Took this image in an area near the Appalachian Trail. I had been photographing more broad landscapes, when the ice formations covering the rocks caught my attention.

This image is just one of those finds. I was walking down an old abandoned road near my home and came across a frozen puddle. The ice was exceptional clear, and just below the surface you could see the leaves frozen in-place.

Though I now make my home in Sarasota, Florida, I'm originally a Maine native. I've been capturing images of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, Western U.S, and Europe for over thirty-six years. Whether hiking, on my skis or snowshoes, or in my kayak, my camera is usually never far away. My basic photography interests are nature and landscape, but will never pass-up an opportunity to photograph whatever catches my eye. I've displayed my work in galleries and shows throughout my original home state, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and now here in Sarasota, and have had work appear in the pages of publications such as Maine Fish and Wildlife, the calendars of Down East, Maine Geographic, and Maine Scene. I was also selected and showcased in Nature Photographer's Annual Review, titled “In Celebration of the Earth”, a review of both amateur and professional photographers from throughout North America. Like many photographers, I started out with film and have now made the transition to digital. I really enjoy the flexibility, creativity, and control I have over the final image, and want to share that result with the viewers of this blog.
