Wow! The beehive hike in @acadianps was so much fun! Great for photography with the mist blowing off the ocean. May was a good time to be there, with colors being all springy like, and the black flies not too bad yet.

New blog post! Have you ever played the game, "Fortunately, Unfortunately"? Well, I recently had a landscape photography experience at Cades Cove in Tennessee that made me feel like I was living out one of those stories! And at first, I wasn`t laughing. Read more at link in bio.

Because vehicles are not allowed into the cove before sunrise, I had to hike in before light and hope the rainey forecast wouldn`t interfere...and it didn`t praise the Lord!

If you’ve known me for any length of time, you know that I love landscape photography. Who couldn’t?! 😉 God has created this world with so much beauty, and despite the curse of sin that we live with since Adam and Eve (see Genesis 3), His glory is still so richly manifest in His creation.
But as much as I love taking landscape pictures, it’s even better when I get to do it with other photographers! 📸
And that’s why I’m so excited about the upcoming photography workshops that will be landscape-based. CAPTURE Maine is happening this week, May 16-17. Spots have been filling up but we still have space for a few more photographers! So, get the details and register at the link in bio!

A neat example of Secendary Color Scheme, a combination of secondary hues, in this case, orange and green, photographed last October in the wilderness of Itasca State Park, MN.
