turns out that the watercourse is actually Falls Brook. Original, huh? Hey, I didn't name... Continue Reading →
Crazy, huh? Spring is so...springy. The two Ws are just irresistible - wildflowers and waterfalls. I've shot these particular falls before, but after a big storm knocked branches and whole trees down so the cascades were a mess. When I saw fellow photographer Jeff Newcomer's recent post about Garwin falls, I saw they were clear... Continue Reading →
Before I head out today in quest for more wildflowers, I'll share a couple more favorite spots. First is Senter Falls on Cold Brook. Why the heck they're called that, I don't know. I suspect my friend Mike made it up. It's a relatively popular location for local photographers and I've shot it several times.... Continue Reading →
Because the forecast called for overcast skies with a minimal chance of rain, I decided to take a ride over to one of my favorite little conservation areas to see if the brook was flowing and if there might be any wildflowers about. Pulpit Rock is about 20 minutes away and, while small, gave me... Continue Reading →
This year we've had so much rain that the waterfalls are still flowing mightily. Strange for this time of year when most streams, rivers and brooks are quite low. Makes for some fantastic photography though and of course I was out there. This is Mill Brook. Yeah, original huh? There is still a semi-active mill... Continue Reading →
