Bridgework

These 'teeth' are actually expansion seams that run on either side of a small bridge, giving the roadway room to grow and shrink depending on the weather. The grey metal contrasts nicely with the brown gritty sands layed down for traction.

Frayed Braid

An up close, macro photograph of a frayed nautical rope at the Saugerties Lighthouse in Saugerties, NY on the Hudson River. Great texture on all the broken fibers!

Orange Icelandic Poppy

A macro/closeup of a brilliant orange Icelandic Poppy that burst out of our neighbor's yard one spring!

Frost Fronds

Late winter frost makes a gorgeous abstract pattern on a wooden step!

Satellite Leaf

A macro photograph of a leaf imagining itself to be a satellite map photo of a very green city!

Pink Tulip Macro

A lovely closeup of a pink tulip. Soft and lovely.

Raindrop Sunset

Clear, wet raindrops spatter against the window - outside the scene is blurry and unfocused as the sun sinks rapidly behind silhouetted trees.

Snow Waves

Waves of icy snow are speckled with fallen pine needles and striped with long afternoon shadows from nearby trees. An abstract and moody shot you can sink into visually.

Clingy Creeper

A macro photograph of a vine that sent out shoots to cling and pull itself up this concrete pillar - the rusty bolt is just a plus for this shot!

Gift Wrap

In this macro photography, a stone and concrete pillar is wrapped up with rusty, heavy-gauge wire like a gift.

Chipped Rock Layers

Nature makes its own lovely patterns & textures, such as the broken edges of these layers of rock.

Paint and Rust

It's a battle of wills between the paint and the rust, and the rust has the weather and entropy on its side. But the paint has beautiful and subtle irridescent shades of color, which give it life, even if it's losing the war.

Spiderweb Raindrops

A spiderweb built over a shrub has caught and held raindrops from a recent rainfall - nature's glitter

Rock Whale

A rock whale swims through the Ashokan Reservoir in Upstate New York, waiting for the water level to change so it can dive once again. Or is it swimming through the sky?

Mushroom Tree

A wonderful pattern of pale green fungus growing up the bark of a tree in a rainy forest.

Reservoir Abstract

It looks like a wall of water and maybe a stone prow of a ship - this shot is actually taken from on top of a bridge, down at the support column and at the water. (Ashokan Reservoir, Upstate New York)

Almost Seamless

Abstract photography of rust and mineral deposits corroding the seam where two pieces of metal meet - but what colorful and interesting patterns and textures nature is forming!

Golden World Tree

A little photo manipulation on my 'Golden Hills of California' photograph produced this wonderful golden world tree!

Topographical Knot

A macro close up of a stained and bleached wooden pier at Seacliff Park in Central California. The orange and turquoise colors seem like a topographical map of a river split by a round island

Sand Steps

A thousand feet walk through the sands on their way to the ocean and back again. In the waning light of the day, each fallen footstep leaves a pattern in the sand, that will be repeated after the next dawn, yet again

Sky Heart

A heart shape captured floating in the blue sky. How loverly!

Stems

Flower stems in a clear, wavy glass vase that's imprinted with a leaf design - can you see it?

Autumn Oak Leaf

A very close up (macro) photograph of an oak leaf in Autumn colors. You can see all the veining in the leaf itself like you're a caterpillar crawling along its surface!

Ice Leaf

An extreme close up of an autumn oak leaf, in an ice blue negative. The leaf veining looks like cracked ice on a northern lake.

Precake

You know that singular moment in time, just after you've added all the ingredients to the mixing bowl: cocoa, flour, sugar, eggs, water, oil, etc., and right before you destroy all the separateness by plunging a wire whisk into the bowl and whirring like crazy? This an an abstract, macro photograph of that brief moment!

Atomic Blue

What might the center of a blue star look like? Or the depths of a clear ocean to its denizens of the deep? (abstract photography)

Red Rhythm

Waves of red rhythm, glinting in a crescendo! (abstract photography)

Winter Walnuts Triptych

We have black walnut trees in our yard that don't always drop all of their walnuts. Then, in the late Autumn, when they lose all of their leaves, they take on a strange appearance, especially in silhouette against a cold sky.

Red Satin Universe

Deep folds of space, a red universe, shiny as satin, and sparking with light. (abstract photography)

Starfield Reflection

Are those stars in these watery depths? Is the universe reflected within the eye? (abstract photography)

Weathered Bolt

A macro photograph of a weathered and rusted bolt on an old cattle gate that was once painted white. Rural decay in a very small way.

California Poppy

A macro photo of the center of a California Poppy - electric orange and gold hues!

Wasp Death Symmetry

A wasp folds up in interesting symmetry after it dies.
