Luminous Seasons

There are more than four seasons. Many photographers understand this, but most do not.

Understanding the various phases of the seasons is crucial for landscape photographers in the middle latitudes – those places that have a traditional cycle of seasons.
If there are any of you in Northern Idaho who like taking photos, good coffee, & hopefully, good conversation, please DM me. Thanks

Good Afternoon.
I'm driving across the country with my Chessie, Huckleberry, from Virginia to Coeur d'Alene, ID. I already have some amazing photos that aren't quite ready to post yet.
