Nearscape Photography: Thinking About Summer
In the middle of February, with snow still covering the ground, I find myself thinking about summer. A late July evening and a single Midnight Gold Petunia in my backyard become a reminder that beauty close to home is never truly out of season.
Between Stillness and Motion
Early November along the Chesapeake brings fewer people and a sharper edge to the shoreline. Wind, water, and empty spaces shape the mood more than any destination.
Morning Stillness at Rocky Gap
A foggy morning walk through Rocky Gap State Park, following the shoreline of Lake Habeeb as muted light, reflections, and calm water set the tone for the day ahead.
Ghosts in the Night
A quiet December walk through Washington, D.C., leads to a nighttime encounter with The Three Servicemen statue, where darkness and stillness reshape how the memorial is seen during a chilly winter evening.
Echoes of Christmas Past
A quiet holiday moment captured through Christmas tree lights and ornaments, focusing on the glow, calm, and satisfaction of seeing everything finally come together.
Icicle Lights and Holiday Nights
Icicle lights are part of my yearly holiday ritual, a tradition built on fresh strands of warm incandescent bulbs and the joy they bring. This monochrome close-up captures a small piece of that magic along with the soft glow that marks the start of the holiday season.
