Driving through the Delaware countryside, our car passed over some old train tracks. I looked left and right, and holy cow was I glad I looked left. There was a tunnel of fall color, cutting through the forest, leaving a glorious passage of light. I pulled the car over, grabbed my gear, and walked back up the road and grabbed this shot. Simply, simply, simply stunning and beautiful.

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend is a meander of the Colorado River found outside of Page, Arizona. On our trip to photograph Antelope Canyon, we took a few hours to see Horseshoe Bend, and I'm sure glad we did! The drop from where I'm standing to the water is over 1000 feet! That's well over 3 football fields. The scale of this geological formation is awe inspiring. We waited on a cliff overlooking the bend for several hours, hoping the light would turn warm and inviting as the sun set on the horizon. At the last possible minute, the shot came together, and I got the shot. While this is a magical place that must been seen in person to fully appreciate it, I am fairly certain that my photograph here does the bend the best possible justice.

Field of Dreams

Driving down a country road and turning into the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, it's hard to imagine what it might look like in person. When you see it, it's even harder to believe it's real. As far as the eye can see, in every hue imaginable, perfect tulips rise up out of the ground in row after row of mixed and solid colors. I started photographing from the flowers from every angle imaginable, but this one was my favorite. The large dormant tree, surrounded by acres of youthful and colorful flowers was a wonderful composition. This image hangs in my own home, framed and matted with a linen liner. Virtually everyone who sees it thinks it's a painting. And I can't blame them. The image is hard to believe.

The Grove

Yosemite National Park is an amazing place. so much so that it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every corner of the park is packed with amazing things to see. To show just how true that is, while we were stopped to refuel our car, I walked off into the woods and came across this clearing. The sun was shining through the trees and it was absolutely silent apart from the sounds of nature. I can't think of a better word to describe it than serene. I grabbed my camera and took a few shots to preserve the memory. I love how the trees divide the sunlight into rays, casting shadows on the forest floor. This photo currently hangs in my living room, and provides us and our guests with a relaxing and peaceful natural scene.
