Epic Elements

The colors of Lake Powell are so appealing, and the water level is so worrying..

Instead of my personal Facebook account, I should have posted these here - the first set of my Favorite Photos of 2025.

2025 has been a busy year!. Michigan Upper Peninsula in Winter and Spring (with Neil Weaver Photography and Aubrieta Hope and Grace Croonenberghs and Terrie Smith and Lori Haukkala Boes and Lisa Spadafore and others..). Washington, D.C. most months for a few days for work. Northern Arizona in Winter and late Summer. Lake Michigan in Winter (St. Joseph, South Haven, Holland, Grand Haven). Detroit with Midwest Photography Workshops. Switzerland / Germany / France in Fall (Autumn). Tulip farm in Spring. Sunflower and Lavender farms in Summer. New York City in Summer. and .. wonderful flower gardens in my neighborhood!

Travel Photography Club Meet - around the world. Freezing rain covered the area this weekend. Icy branches look so appealing! (Lake Sherwood, Michigan)

It’s going to be a while before we see blooming flowers here in the frozen north, so here’s a reminder of how silky smooth and relaxing they can look..

The White House at dusk. It's not an easy building to photograph as there are few good viewpoints..

Sunset at the local lake a few days ago.. these fleeting colors are incredible.

Fall (or Autumn for my non-U.S. friends) brings brilliant colors to the trees that aren’t found in most other countries. A drone around our local lake shows these colors so beautifully.. ❤️

Winter is coming. Lake Michigan often has big storms before and during winter. They are great opportunities for fascinating photos…combined with opportunities to get sand in your camera, lenses, tripod, and everything else. Harsh winds whip across the beach and any part of you that is unprotected..

This is Lower Manhattan from Brooklyn. A nice sunset made this photo work!
