Race Brook Falls Trail, Southwest Massachusetts. I’m a “maintainer” of this blue trail connecting Rt. 41 to the Appalachian Trail and I have to hike it regularly to make sure it’s clear. We had and are having some severe weather in New England at the moment and I needed to get up on this trail [...]

New York, Connecticut border south of Kent, Connecticut on the Appalachian Trail. This moss was on some wet rocks in a small stream that was a great provider of ice shots a few months ago. I’m really liking the variability in this particular moss and if I can hold the camera still enough I can [...]

Salisbury, Connecticut. Hiking up to Bear Mountain across Paradise Lane we always stop at this little pool of water to check for interesting reflections. Today there was a nice group of frog egg clusters. Looks like they beamed down from another planet.

West of Gaylordsville, Connecticut. We hiked from Bull’s Bridge south on the Appalachian trail over Ten Mile Mountain (ugh) and this small swamp/pond was right next to Rt. 55 on the southern end of our hike. I had the bright idea to get some ripples going by tossing a stick in and at one point [...]

New York, Connecticut border south of Kent, Connecticut on the Appalachian Trail. This small stream that was a great provider of ice shots a few months ago is now a great provider of foam/bubble shots. I returned to the same spot and lo and behold, a similar bubble island was spinning under a small drop. [...]

Ice bubbles and metamorphic fragments Race Brook Falls Trail, Southwest Massachusetts. Dave and I are the “maintainers” of this blue trail connecting Rt. 41 to the Appalachian Trail and we have to hike it regularly to make sure it’s clear. It’s about 2 miles of steep switchbacks from the parking lot to the AT intersection. [...]

West Cornwall, Connecticut. We hiked up to Pine Swamp yet again in light snowfall. It’s one of our favorite short hikes on the Appalachian Trail. The falling snow pretty much wrecked every shot I got except this one. I did clean up some of the bigger flakes that were in this shot and I almost [...]

Mt. Everett and Mt. Race from Bear Mountain Bear Mountain, Salisbury, Connecticut. Dave and I hiked up Bear Mountain and this is the view north into Massachusetts to Mt. Race and Mt. Everett. The Appalachian Trail runs from the left edge of this image over the tops of those two mountains to the left side [...]

Salisbury, Connecticut. We cross this little “streamlet” on the Undermountain Trail on the way up Bear Mountain. This small pool is usually crying out to be photographed because it catches great reflections from the trees and rocks around it and I particularly like the reflections, like this one, where the biggest boulder has a layer [...]

On the Appalachian Trail between Hubbard Brook and Rt. 7 near Sheffield, Massachusetts. This was the finest collection of ice patterns I’d ever seen in my many years of looking for and shooting them. This was a shallow swamp right on the trail with a small crumbling bridge/boardwalk running through it. On either side of [...]

On the Appalachian Trail near Sheffield, Massachusetts. Dave, Loren and I went on one of our regular hikes from Jug End to Rt. 7 on the Appalachian Trail. As we walked through a small meadow with low pine trees Loren spotted what he thought was an old wasp’s nest. Dave took one look at it [...]

West Cornwall, Connecticut. This part of the Carse Brook swamp is an abandoned beaver pond that ha the brook running through the middle of it. Where Dave is standing on grass used to be under water when the beaver pond was active. This is a depression in the old bottom of the Carse Brook beaver [...]

West Cornwall, Connecticut. We decided to check out the Carse Brook swamp just south of where we park for our hike to Pine Swamp beaver pond on the Appalachian Trail. To our delight it was loaded with great ice formations and in the hour we spent there I took close to a hundred pictures. This [...]

West Cornwall, Connecticut. Hiking back from the Pine Swamp beaver pond I stopped to shoot a small outcropping of icicles and dripping ice on a small cliff face. I haven’t shot this type of ice much before and it’s a bit tougher than shooting down on flat ice; the depth of it makes finding interesting [...]

Thayer Brook, Schaghticoke Ridge, Appalachian Trail, Kent, Connecticut. Dave and I took a quick hike south on the AT to shoot ice on this brook. I used both the G15 and RX100 and got a few keepers from each. These are ice drippings (stalagmites) under a waterfall and while it was tough to shoot these [...]
