exploring nature’s infinite connections
This is my 10th collection highlighting some images from the past year. For as fast as time seems to pass, looking back on 10 years of favorites seems to bring up a lot of moments that seem so, so long ago. This 10th set carries some simple themes that I visit...
G is for Green It is no doubt a color that symbolizes 'nature' to most people. It is a color we look forward to after a long winter. It's psychology is associated with balance and harmony. I also find it a soothing pick for the AtoZChallenge's 7th day as the...
I think it is pretty safe to declare at this moment that fall color is officially over. Temperatures in Michigan have been below freezing for a few days now, and it is a good time to turn on a little old blues music, and catch up on some processing and organization...

One might find it hard to link these two things, but it just so happens they are somewhat linked in this photograph. This image is a result of my trip to Magee Marsh to photograph warblers, and mistakenly not checking the weather forecast before I headed down there...
I never understood why this wildflower is labeled "purple" - I am thinking whoever named it had some color issues. Similar to normal large-flowered white trillium, I have photographed this species so much that it is difficult to think up some new way to portray...
