One of the first waterfalls I was able to hike to earlier this year, on our first road trip since the beginning of the pandemic. This is Sweet Creek Falls, in the Coast Range between Eugene and Florence, Oregon. A one-second exposure, handheld while perched precariously on a rock in the middle of the creek.

Thanks very much for stopping by, and for your continued kind comments and favorites while I've been away. I wish everyone a happy, healthy holiday season!

A three-shot vertical panorama of Pine Banks Pond in Melrose, Massachusetts in early spring, with only a mallard couple to break up the clarity of the water's reflections.

Thanks very much for stopping by, and for all the kind comments and favorites while I have been away. This is a wonderful community, and I look forward to catching up with everyone's images over the coming days and weeks.

The White Cascade along the Tuolumne River, in Cold Canyon along the Pacific Crest Trail in the high country of Yosemite National Park. Thanks to the pandemic, the High Sierra Camps are all closed this year, so I actually had this spot to myself for most of the time I was there.

Thanks very much for stopping by, and for your continued kind comments and favorites while I've been away. It is all greatly appreciated.

Heading into a summer storm along US Highway 50, southeast of Ely, Nevada. An iPhone shot from my recent travels.

I'm headed into the digital darkroom now to start working through the shots with my "real" cameras from the last couple of months, which I should be able to begin to share on here soon. It was so great to finally be able to get out and travel this summer, seeing so much of this remarkable country – I don't think I realized just how much I missed this over the past year and a half.

Thanks very much for stopping by, and for each of you who has stuck with me while I've been away. I hope you and yours are save and healthy, wherever in the world you might be.

Pausing for a brief break in the midst of a high-speed descent of Yosemite's Panorama and Mist Trails during my recent travels. This day got up to 109ºF, so I had to make sure I was up early and finished as soon as possible, particularly given what a real thigh-burner this hike is.

An iPhone live long exposure photo created in-camera/phone, handheld (with heart rate pumping in the 150s).

Thanks very much for stopping by, and for your continued favorites and kind comments while I've been off traveling and making photos! I'm back home now and I'll be catching up with everyone over the coming weeks. I hope you're all healthy and happy, wherever in the world you might be.
