It was an overcast day, with intermittent drizzle, but it held off long enough to wander around the grounds of this wonderful place for the better part of an hour. Indeed, the soft light created some opportunity that was a little different, and I’m grateful for it. Regular viewers of my work will be familiar with [...]

Most of these shots were taken in my garden, which up to a few years ago would have astounded folks who know me well. Some of them were taken down the road a ways – I guess I was in a garden state of mind.

So who takes nature photographs at a board meeting? I do. Well, not AT the meeting, but before and after. If you’ve never visited The Lacawac Nature Sanctuary, you’ve got a treat in store. Visit them at www.lacawac.org. You won’t regret it!

Maybe it’s my imagination, but Spring seems late in coming to the woods this year. Here we are at the end of April and except for the forsythia (which is out of place in the woods to begin with) not much around here seems to be very enthusiastic. Ah, well, it will come and then [...]

Most people who visit World’s End State Park in Northeastern Pennsylvania make it a point to find the overlook to the “Loyalsock Canyon Vista,” and it’s worth the effort. On a recent visit, we noticed a sign on the other side of the parking lot (opposite the overlook): “Rock Garden,” with an arrow pointing into [...]

This is not your usual Burnside feel-good, intimate nature or grand landscape entry. This is about you. This show consists of images from a walk around “the block.” My block is basically about a mile around – a half mile along the lake road, and then a mile back on an old dirt road up [...]

I guess this is my first spring walk through the woods, though I had to look pretty hard to find evidence of spring.

Someone gave Phil a list of “towns in the middle of nowhere” in northern and eastern region of Pennsylvania. Phil and I like towns in the middle of nowhere, and heading the list was Leraysville, up in Bradford County. I knew about Leraysville because of the eponymous Cheese Factory. We did not have definitive directions, [...]

A beautiful day in Pennsylvania – just the day for a ride up to Eagles Mere and a return trip through the beautiful Endless Mountains.

I found Stonehedge Gardens quite by accident by playing around with an iPhone app, called “Roadtrippers.” It’s a good app in concept, but the execution – not so much. It did, however, lead me to Stonehedge Gardens, a wonderful place a few miles south of Tamaqua. From their web site: The mission of Stonehedge Gardens is to [...]

Yesterday I had the good fortune to climb up to the top of the Delaware River overlook in the DWG National Recreation Area. I’d been there once before and knew for sure it needed a return visit. It was a challenging hike, but I knew this going in and, well, spring is here and it’s [...]

I came upon a stump of a fallen tree. I looked closely, and stayed for nearly an hour. There is art in them thar woods! There are 14 images in this slide show, and each one stays on the screen for seven seconds – in total, a little over a minute and a half. At [...]

I’ve about had it with winter. Still, I’ve managed to get out a little and find some trees.

I can’t explain it – I have a fascination with ice. Maybe it’s the association between photography and glass and light. Today I took 129 images in about two hours. Cutting it down to twenty was tough, but then I always have a problem with editing. Maybe I got so many today that it’s out [...]

There’s a place nearby that I return to regularly, usually with my partner-in-photo-crime, Phil, because it’s nearby, relatively secluded, and always changing. We refer to it simply as “The Pond,” but the pond is merely the centerpiece of a small parcel of land densely populated with brush, brambles, twisted vines, wonderful trees and underbrush. As with [...]

Cape Cod is one of my favorite places, but I’d never been there in the dead of winter. Got that fixed this past week. These are all from Wellfleet and points north – my favorite part of the Cape. More to come – stay tuned!

We got a light, but sticky snow last night that clung to everything. It made for a nice set of images in black and white (and everything in between, of course).
