Picture of the Week
A picture a week from around town, or around the world!
Beauty in the Ruins
This past spring while I was wandering around among the old home ruins at Elkmont, I happened to notice this little group of yellow trillium. Trillium are among my favorite wild flowers, and I really enjoy the yellow trillium, but often find them sort of hard to...
Bluets in the Stream
For the last - I actually don't know how many years now - I've spent a TON of time up at Tremont, exploring the streams and enjoying what that area of the Great Smoky Mountains has to offer. Last fall, however, I was really inspired while exploring around in Elkmont,...
The Prized Azalea
Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you're all enjoying a nice long weekend. I wanted to bring things back home this week (literally) with what I hope you'll find is a fun little story. If you follow me on social media, you may have seen me referring to a "top...
The Rhino and the Dark Horse
This week I'm wrapping up my series on Joshua Tree National Park at night, and I have a question for you - what do you see? As my friend Mark and I were walking out, the morning after shooting the arch I shared last week, he was telling me about this other rock...
Arches Under the Desert Night Sky
Joshua Tree National Park is known for its namesake - the Yucca brevifolia, or colloquially the Joshua Tree. In my previous visits to the desert park, I spent a good amount of time photographing the trees, however on this trip I was hoping to explore other aspects of...
The Cholla Garden at Night
From one adventure to the next! This week I'm transitioning Picture of the Week from Poland, to Joshua Tree National Park in California. I am finally getting back on the road again for work in a somewhat limited fashion after COVID, and I desperately needed to get...
Fun in Warsaw
On to Warsaw! For the past two weeks, Picture of the Week has been in Wroclaw, Poland, but this week we move on to Warsaw. As I mentioned last week, Holly and I were in Poland for a dear friend's wedding. This was actually our sixth trip to the country, but despite...
The Beautiful Colors of Wroclaw
Well happy Memorial Day weekend everyone! I hope you've all had a nice weekend spent with friends and family. Last week I mentioned that this week you were all going to question my sanity for posting images of the beautiful city of Wroclaw, Poland in black and white,...
Exploring Wrocław in Black and White
Man, time flies, does it not? I was just thinking it's already been two months since Holly and I went to Poland, but it feels like only yesterday! In any case, welcome to Poland! First and foremost, you're probably wondering how to pronounce Wrocław, and the funny...
The Beauty of Sunrise in the Smokies
I'm wrapping up my springtime sunrise series this week with a collection of images I've taken around the Smokies this spring. If you missed it, last week I gave folks a brief reprieve from the black and white images with a nice color scene - given that it's a series...
