05.30.2020-2 Saturday Morning Fog Hangover
Here is one more image from foggy Quabbin Hill this past Wednesday morning. After the two trees shot and the violets, I thought I’d walk a bit further up the road and see if there were any more compositions that … Continue reading
05.30.2020 Spilling through the Spillway
I didn’t expect there to be much flow through the spillway after so many days of no rain but the water levels in the reservoir and watershed are high enough that there was an overflow. The reservoir was created by … Continue reading
05.29.2020-3 Yes, a third post :)
Why not…it’s fog Friday and this is one more foggy image shot just before the Viola pedata on Quabbin Hill. It’s sort of iconic in that many people, myself included, have made similar images here before and will do so … Continue reading

I don’t make very many bird images but every once in a while an opportunity presents itself. Part of the reason I purchased the Tokina 100-400 last year was to take better advantage of those opportunities when I can. In … Continue reading
