Photo of the top of a maple tree with rich-colored autumn leaves, reds at the top, trending yellow and green towards the bottom, backed by a deep blue sky with a few wispy clouds

Fall leaves are really pretty this year in my part of the woods :) The colors are not edited - taken with a polarizing filter, which is why the sky shows so blue. #70mm, #fallcolors

Looking up at Milwaukee city hall and BMO towers around midday

Looking up at Milwaukee city hall and BMO towers around midday

BMO tower with a quite sharp reflection of the top of city hall tower, tricks the eyes, making it seem like the clock tower is painted on

Some juxtapositions of old and new from Milwaukee, WI. The city hall clock tower from 1895 vs BMO tower, completed 125 years later. #photography #milwaukee

More spring walking in the woods. I like the rich colors on this, it almost looks like finished wood

Weathered wood on sandy beach, lots of texture in the wood, windy conditions blowing waves to the rocky shore

Close up of beach sand and mossy rocks, with sea water gently retreating. Sun almost directly overhead on the wet sand made for nice wavy textures

rock pool at beach, water is foamy and moving, the sunny rocks on the side of the pool show lines from erosion and water levels

Some beach photos from uMhlanga Rocks (South Africa). Mixture of iPhone and Nikon shots. It was very windy and the sun was hot, bright and high in the sky.

overcast winter day, with fresh snowfall forming a pattern on shrubs, lining a snowy path leading into the distance, where there is a tree with fall leaves adding a hint of orange/brown tones

Editing photos while watching superbowl :) Photo is from a fresh winter snowfall in a nearby park. I liked the patterns the sticky snow formed on the branches. 27mm f/8 #photography

We had a light snowfall late in the day, so I tried my hand at getting closeups of snow that had fallen on the grill cover. Handheld using Nikon Z 105mm macro. Learned a lot, next time will be better :) #photography

From a walk in late December, taken with phone camera. I love the way the shadows crosses the path, and the footprints breaking up the snow #photography

Taken this foggy morning. I don't know why I like the photo; I feel like the composition is a mess, but it still appeals to me #photography
