I love places where nature has been left unexploited for a long time.
The impact of weather fascinates me. Many of my landscapes share these features.

Had been on an overnight camel trek into the Moroccan desert. Saw this herd of camels heading over the horizon. Out there its just you, the sand and the sun. Oh, and the wind.

Foggy morning on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Annoyed at first by the fog, I realized it could be the subject.
Robins and Holly Berries
January, 2016
JH0116A-WR
We have this huge holly tree by our house. Every winter at some point the birds decide to go for the holly berries. In a couple days they’re all gone. It’s usually the robins who kick it off by showing up in a flock. This time they arrived in a blizzard. The local birds decided to join in as well, see Bluebird and Holly Berries in Animals.

Hurricane Earl grazed Barnegat Light the night before into the next day. Even at dusk Earl was still kicking up a strong wind, fighting the breakers as they crashed!

Capturing the enormity of old growth trees is a challenge. This is a view of the trunk of very large tree in a grove of old growth trees along the Lover’s Lane trail to Sol Duc Falls on the Olympic Penninsula.

Hurricane Earl grazed Barnegat Light the night before into the next day. At dusk the sun came out even with Earl still kicking up a strong wind. These girls stayed huddled in their walk, it was that scary!
Snow at Jug Hollow
February, 2014

I’m being sentimental here. I love our barn and the farm is lovely in the winter. Really an attempt to capture snow flakes.
Tree at Binky Lee

A Natural Lands Trust property. I love the way this tree and the dead grass show you how the wind blows.
