Posted on March 8, 2021 by Steve Gingold

There were two icicles that i enjoyed finding at the top of the little waterfall I visited on Saturday. This one is a bit more complicated to compose and I went about it from two different angles. In both cases … Continue reading →

12.22.2020 Murphy Falls in WInter

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Steve Gingold

10.19.2020 Splish, splash, I avoided taking a bath.

Posted on October 19, 2020 by Steve Gingold

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 →

Posted on October 18, 2020 by Steve Gingold

Between the rain we got on Tuesday and followed by an all day event on Friday the water flowed in Dean Brook like it does in the springtime. It was great to have worldly sounds and thoughts drowned by the … Continue reading →

12.20.2019-2 8° Waterfall Intimate

Posted on December 20, 2019 by Steve Gingold
