Nature

Nature photography is my primary focus (pun fully intended). I think Mother Nature is amazing. The more you learn about the intricacies of the natural world, the more amazing it is. This gallery represents some of my best attempts to capture the natural world in a photograph.

The first spot of autumn color appears on the leaves high atop a tree at Mingo Creek Park in southwestern Pennsylvania. I noticed the vibrant red color, tucked away among the treetop branches, and was able to use my telephoto lens to capture the scene. I enjoy capturing nature images which represent change, in this case the change of seasons. This image was captured in late September 2020, as a vibrant autumn began.
