There is nothing like being up at the crack of dawn. This cornfield, with the trees filtering the rising sun, caught my eye as the Bumblebee and I hea (...)

I left Ashton and began meandering my way home. It's another way of saying I got lost in the fog. I did come across this old truck in some redneck dri (...)

This log house is a couple of houses down from the General store. I liked the old fence.

This other cornfield also deserved some attention. I was drawn by the way the tractor tracks snake through the cut corn stalks. The light painted the (...)

A little further down main street there is a log shed. I liked the black & white feel of this scene.

This category intends to capture frosty scenes from Winter 07 through Spring 08. It all begins late in the afternoon on Boxing Day. I went for a walki (...)

The cornfields were now ice rinks thanks the the thaw and sudden freeze.

From the snow-laden firs the trail plunges into a pine stand. The wind was quite brisk that day. You can see on the left where a gust has booted a clu (...)

This old church is no longer a religious establishment. It was sold and the owners renovated it into a home. To their credit they left the outside unt (...)

With such and abundance of warm light I was moved to capture the Bumblebee in her golden halo.

Cross country skiing is popular around here, as evidenced by the tracks, but I usually don't meet anyone during the hours I keep with the camera. I wa (...)

We passed through Ashton again and this old laneway spoke of old chores done early. Where has the past gone, I wonder?

This old window caught my eye. It belongs to an old garage, which became a sport shop, which became bankrupt. This happens a lot in rural villages.

Val's suggestion to visit Appleton was a good one. It is a very pretty little burgh with some fabulous stone homes, one of which I wants NOW.

The old Ashton General Store. These venerable establishments are getting fewer and fewer in the Valley. I took this shot for that reason and, well, be (...)

I prefer dawn to sunset because the light last longer and doesn't go out. Still, sunset offers fleeting windows of opportunity to those in the right p (...)

When on photo safari it pays to look in all directions. This scene is across the street from the snow truck but is easily overlooked when walking up t (...)

My eyes were drawn to the golden sunset light that painted the base of this fir tree. This image doesn't quite capture what I actually saw, as my mind (...)

A creek runs through Ashton and it was enshrouded with mystery. In summer, it provides a cool view from the back deck of the Ashton Pub. Great spot fr (...)

The light wasn't conducive to taking tourist shots of Appleton, nor was I inclined to do so. The beauty is all in the details anyway. This image shows (...)
