Foothills of the Tetons
From my first trip to the Tetons, the Wind River Range, and Yellowstone in 1987. Photographed on film with a 300mm lens, which flattened the landscape view.

End of Summer On Plum Island
The crowds are gone, the plovers aren’t nesting, and six miles of sand and dunes were mine…along with a few other folks…very few.
Sunset At Rough Meadows
This evening I had a sense that the light falling on The Great Marsh on the north shore of Massachusetts would be warm and wonderful. I arrived at the newly designated Rough Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary in Rowley a few minutes before a gentle sunset. This 250 acre area of wetland and coastal forest is jointly managed by the Essex County Greenbelt Association and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.

Halibut Point – After A Storm
The granite quarry at Halibut Point in Rockport, MA was operated from about 1840 to 1920. Now part of a State Park, its reflecting fresh waters blend with the hues of the Atlantic beyond the line of trees. Sailors shouted “Haul About” when they rounded this rocky point on Cape Ann, hence the name “Halibut Point.”
Butterflies and Hummingbirds: Small and Beautiful
Weekend photographs of some delicate beauties. Captured with high ISO, high shutter speeds, and extension tubes.
A Road in Paradise
This evening when I took two visitors from California for a walk through the Appleton Farms & Grass Rides in Ipswich, MA, one of them said, “this is paradise.”
Doe and Flowers At Twilight
The first person to identify this diminutive flower will receive a print of this photograph. Clue: each blossom is no more than 1/4 inch across. These clusters were in a verdant wetland near the Ipswich River. Time of year, August.
Annual Homage to the Tomatoes of Verrill Farm
Along with swimming in a clear New England pond or the chilly Atlantic the other great joy of summer is fresh veggies. I never miss the summer harvest at Verrill Farm in Concord, MA where my favorite crops include the sweetest corn, most buttery potatoes, and most colorful and diverse tomatoes to be found in the Boston area.
Gibbs Brook Falls – Crawford Notch, NH
I first encountered the Gibbs Brook Falls on my very first hike through the Presidential Range many years ago. Since then I have photographed this modest and forever-changing cataract many times — first in 35mm, then with my 4×5 view camera, and several times with digital gear.
