11.26.2021 Falls Friday

Posted on November 26, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Rainy day here in Western Massachusetts. And I’m still in a Tryptophan stupor from yesterday’s gorge. Been napping with Bentley much of the day after our usual 2 a.m. nature call for the both of us. After our day of … Continue reading →

11.05.2021 Flashback Friday-Murphy Falls in Autumn

Posted on November 5, 2021 by Steve Gingold

After yesterday’s post from Dean Brook and reference to Murphy Falls, I thought I’d share this old image from 2015. Similar has appeared in portrait format back then but this is the first appearance in landscape. And of course countless … Continue reading →

11.04.2021 Roadside Brook and Star

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Steve Gingold

After spending some time enjoying the rising sun and foliage in North Quabbin, I drove through Shutesbury and down Sand Hill Road. Dean Brook runs alongside and, as you’ve seen before, over a little waterfall that I call Murphy Falls. … Continue reading →

06/02/2021 Rainy Day Cascade

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Steve Gingold

This brook only flows after a rainy day, or heavy snow melt, so I was lucky to be in Quabbin Park on a gentle rainy day while it was running strong. And, of course, a little natural saturation aids the … Continue reading →

05.01.2021 An erect Trillium erectum

Posted on May 1, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Quite often these Red Trillium flowers are more drooping than upright which can make shooting them a challenge. In this case the flower was fairly perpendicular to the earth which still required lying on the ground with the tripod legs … Continue reading →

03.15.2021 Textured Cascade

Posted on March 15, 2021 by Steve Gingold

There is a very large rock at the edge of the Wahconah Falls Brook downstream from the waterfall. I enjoy how it deflects the streaming flow and reflects the light off the water as well.

03.13.2021 Hop Brook

Posted on March 13, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Another from this location. I haven’t posted one from here in a while but it is a favorite to visit. Once a part of the M-M Trail (from Metacomet, CT to Monadnock, NH mountains) and now part of the New … Continue reading →
