Autumn lake edge

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A stand of tupelo and cypress trees rises from calm, leaf-strewn water. Soft autumn light brightens the trunks while yellow reflections ripple gently across the surface.

Bright autumn

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Swamp's edge in autumn, with yellow and orange leaves arching over still water. The trunks of tupelo trees rise from the surface, their bases darkened by moss and moisture, while fallen leaves float motionless on the water.

November tupelo gums

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Tupelo trees rise from golden swamp water, their pale gray trunks flaring at the base. Autumn leaves float on the surface, and the forest beyond glows with muted oranges and golds in soft, overcast light.

Amber and copper in a stand of cypress

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Several cypress trees rise from rippled water, staggered from one another. Through them a lake and darkened shoreline are visible in the distance. The autumn foliage glows with copper tones.

Sweeping November clouds

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
The sun begins to rise over a calm lake with a band of soft golden light breaking through sweeping clouds. The reflection on the water mirrors the sky’s warm tones. Dark treelines on the horizon provide foundation.

Hope and strength rise with the sun.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
The sun rises, but low above a calm lake, its light piercing through a canopy of textured clouds. A lone tree stands at the water’s center, while silhouetted shorelines are seen on either side. The rippling water reflects the silvery scene.

Bands of morning blue

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A lone cypress tree rises from the still lake, silhouetted against an oncoming sunrise. The sky glows with deep orange, gold, and indigo hues.

Under the pale moonlight

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A moonlit night landscape beneath a starry sky. Tall pine trees line an open clearing, their dark silhouettes outlined faintly under pale light. Overhead, branches frame the scene and stars glimmer softly in the deep blue sky.

In the pines, in the pines, where the moon forever shines...

And I was doing a bit of shivering.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Moonlight filters through a dark pine forest, casting long shadows across the forest floor. The cold moon glow highlights the trunks, branches and fallen needles.

A cluster of trees in November morning light.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A cluster of trees along a lake’s edge, their autumn foliage glowing in bright morning light. A tall loblolly pine is lit by orange sunlight and stands above the others. Colors and shadow are reflected on the calm surface of the water beneath a pale, clear sky.

Pale tupelo gums

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A cluster of tupelo gum trees standing in shallow water. The smooth, pale trunks of the trees rise from the surface, and reflect among amber and gold. Behind them, the forest glows with warm autumn hues of gold, orange, and red.

Desire to merge with the stillness

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Late afternoon light glances through a cypress stand, turning the swamp golden yellow. The reflections of trunks and foliage stretch toward the viewer. In these moments, I wish to disappear as every breath, thought, action, seems an impure import that threatens to break the spell.

Some moon time on a gorgeous November night. Blustery but clear.

A full moon floats in blackness, lantern-like.

Morning light and fall color become the priority of the moment. I'm grateful to be a witness.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
While in a rush to get back to the oh-so-important world and my todo list, I had to stop when I saw this morning light hitting the trees, the light and shadow serving to accentuate the fall colors. The forested shoreline was ablaze in reds and golds, its reflection doubling the color in the calm lake. A pair of jet trails cut lines through the blue sky.

Autumn colors and reflection. Catch it while it lasts.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Bright autumn vibrance and fiery foliage, reflecting on the still surface of a lake. The first rays of sunlight brighten the shoreline, backed by deep blue skies.

Big Gulp!

My cormorant-people like to move from one part of the lake to another in big numbers. It seems fall-specific and occurs in the morning. They kept coming, leaving their roost in a different section of the lake.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A gulp of cormorants (that's right...a group of cormorants is called a 'gulp'. Isn't that the great?) flies overhead above a lake at first light. Soft pink clouds hover behind the dark figures of the birds.

A colorful grove

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
As I drift into a quiet cypress and tupelo grove lit by late afternoon sun, the gold and amber of the foliage is dazzling. In this shot, tree trunks rise from still water, taking on unique forms. The light blue sky and its reflection create a border for a thick band of autumn color.

A November moon over the lake after sunset

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A lone cypress rises from still water beneath the early evening sky. The moon glows faintly above. In the reflection on the lake, both tree and light soft violet tones are echoed. A more distant shoreline is dark and forms a band across the horizon.

Took hold of the hand of great November
Who showed us how long a night could be
But bid that we always would remember
That night doesn’t last for eternity.

(from a song I'm working on)

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
From the kayak, I drift through a stand of cypress trees lit by the setting sun. The water glows with reflected amber and gold between the trunks. The image evokes an autumn stillness juxtaposed with the fire of fall colors.

A small peninsula, lit by afternoon sun
#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A stillness ensues while afternoon sun filters through autumn trees at the edge of the lake, highlighting fall colors among the foliage. Some trees are in shadow, but golden light is visible in the understory.

A goodbye to another fleeting October

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Early sunlight breaks over the horizon on the far left of the image, sending warm light across the lake. A single cypress stands rooted in the still water, its reflection mirrored on the surface, along with those of streaked clouds that stretch into the distance. A cool, clear autumal scene.

Thickening fog and thinning veil

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Fog drifts across a lake as the sun rises behind a trio of cypress trees, their silhouettes mirrored in the still water. From the kayak, the air feels heavy and hushed. An otherworldly quiet sits on the lake with the fog.

For a few moments, the world glows

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
On some mornings the lake explodes with color. Fiery red, pink and orange clouds stretch across the sky and ripple across the water above and below a dark stretch of wooded shoreline. The whole world glows for a few fleeting moments.

Clouds and reflection

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Adrift on the lake just after sunrise, I’m engulfed in sky and reflection - streaks of white cloud stretch and ripple across both water and air. The morning is still and the light soft and clear. Fall colors are seen on the shoreline.
