Yesterday some friends invited me to meet up in Shelburne, MA and visit the Glacial Potholes.  I had visited the location a long time ago…read 40+ years…and was happily surprised to see color and patterns which I did not recall.  … Continue reading

10.19.2020 Splish, splash, I avoided taking a bath.

In the brook, of course.  No B.O. Plenty am I.  Despite the strong flow, the water is rarely more than ankle deep over the rock bed of the brook until you go farther downstream. I’ve made many attempts to capture … Continue reading

02.27.2016 Amethyst Brook Cascade and a Frozen Foam Cake video

After our 60° warm-up the last two days along with lots of rain, the water is running great in our brooks.  I found this one cascade and an interesting icicle that I wanted to photograph. I am not sure if … Continue reading

11.02.2015 Textural Change of Pace

No doubt everyone is tired of all that color by now.  So yesterday, a gray and lightly drizzled day, I went looking for monochrome water instead of all those tiresome leaves.  But…it is still a favorite place-the Middle Branch of … Continue reading

07.16.2015 Another from Amethyst Brook
