Merced River Reflections

The colors of winter reflected in the flowing water of the Merced River, Yosemite Valley.

Glacier Fragment

Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. This piece of ice from the Hooker Glacier floated in the glacier's proglacial lake, among 75 other icebergs. The bright afternoon sun reflected in the ice while the clear blue sky lit the water's surface.

Wild Display of Power

Bombo Headland Quarry, New South Wales, Australia. In the early morning just before sunrise, the South Pacific batters at the basalt columns of the old quarry.

Bombo Headland Quarry, New South Wales, Australia. Great swells from the South Pacific come ashore here and demonstrate their power when they hit the basalt columns of the former quarry. This huge wave produced patterns like a fireworks display. The booming sound and rhythmic movement were fascinating.

The Eloquence of Water

Tasman Glacial Lake, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand

The River Rejoices

Merced River Canyon, Yosemite National Park During a week when 10 trillion gallons of water will fall on California, the Merced River sings its song as it rushes through the canyon just west of Yosemite Valley.

Patterns of Moss and Water

Nelson Falls, Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, Tasmanian Wilderness Wild Heritage Site A misty day created perfect light for these falls, located in a wild area that is home to plants and animals unique in the world

Pastel Morning

Wanaka Lake, New Zealand It wasn't an awesome high mountain landscape (that was off to the left). And it wasn't a briliantly red sunset. But I felt the gentle colors were perfect for this early morning scene.

The Practice of Deep Looking

Tasman Lake, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand To paraphrase John Muir, it's a big world and I want to get as close to the heart of it as I can

Spiritual Animation

Tasman Sea at Okarito Beach, New Zealand The waves of the Tasman Sea paint fleeting designs on the rocks and black sand of the beach at Okarito, New Zealand. I was grateful for the pastel sky, rather than a more vivid sunset; I didn't want distractions from the design work going on around me. A perfect place to plant your feet in the cold water and watch a master "painter" at work.

Power Within The Flow

The Kings River running swiftly through Cedar Grove. The song of the river filled the air throughout Kings Canyon.

Micro Moment

Upper Rae Lake, Kings Canyon National Park On our way to 80 Lakes Basin, we stopped to appreciate the brilliant colors and sun patterns near the shore.
