#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Winter #Nikon
A gray, irregular rock protrudes from shallow, rippling blue water, coated with frost and stringy, pale-brown algae or moss. Small white crystalline patches speckle the rough surface, with a few curled brown leaves caught at the rock’s base where a thin rim of ice meets the water. The background is a soft, out-of-focus expanse of dark, wavy water.

Thin Ice (Dec 2024)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Abstract #Texture #Nikon #Ice
Close-up of a thin layer of rippling ice over a rocky, tan-and-brown streambed, creating blurred, wavy bands and mosaic-like patterns; soft shadows cross diagonally, and a few tiny white highlights from reflected light dot the surface, with one thin vertical glint near the right edge.

Evergreen Silence (Nov 2025)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fog #Snow #Forest #Nikon
Mist-shrouded evergreen forest with five tall conifers in the foreground—some full and snow-dusted, one sparse with visible trunk—standing above a dark thicket of bare shrubs; hazy gray sky and fog obscure the the tops of the evergreen trees and those in the distance.

A light dusting of snow overnight melting in the morning sun on this first day of December.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Nikon #WinterIsHere

Driving down a quiet farm-to-market road in West Texas yesterday, I came upon this very large and strange antelope that I could not identify behind a very tall fence. It is a Sable antelope, native to Africa.

#Photography #Nature #Outdoors #Wildlife #Nikon
A sable antelope stands alert in a scrubby field, framed by cactus pads and dense green brush. Its glossy black coat contrasts with a white facial blaze and belly, and two long, ringed horns rise straight up. Soft evening light warms the scene as the animal looks directly at the camera, a small ear tag visible on one ear.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Last night's sunset here in West Texas was a nice reminder of all the things I am grateful for.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Sunset #WestTexas
Low sun blazes over a dark, tree-lined horizon, washing the sky in deep gold and orange as heat-hazy light softens the distant rolling hills.

The remarkable contrast of an early season dusting of snow on bare branches as the autumn colors fade away.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Nikon #CaptureOne
Snow-dusted hillsides covered in leafless, reddish-brown shrubs rise to a ridgeline of evergreen pines frosted white under a pale, overcast sky; a few tall, bare trunks stand in the valley, adding stark vertical lines to the muted winter landscape.

It is astonishing what you can find when you get out and explore your local area.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #NewMexico #Nikon #CaptureOne #Affinity #Dehancer #Arch
A natural sandstone arch rises from a scrubby, snow-dusted desert plateau, its smooth tan span curving over juniper and sage. Early morning light warms the rock while blue shadows pool beneath it. Low mesas and a dark, patchy forested ridge stretch into the distance under a pale blue sky.

The late autumn colors of the cottonwood trees along the Animas River were a sight to behold this year.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #Woodland #Trees #Nikon #CaptureOne #Cottonwood #AutumnLeaves #AutumnVibes #FallColors
Tall cottonwood trees blaze with golden-orange fall leaves above a dense tangle of dark, leafless shrubs along a rocky riverbank; white-capped water rushes past rounded boulders in the foreground, with a pale stone hillside and scattered evergreens in the background under soft, cool morning light.
