The picture is of a river with part of its far side bank. The river is covered by light fog. There are rays of sunlight filtering in through openings in trees along the far bank. The sunlight highlights portions of the fog creating shafts of light that illuminate and reflect from the river.

This picture is about light penetrating dark regions of the Okefenokee Swamp. The bottom of the picture is the very dark water in the swamp with patches of reflected features from the forest. On the left side is a large, gray, bald cypress tree, adorned by gray Spanish moss partially highlighted by the morning sun. The background is the focus of this picture. It is primarily Spanish moss and other vegetation that, with highlights from the sun reach into other areas that is obscured most of the day. The right side is green vegetation and Spanish moss.

This photo is about the Spanish moss that is backlit by the morning sun and is reflected in the very dark water of the Okefenokee samp. On the right side of the picture is a tree that is mostly hidden by green vegetation. There is a long branch that is extending from the tree and it supports a curtain of Spanish moss. There is some green vegetation intertwined with the moss. The moss is partially reflected in the water.

Lake Tahoe in Winter

Sand Harbor in Winter – Perspective 3;
Sand Harbor Beach, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA; APR 2023

In April 2023, we visited the Lake Tahoe area. Coming off record snowfall, the houses on Route 89, along the Western Shore, were buried up to the roof tops. But along the Eastern Shore, the amount of snow was more manageable. The weather was overcast, windy and cold, though there were a few breaks in the clouds. Regardless of the weather, we visited Sand Harbor beach. It was a lovely experience; throwing snowballs, climbing rocks and at rare times, nice light.

Sunrise Over a Foggy Valley

Sunrise Over Foggy Valley – Perspective 1
Rattlesnake Edge Trail Overlook, North Bend Area, Snoqualmie Region, Seattle, Washington, USA; NOV 2023

I was visiting my family in the Seattle area. One day we got up early and went to a spot with great views of mountains and a valley. The only issue was that we were in the valley and had to hike 2 miles up the mountain in order to get to the overlook.

The Rattlesnake Edge Trail is a trail cut into the side of a steep mountain lying in its angle of repose. The elevation gain over the 2 miles is 1160 feet. I’m not ashamed to say that it was a tough climb for me, but I made it. We got there about 10 minutes before sunrise.

Waterfalls in Autumn

Brush Creek Falls, Perspective 1
Brush Creek Falls, West Virginia, USA; OCT 2023

This week I’m sharing some waterfalls dressed in their autumn colors. One, Yellow Creek Falls, I took a year ago on our trip to Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The others were taken on our recent trip to Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Looking Glass Falls is at roadside but is difficult to photograph because it is tucked away in a little grotto and it’s difficult to find a position that provides a good angle. The other falls are tucked away on short trails that require minimal effort if you can navigate rocks and roots as well as some steep descents to the riverside. We had some nice autumn colors but mostly overcast skies.

Two weeks ago, we had the privilege of visiting Shenandoah National Park and some of the surrounding Virginia countryside. The autumn color was in the early stages of turning color. Though not at its peak, it was still wonderfully cloaked in its coat of many colors.
