An inviting hot tub in the trees at Treehouse Grove at Norton Creek was the perfect spot to unwind on a crisp fall night after an exciting day of exploration in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

One of my favorite ways to spend a misty autumn day is a creekside hike through the forest, when the soft light makes the forest glow and come alive with countless sights, smells and sounds. Prints Available.
2nd Annual Instagram Fall Foliage Photo Contest
I’m excited to announce that my photo, Fall or Nothing at All, was chosen as the winner of the 2nd Annual Instagram Fall Foliage Photo Contest for NYSDEC.
Fog and foliage is one of the most mesmerizing combinations for photography. As the fog mingled with the precipitous mountains on this autumn morning, I was fortunate to have a flock of geese fly through the mist just as I pressed the shutter, adding a special sense of scale and drama to the already mystical scene.

One of the best parts of an autumn canoe camping trip to Vermont’s Osmore Pond was the ability to be onsite and at the ready to capture the beautiful foliage reflecting in the pond when the wind was calm. On this particular afternoon, the water was so glassy calm that it yielded some of the best reflections I’ve ever seen. Prints Available.
