Barns have become more of a regular subject of mine. I don't take many man made images but I find a quaint old barn makes for a beautiful scenic subject.

I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D

Photo taken on route 20 near Cobleskill, NY.

Captured in: Callicoon, NY.

Pictured here is the launch and subsequent explosion of a fireworks rocket & shell during a fireworks show. The image was captured during an annual July 4th event held in upstate NY.

My brother-in-law was part of the pyrotechnics team that was running the show, so we were fortunate to get an up-close and personal view of the launch area.

I found this one while recently looking back through the archives. ;) Not sure why I never got around to posting it, especially as I happened to really like the shot.

"Night Launch" is a non-HDR image that was processed in ACR and Photoshop. Processing also includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins: Adjust, Clarity, Clean, Denoise, Glow and Detail.

My favorite view in Fulton County, New York...

These are watercolors he did in upstate New York not that far west from where I am, in summer. I realize that Homer is a hidden influence in my recent series Meadow walk and maybe the marsh ducks too. Doesn't he influence all American artists?

So this aged beyond its years VW Bus is just what I slept in when I attended the very first Woodstock Music Festival in upstate New York. Kept me dry from all the rain and mud that weekend.

I was in upstate NY for a few days and I should have waited until next week to go for peak fall colors, but it was still beautiful!

I took this shot in 2009 while stationed in Ithaca, NY as a military recruiter. Here in 2022, I came back and did some editing to add some 'star spikes' to a select few of the stars.

This is but one of the reasons why I love to photograph over at my neighbour's yard.

While on a recent wildflower hunt in upstate SC, we found a few of these beauties, the Catesby's Trillium, or Trillium Catesbaei or the bashful trillium. The leaves resemble bat wings to me.

If you're in the forest and find any trilliums, please don't act on your temptation to dig some up. The flower needs very special soil conditions to grow and will die. Additionally, the flowers once picked may affect other flowers so that future trillium won't be able to grow in that spot again. So HANDS OFF please!

Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.

I really love my home in Upstate, NY. What a contrast after living in New Mexico for 15 years! This is our second significant snowfall in December.

Thought I'd give Wombo a try. I provided three photos of the area I live in and this is what I got.
