Tetons Winter 2026
Tetons Winter 2026

An unusually dry and warm winter limited the snow coverage across much of the Park.   But that also meant that many of the elk that comprise North America's largest migrating herd of mammals remained in the open flats where they could still graze, which in turn led the Park's wolves to be much more active and visible...

Of Otters and Eagles

Finally turning back to an enjoyable afternoon, with plenty of laughs, watching a family of otters fish and play, fending off eagles and skunks, before retreating at dusk along their snowy path across the frozen waters of the Snake River at Oxbow Bend...

Smokies Spring 2023

Springtime in the Smokies may be my favorite season in this eastern jewel of the Park system.    Free of the crowds and the tired wear of autumn, Spring offers hope, its own medley of subtle hues and bold colors, clean fresh aromas, hungry wildlife intent on feeding their young and nourishing their families, with the streams and falls rushing along in swelled pride, providing symphonic support to the sensory overload.

Alaska 2017

For more than two weeks this summer, I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream - to explore the expanse and incomparable splendor of Denali National Park; followed by several days in Lake Clark National Park where I was able to photograph the large coastal brown bears that frequent its meadows and waterways, and concluding with several days exploring Kenai Fjords National Park, with its countless glaciers, rugged coastlines and moody features...

Tetons Fall 2017

It was a spectacular late fall 2017 in the Tetons. Vibrant, snow-covered aspens; exquisite lakes reflecting sunrise on snow capped mountains; large, hungry bears hunting relentlessly for food, amorous moose, and a sense that for a few brief days, yesterday's loss could give way to new meanings...

Springtime in the Great Smoky Mountains always brings beautiful wildflowers and a certain quiet. This was especially true as a surprise snow fell on the higher elevations in late April.

Grand Teton Winter 2016

There may be no experience I enjoy more than winter in Grand Teton National Park.  The Park is buried in deep snow.  When the weather cooperates there can be stunning sunrises.  There is also abundant wildlife that literally must fight for survival every day as snows become several feet deep and temperatures plunge to 20 or more below...

Iceland - Land of Fire and Ice 2015

Iceland is a land of far flung peninsulas and, at least in the summer, almost 24 hours of light.  Large waterfalls dot the landscape and there seems to be more sheep than people.  But the most moving experience was traversing across Iceland's glaciers and seeing firsthand the effects of global warming as giants slabs of ice break off those glaciers every day into a nearby lagoon, to float to the sea where they get destroyed by wave, sun and salt, finally getting deposited on so-called Diamond Beach for their final death...

Shenandoah National Park can be one of the most difficult parks to photograph in winter because it is generally inaccessible except by foot when there is ice and snow.
