Marcela, The Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil
Marcela, named by the Jaguar Identification Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, is a descendant of a line of tree-hunting jaguars in the Pantanal. During the dry season, the cats come down to the river to hunt the caiman that populate these waters. She waits patiently on a tree branch, watching from above, then leaping into […]
20 Miles Of Cascades, Ashford, Washington, USA
I hiked 10 miles near Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park this past September. While hiking Mazama Ridge, I saw this wide-open view of the south-central Cascades that I’d never seen before. I stopped and captured this image. At the time, the image didn’t seem that significant (as cool as the view was), but as […]
Afternoon At Baring Falls, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
We took a boat ride on Saint Mary Lake while visiting the east side of Glacier National Park in August of 2025. The wind was quite strong and the lake choppy, but the boat captain was able to bring us ashore skillfully for the short hike to Baring Falls. The falls are on Baring Creek, […]
Striking Sunset, Riviere Des Prairies, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on September 28, 2025, at 06:21. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify local sunset and sunrise locations that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather forecast […]
Lake Skadar Reeds, Montenegro
Lake Skadar is one of the biggest bird preserves in Europe. My wife and I had planned to get there at an optimum time to see and photograph the birds. No such luck! What we did find was a beautiful lake, with or without birds. The shot was taken from a boat, and the passage […]
Notchtop Mountain Reflections, Estes Park, CO, USA
We had an unusually long fall in Colorado last year. I was able to make this hike happen because, while there was rain in the forecast, it didn’t appear to be long-lasting. I set out to make my way up to Lake Helene in Rocky Mountain National Park and was getting splattered intermittently along the […]
Dreamed Sunrise, Plage de l’Est, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I took this photograph on August 28, 2025, at 06:20. The result reflects two fundamental elements of photography: careful planning and familiarity with one’s gear. As mentioned in a previous publication, I used The Photographer’s Ephemeris to identify a local sunrise location that I could reach in less than twenty minutes. The weather forecast was […]
Northern Lights Over Colorado Springs, Garden Of The Gods Park, CO, USA
This was such a fun and beautiful night. My friend alerted me to the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights here in Colorado, so I headed over to Garden of the Gods Park as it was getting dark. As soon as I arrived, I checked whether my phone camera was picking up the lights. To […]
Raindrops On Cypress Tree, Santa Cruz do Douro, Baiao, Porto, Portugal
Last October, on a grey and rainy day, I marvelled at seeing raindrops falling from the leaves of a cypress tree that stood by the side of the path where I was walking. The water trickled very slowly down the leaves, forming large drops that then fell. The atmosphere was perfectly still. I used a […]
Creation, Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii, USA
I had been quietly watching the subtle changes posted on the United States Geological Survey website; small shifts in tremor, pressure, and glow that hinted that something larger was coming. When the eruption finally announced itself, I packed my gear and headed toward Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, knowing that moments like this are fleeting and […]
