Image title and description 1: Monet's Playground: I photographed this angle at Monet's Lilly Pond in Giverny, France. It was glorious summer day, and the tourists poured into the landscape. I found this tranquil spot and enjoyed the mirrored clouds and flowers. I now understand why Monet found this place delightful and a great place to paint.
Image title and description 2: It's Wine Thirty: I had the opportunity to hit this lovely cafe in Portugal. I was amazed at the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a great day and the food and wine was just a perfect way to enjoy the energy that this city offered. I remember how great the olives and the cheese tasted. It was if the olives had just been picked and the cheese made in the morning. The people shopping and visiting friends in the streets unfolded in front of me.
Image title and description 3: Paris puts on a show: My family and I traveled to Paris during the summer of 2024 to attend the Olympic Games. We enjoyed the trip up the Eiffel Tower. We enjoyed the games and the city. The number of visitors at the Eiffel tower was light but the views were spectacular. We could not have been more delighted to enjoy the vista. We watched beach volleyball below us while tasting champagne and eclairs.
Image title and description 4: The Duoro: Nestled in the north of Portugal, the Douro Valley is a picturesque region renowned for its terraced vineyards that snake along the banks of the Douro River. This UNESCO World Heritage site boasts a rich history of winemaking that dates back over two millennia, with the valley producing some of the world's most celebrated port and table wines. The photo of this landscape is a mesmerizing tapestry of rolling hills, dotted with charming quintas (wine estates) and historic villages that exude old-world charm. Beyond its viticultural heritage, the Douro Valley offers a haven for nature lovers, with scenic river cruises, hiking trails, and panoramic viewpoints that provide breathtaking vistas of the region's lush, verdant beauty. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or a lover of natural splendor, the Douro Valley is a destination that promises an unforgettable journey through the heart of Portugal's wine country.
Image title and description 5: Crashing into the Rocks: I captured this wave on the island of Madeira. It was a beautiful spot before a storm rolled in and we were walking the rocky beach. I love the skyline and the splash. You can smell the salt water and feel the wind blowing into the island.

Image title and description 1: Crossing Over: This was taken in my favorite location to photograph called Carolina Bay. I found this just a few days after my father died in November 2024. He passed a few months after our mother. It makes me think of the love and chaos that was around both of them as they crossed over into the unknown.
Image title and description 2: Litany Against Fear: Each spring for almost 20 years, my daughter and I have been taking photos of her in the azaleas in our backyard. In 2024 we tried a little ICM as she moved through the bushes. Her calm face in this image makes me think of the "Litany Against Fear" and about letting our fears pass over us and through us. We are not sure how the 2025 shoot will go. More then half the bushes were severely damaged in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Image title and description 3: The Day After: At the end of September 2024, Hurricane Helene passed right over our area. My favorite places to photograph, Carolina Bay, was hit hard and many trees were toppled and destroyed. This image was take the day after the storm and shows how a tornado had passed over as well with trees going in different directions.
Image title and description 4: Falling for Fall 2024: For the past few years, I have been photographing my neighbor's Japanese maple tree. For fun, I had my daughter drop bunches of leaves and I would track them to the ground using ICM. This gives me a better sense of fall and the changing of the seasons than typical still image.
Image title and description 5: When Fangorn Marches: During the fall of 2024, this gnarled old oak tree seems to be leading these young pines along a back road in South Carolina. Though, there were likely other oaks like this that were removed to then plant all these farm-raised pines.
