Finally in the Smokies

I have been in the Smoky Mountains for the last two days. Mostly spent along the creeks. Fall color this year is not great. I did get a couple of photos that I like. The one on the right was unexpected. As I was headed to Cades Cove I spotted this scene next to the road. Seems that this is a well known site to photographers. The lighting was almost perfect and I used a polarizer to enhance the color and allow a little blurring of the water. Plans are to head to Cades Cove tomorrow - weather permitting.

Headed to Smokies

Thanks to everyone who purchased images from me at the Kingsley Craft Show. It was great too meeting everyone. I am now headed for my next photo adventure - my favorite place to photograph - the Smokies Mountains. I am drawn to the beautiful streams, mountains, and sheer beauty of the Southern Appalachians. Especially Big Creek which leads to Midnight Blue Hole, Mouse Creek Falls. Doubtful that there will be any fall color this year. Several years ago I visited on the same week in October and the colors were spectacular. From what I can tell this year is colors will be later. I can only hope to capture some of the beauty. I will post more later.

Visit at Kingsley Art and Craft Fair - October 6

I will be selling prints at the Kingsley Art and Craft Fair on Saturday October 6 from 10 am to 5 pm. This will be held at the Kingsley Middle School. Also, available for the first time will be a photo DVD or CD of Northern Michigan images. Many of these images are on my website. However, there are some new images that are not yet available on the website or will not be offered as prints.

The Latest Photo

This is one of my latest images taken in late September along the Lake Michigan shore. Sleeping Bear Dunes is in the background illuminated by a quick splash of late evening light. Actually, the rocks in the foreground were spotlighted at the same time. This will soon be available through my website. Thanks for looking. Any comments are welcome.

Farm Field

Most of my images have a nature theme. Sometimes I find man-made scenes to be poignant. This tractor in a hay field tells of a working farm. Soon to be posted to the website. Thanks for looking.

Another New Photo

Here is another photo that will soon be added to the website. Taken at near peak for the sunflowers, the clouds add an extra dimension to the image. This will be available in sizes ranging from 8" X 10 "; 11" X 17"; 13" X 19" and 16" X 20". As always shipping and handling is included. This will add a touch of sunshine to any room!
