Amidst the Islands

Afloat in the blue in the middle of Squam Lake, the Yard Islands are a watery gem!

The Sky in Squam

Easter evening on top of Rattlesnake, greeted with the calmest view of Squam Lake I've ever seen!

Meeting the Sunrise...

Kayaking to meet the sunrise on Squam Lake.

The Lily's Calm

Coppery Morning

Make a wish...

Little Squam Lake aswirl in early winter color.

You could dive up, or you could dive down. Five Finger Point, Squam Lake, NH.

A glorious summer morning at Smarts Brook.

Serviceberry blossoms contrast with the blue of a mountain stream in early spring.

Riverbed colors in late winter, East Branch of the Pemi, White Mountain National Forest, NH.

An early April morning casts golden reflections on a perfectly calm Perch Pond.

A Zen pool of rock, water, and maple flowers near Fletcher Cascades in Waterville Valley, NH.

Kickin' it Monet-style at Quincy Bog in Rumney, NH. It's just like a painting!

Little Rafts

Red rafts slip downstream and transform into a blue swirl. There's so much to like about this alchemy. Walter-Newton Natural Area, Plymouth, NH.

On the Edge of the World

...or so it seems, at the end of the day. Taken at the still-frozen Ashland beach looking out on Little Squam, Red Hill glows technicolor in the setting sun.

The Sunset Cart

I pass by this cart beside this tiny little pond every day on my way home, and, on this summer evening, everything was just right.

Paint Pots

I admit: I tried for several minutes to capture this with a slow shutter speed, and it wasn't...quite...right. One shot with a faster shutter: perfect! I'm loving the thread of blue circling the rock, the blast of red in the center, and--most of all--the submerged gold leaf just above and right of center.

Chocorua Lake, perfectly calm in a glory of fog.

This wee fellow was so young, it had no fear. I promise you: no pre-arranging of newts occurred during the photographing of this guy.
