These two Instagram/iPhone shots were made on Schaghticoke Ridge, Appalachian Trail, Kent, Connecticut. These foam shots are almost always in pools on the downstream side of small waterfalls. In other words, the water falls into a pool, makes bubbles, and they collect in places out of the main current in striated ripples. I find it [...]

Macedonia State Park, Connecticut. The loop trail around this gem of a park is about 7 miles long and quite a serious hike. It goes over Cobble Mountain and crosses Macedonia Brook just below a large beaver dam. Wearing polarized sunglasses is a must on hikes but they actually prevent one from clearly seeing reflections [...]

On the Taconic Trail near Brace Mountain, New York. Dave and I did a long loop between Alander and Brace Mountains in New York state. The trail crosses many small streams and a few of them have just the right conditions for interesting reflection shots. Between the rocks, beech leaves, tree reflections and moving water [...]

Many Instagram users who want to make a statement about their “hatred” of Facebook have left the service. While I’m [...]

On the Appalachian Trail near West Cornwall, Connecticut. We visit this beaver pond often and it’s surrounded by trees* so when the sky is right the reflections are great. *Beavers choose waterways to dam that have a ready supply of food (tree bark) and building materials (branches) nearby. It’s absolutely amazing how much they can [...]
