exploring nature’s infinite connections
This week, with some time off from the "day job," I have been visiting some spots I haven't been to in a number of years, hoping to check out some local fall color action. As usual, I always seem to end up with something more interesting than what I had initially...

"Hmm, this image reminds me of a forest fire." is what I was thinking when processing one of my few fall color images from this year. I photographed this scene while driving around one morning during our brief getaway to northwest Michigan. I was really looking for...
