The view from Cadillac Mountain in Maine can be spectacular at sunrise and this bucket list item didn't disappoint. As the sun rises over the islands and channels of Mount Desert Narrows, southeast of Bar Harbor, it makes for particularly beautiful photos. In this case, one such island glows in the morning fog.

This photo was taken near Klamath, California, overlooking the mouth of the Klamath River at the Pacific Ocean. This wren, surveying its domain, seemed to pose for me, even waiting for me to set up my camera until I could snap the pic. You gotta love birds...

The Midwestern United States has many iconic farmhouses and barns and I certainly shot my share of them when I lived in Kansas. This particular farm is located in Caldwell, KS.

This photo was taken in Humbolt County on the far northern coastline of California. Coastal fog on the west coast seems to act differently than on the eastern seaboard, especially in New England, and I certainly had plenty of it to see when visiting Maine and Massachusetts last fall. Around the seashores of Northern California, Oregon and Washington State, a marine layer usually creeps in during the wee hours, especially during the summer, and often burns off by mid-afternoon, leaving a few hours of golden sunshine. In the east, you can have continuous fog for days. These peculiarities can create opportunities for some very different photos from each coast. Oh, and just try to get a shot of open beach in New England...

This photo was a pleasant surprise. In Alaska I took shots of several dozen bald eagles, but only a couple of them stand out. One was my "Alaskan Eagle Taking Flight" and the other was this pic, taken in the tiny town of Hoonah.
I had spotted a nest with a bald eagle sitting patiently in a tree a couple of blocks from us as Nadyne and I walked along the main street in the small, rustic town. As we approached we found that the nest was about 60' up, too high to see it very well. I switched to my camera with a 500/750mm telephoto lens and snapped several photos from various angles. We had asked the locals if there were any eaglets in the nest and they all said that nobody had seen any, and we didn't either. Lo and behold, when I got back home and began going through my 1,300 Alaska pics, I found that a couple of shots of this nest in Hoonah showed a little eaglet's head, the chick evidently waiting for lunch. I never saw it with my bare eyes.

I have always been fascinated by abandoned buildings, especially those that were storefronts, gas stations or other means of commerce. The photo of this rural drive-in store store was taken in Central Kansas and I have often wondered what it was like when it was first built and used. At first I thought it was a gas station, but there were no visible signs that gas pumps once stood there. Its sign has an odd shape on top, like perhaps someone wearing a chef's hat, so I've been thinking it was a roadside bakery. It's fun to guess but I probably won't ever know for sure.
This photo was also used for the cover of my fourth book of poetry, "Aspects Long Forgotten," and also inspired the title piece of the book.

I took many photos during our tour of the Maine coast. These fishing boats were moored in Seal Harbor, south of Acadia National Park. We experience rain and fog nearly every day during our autumn visit, but this did make for some interesting shots. I love that the faded Cerulean-blue boat tells you that this isn't a sepia or black-and-white photo.

Another one of my favorite photos from Kansas, this pic was taken in winter at Cheney Reservoir in the central part of the state, the lake frozen over and a tree stump making a shadow in the sunset. Well played, Kansas. Well played.

Those who know me know that I love birds and wildflowers and have taken photos of both all over the country. The flowers below just seemed to be overjoyed to be living in the California desert, despite their hardship, and this shot is a favorite among my wildflower photos.

The decrepit building in the nearly-abandoned town of Miami, Arizona, caught my attention when I saw the trailered Metro parked in front. My dad used to drive a baby-blue-and-white one when I was growing up.
I love coming across interesting old relics or structures and imagining what they were like when they were first built. This building looked like it once had some real personality. I was pleased to have also captured a bird's shadow on the faded blue wall.
