The clouds in this shot were just unreal. It had just finished raining on us on our way back down from Corona arch.

This is a HDR Image of the sunset taken from our campsite just outside of Moab, UT. My tent was just to the left of this shot :) . It is so beautiful there. My attempt with the HDR here was not to go crazy, but to use the HDR to capture the multiple levels of light without either washing out the photo with the sun or making the foreground too dark. I think it worked extremely well.

Sandstone towers and billowing clouds just off of Highway 128 on the way to Moab, UT. And a few cows for good measure.

A HDR shot of the Independence Monument from the top of the Colorado National Monument. I love the way the whole image seems to have a light pastel tone to it.

This is a shot taken from the top of Mt Evans in Colorado. Mt Evans is a 14er, or is 14,000 ft above sea level. This specific spot is at an elevation of 14,200ft. From this height, you can easily see for miles and miles. Even all the way back to Denver, if you are looking in the right direction. This vantage point allows for some spectacular views of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains below it.

I enjoy water reflections, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to take this one home. This is a river in a rural area of western MA. For those of you who are not familiar with western MA, we have a lot of beauty in our forests, parks and rivers here. This particular day the sun was especially helpful, and I was ready to capture it.

I was photographing Cranes Beach, in MA, and the sun was low in the sky. It was September and people were enjoying the sun and sand. I looked up at the blue sky through the dunes, and had to capture this!

Classic image of the beauty of marsh in Essex, MA. This is a long image capturing the historic house and all of th birds that like to sun themselves by or in the water. After a light sun shower, the reflection of the sky on the water was so blue. A beautiful view that one can enjoy time and time again.

The Summit House is located in Western Ma, Holyoke region. I was there one of the days after a brief summer sun shower. A family had appeared at the end of the porch, and they had had a discussion about the beauty of the mountains in the view. I was most impressed by the beauty of the porch and the light.

Rockport Harbor, Rockport, MA, just before dawn. Complete peace.

I was in Hadley ,MA, and the this scene appeared over a hill. The dandelions were starting to seed, and the yellow ones dotted the landscape over the green grass. I imagined only good things at the end of the road less traveled.

This image is one with great depth. I found myself lost in the day. The sun and the ocean in the distance, the clouds and the beautiful green sea grasses.

It was 6AM on Fathers Day. I had gone out to shoot a couple of rolls of film before dad got up. I grew up here, and this area reminded me of my dad going out to sail on his little turnabout sailboat. He loved that boat.

Rockport MA/ The Motif number #1 is one of the most photographed seascapes in the world today. The harbor at Rockport MA, is beautiful and full of activity. The schooner is moored in the harbor all summer, and available for sightseeing trips!

Western MA is known for it's tobacco barns. The tobacco plant is really huge and green and leafy.

After a storm over the Connecticut Valley, the reflection in the pool of water was a mirror image of the clouds.It was so beautiful I watched as the clouds passed over the green pasture and made more cloud reflections...

One morning, I awoke to a view that was like a fairytale.The mist was moving slowly across the pond, and I found myself in a dreamlike state. I ran down to the dock with my camera to capture it.
