One of my favorite ways to find new conservation land/nature trails is to open up the Gazetteer and see what's nearby. By coincidence I ended up going to the Prairie Dells scenic area in Merrill which is a place my husband visited, and sent me an iPhone picture from, when he was here scouting the territory...

February, being cold, blizzardy, snowy and miserable I didn't get out much. March is different. I've been out a couple of times and look what I saw - Sunlight in the snowy forest can take on so many aspects. Shadows on smooth snow is one of the best though. This one is from the Pulpit...

Recently a joint venture between the Piscataquog Land Conservancy and the Francestown Land Trust resulted in the acquisition of 149 acres of land under easement and protection from development. The official name is Diane and John R. Schott Brennan Falls Reserve, but I think folks will refer to it as The Brennan Falls Reserve or... Continue Reading →
In the last couple of posts I talked about learning a hard lesson about light. That is not to fight it, but to work with it to make the best of my time and my photographs. Letting go of that perfect image you have in your head is hard. We go out trying to get... Continue Reading →
Spring, spring, glorious spring. Yeah, I'm a bad blogger, I know. Honestly though, I hardly shot a thing all winter. Zero photos from March. Zero. So I'm making up for it. This is Chesterfield Gorge which is way the frig out in western NH...nearly Vermont. I'd been there in the mid-90s, but not since, but... Continue Reading →
One of the big reasons I wanted to go to Northern California is to experience the redwoods. Sure, I'd been in forests in Big Sur. Alfred Molera and Garapatta State Parks, but those groves, while precious, are small and made up of all new growth. I wanted the big forests and if I got lucky,... Continue Reading →
A while back, I can't say exactly when, I read about Pulpit Falls in Winchester NH. Being a lover of waterfalls I thought it would be cool to add them to my growing portfolio of images. Problem was that not many people had ever seen them or knew where they were. A few pictures came... Continue Reading →
I took a day off this week to do some spring shooting. It ended up being a pretty perfect day. Overcast and not too hot and it didn't actually rain. It had just done though so the colors really popped. Yeah, I was pretty much surrounded by mosquitoes in the Musquash the whole time I... Continue Reading →
And we don't hang out enough. The other day I literally made myself go out in the morning before the fog burned off. I left it too late (of course...I'm so damn lazy) and didn't get as much as I wanted to, but it was a productive 90 minutes. Next time I'll move my ass... Continue Reading →
Hello and welcome to my...what is this...the second or is it third? Well, whatever, welcome to my Best Images of the Year post. It was hell. Either I'm getting worse as a photographer or I'm just more picky about my images, but damn if it wasn't hard to compile my best shots this year. The... Continue Reading →
