"The Magic Hour" - infrared dimensions between day and night.

For some, the magic hour is the golden hour - just before sunrise or just after sunset. For others it may be the twilight hour. Nature offers us many hours of magic. It's up to us to experience it. If you look closely, you can see a definitive separation between the row of pine trees in the foreground and the oak tree in the background. The light reflecting off the top of the pine trees is actually illuminating the top of the oak tree.
Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

"A new path"...

Even the smallest difference can be enough to make a difference. Sometimes it doesn't take much to change your perspective, appreciation, respect or opinion about something. In this photograph, a large water droplet rests at the center of this blade of grass. If you look closely, you can see the reflection of the grass and sky at the top of the water droplet. Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

Vertical Flair...

This male Northern Cardinal makes flight adjustments as the snow falls quietly. Normally, I don't like centered compositions, but this one works for me. Comments welcome.

On display at a local gallery...

Here's are photographs I have on display at the Art on the Green gallery in Conway! If you'd like to see these in-person, or purchase one for yourself, friend or relative, this is the time!

Artist Highlight...

Hot off the Press:
The May issue of Women's Inc. magazine has me as their Artist Highlight. If you're in central Arkansas, check it out in print. Also, I'll be taking some new art to the gallery very soon!

Clarity...

For some, a visit with nature allows you time to reflect, to rejuvenate, to destress, or even to give you perspective from your daily life. Whatever your reason, nature provides us many wonderful views and experiences if we only take the time. Make the time. This location was such a treat and a very hard climb to get to, especially carrying a lot of gear on slippery rocks, in-and-out of a hollow. To give you some scale, this waterfall is approx. 35 feet tall. There's so much to see in this photograph, even the tiny waterfall on the left side. Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

This area is located near the township of Batson, where the population density is only 7 people per square mile.
