These flowers seem packed so tightly that they almost can't wait to bloom.

This small bush of red roses next to it's much brighter, much whiter, much larger brother is something that seemed almost hidden in the corner, like it was shy to come out next to the resplendence of the other.

Standing in freezing water, this day was beautiful.

We had the most deep crystal blue skies during the trip that they seemed surreal against the rich green forest of spring.

A bridge spanning the river, leading into the forest. Like the border to a foreign land.

One of many areas seen on a two day hike I took into South Western Pennsylvania this past weekend. It was the most invigorating experience I've had in a while and I look forward to breaking my new record of 31 miles in two days, I'm still trying to figure out how high 607 flights of stair is but according to my Fitbit that is the equivalent of what we climbed.

All this fog seems so lazy, just sitting around waiting for the sun to rise and scare it off like a mother shoeing a child out her the way of her work.

An island that the soul goes to when it's worried. Now that's a place I want to visit.

Seems like a place you would walk past on your way home in the 1800's. I'm not sure why, that's just how it hit me.

Caught these two flying directly over the small path of water.

Sometimes we forget how easy it is to see something majestic, all it takes is a little effort.

This whole area seemed like the mist was just moving back and forth over it, washing the earth with a light layer of water.

Here this time in a place that doesn't seem our own we claim it for what it has to be. A new place, a new home.

I can't go on long drives anymore and make good time, it seems I'm stopping every 15 minutes as the sun sets to create a new image of some fancy thing I see along the way. This tree stood here all alone on the edge of the road looking out over the lake with a couple little brothers looking up to him, waiting for their turn to grow and stand in the sunlight.

Imagine someone walking through the trees where they are glowing and golden. That's how I think when I a scene like this.

My first attempt at a panoramic HDR, the light was not optimal but with travel times I had no option other that to shoot at mid day and in reality I'm fairly pleased with how it's turned out. This river area was so beautiful that it's hard to capture it in a small image.
Now Playing: Grizzly Bear - Easier
I've been shooting a lot of colorful HDR's lately but it's always good to both shoot and remember what some solid contrast between light and dark can bring. Like a good persons life there is an overwhelming glow of light with the occasional spikes of darkness coming through.

If a brook running down a rocky mounting is babbling then does that mean that this slow water runway is monotone? I like to think of it more as a powerfully quiet whisper slipping into the stillness of the masses, like a child talking in a subway station. What do you think of nature represented through human analogies?
Now Playing: Band of Skulls - Bruises
Whenever I see water like this I tend to picture a large mobster from a Bugs Bunny cartoon just stumbling along as he calls after his boss. I don't know why but the water seems clumsy and controlled so loosely by the terrain around it.
P.S. Have a listen to the song below the image, I feel that it fits very well.
Now Playing: Angus and Julia Stone - Silver Coin
The force that this waterfall had seemed to just pulverize any impurities out of the water. I know that is not how it works but the water as soon as it went over the falls was just crystal clear and flowing into the open.
