Amazing Sunset, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine. I had posted the iPhone version of this image a few weeks ago, but finally was able to process the Nikon version of this image, which is even more dramatic and satisfying to me. I can still recall that evening very vividly. It was very grey out and overcast to start, which was perfect for finding Fall color in the forest. My only problem that day had been a modest breeze, so I had to wait at times for the wind to quiet down. Suddenly, I noticed that the light around me was no longer grey, but an incredible combination of golden-yellows and purple. I looked up to find this amazing sky above me, but now I needed to put something underneath that sky to create an interesting photo. I ran over to a nearby pond and framed this shot. Fortunately, the wind had died down and the reflections were perfect! Sometimes, you just get lucky. A favorite shot from my trip to Maine last month. . . #tree #trees #pond #reflection #sky #clouds #skyporn #sunset #sunsetphotography #sunsetlovers #sunset_pics #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #naturephotography #naturelover #nature_brilliance #natureperfection #photographyeveryday #naturelovers #exploretocreate #ig_landscape_lovers #usparksandmonuments #nationalparks #explore #travel #lovetheearth_youliveon #amazing_shots #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CWie5gbFFNb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Everglades Sunset, Parkland, Florida. Keeping it safe and close to where we live, my wife and I have been taking evening walks along the levee in the Everglades. We are struck by the beauty of the landscape very close to home. . . #levee #everglades #sky #clouds #sunset #sunsetphotography #water #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #photography #photographylovers #photographyislife #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #explore #exploreeverything #exploretocreate #nationalparks #usparksandmonuments #ig_landscape_lovers #lovetheearth_youliveon #lovelyplanet_earth #DivinePhotoArtists https://www.instagram.com/p/B91cB_AAYnb/?igshid=1sblp5w3yl09g

Fall Forest. Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine. The Fall colors are almost blindingly beautiful in this image. I passed by this area the following day and it had changed dramatically. These peak colors simply do not last very long. #tree #trees #treesofinstagram #forest #woodland #colorful #fallcolors #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection#photographylovers #photographyislife #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #exploretocreate #nationalparks #usparksandmonuments #earthescope #lovetheearth_youliveon #nature_lovers_unite_ #landscape_features_ #treemendous_trees #DivinePhotoArtists https://www.instagram.com/p/B310kBoABOq/?igshid=p293vrtgrj66

Changing Colors, Fall Leaves Doing Their Thing, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine. I thought that this was an amazing example of the leaf transformation that takes place each Fall. It was strikingly beautiful here in Maine until the nor’easter hit the other night. Sadly, it stripped much of this color from the trees and did a lot of other damage as well. #tree #trees #treesofinstagram #fallcolors #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #photographylovers #photographyislife #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #exploreeverything #exploretocreate #nationalparks #usparksandmonuments #earthescope #ig_landscape_lovers #lovetheearth_youliveon #nature_lovers_unite_ #landscape_features_ #Earthcapture #treemendous_trees #DivinePhotoArtists #hikewithpk https://www.instagram.com/p/B3wZy1dAqUo/?igshid=m50wckkjompo

Reflections, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Maine. The serenity of this scene, a photo that I took just a few days ago, has been demolished by the ferocious nor’easter now hitting New England. Winds of 40 mph, with higher gusts, along with rain, have pretty much stripped the leaves from the trees. I am in a hotel right now hoping that we don’t lose power before the winds start to diminish in a few hours. Difficult to believe that it was this peaceful and beautiful not too long ago. #tree #trees #treesofinstagram #fallcolors #reflections #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #photographylovers #photographyislife #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #explore #exploretocreate #nationalparks #usparksandmonuments #earthescope #ig_landscape_lovers #lovetheearth_youliveon #nature_lovers_unite_ #landscape_features_ #Earthcapture #treemendous_trees #DivinePhotoArtists https://www.instagram.com/p/B3t8nRmAzmE/?igshid=10bulneiy50ty

Fall Colors, Mount Desert Island, Maine. I took this photo on the day that I arrived in Maine, when the colors were literally on fire. A week later, after a few days of wind and rain, the trees had lost much of their glow, and were far more bare and less vibrant. It is always sad to see the color change come to an end, but I guess that’s what makes this time of the year in New England so unique and so special. I have some fine photos of fall color to post over the next few weeks. #tree #trees #treesofinstagram #fallcolors #maine #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #photographylovers #photographyislife #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #exploretocreate #earthescope #ig_landscape_lovers #lovetheearth_youliveon #nature_lovers_unite_ #landscape_features_ #Earthcapture #treemendous_trees #DivinePhotoArtists #hikewithpk https://www.instagram.com/p/B3rfsO3gaf9/?igshid=1g1p16rqrii1e

Fall Colors, Mount Desert Island, Maine. I took this photo on the day that I arrived in Maine. In the subsequent week, with the wind and the rain, much of the beauty has been washed away, leaving the trees much more bare and less vibrant. It is always sad to see these changes come to an end, but it is also what makes this time of the year in New England a little more special. #tree #trees #colorful #sky #clouds #treesofinstagram #fall #fallcolors #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #photographylovers #photographyislife #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #exploretocreate #earthescope #ig_landscape_lovers #lovetheearth_youliveon #nature_lovers_unite_ #landscape_features_ #Earthcapture #treemendous_trees #DivinePhotoArtists #hikewithpk https://www.instagram.com/p/B3reaSxAICv/?igshid=ssruaklv7l90

Perturbed Seagull, Schoodic Point, Acadia National Park, Maine. Like me, this seagull seemed none too happy about the off and on windy, drizzly conditions the past few days. That’s one of the constant challenges of landscape photography, the less-than-predictable weather.

Fall Color and Reflections, Medomak River, Maine. There are few sights in nature that bring a more peaceful feeling than watching the beauty of Fall color appear. Few states can match the annual spectacle of the color change in Maine.

Life (and Death) in the Wild, Elephant Carcass, Okavango Delta, Botswana. I find myself vacillating on my feelings about this image. Is it a striking image of the reality of life in Southern Africa, or simply a sad portrayal of the death of a young elephant long before its time? I suspect probably a little of both. #elephant #carcass #animal #wildlife #wildlifephotography #landscape #landscapelovers #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #photography #photographylovers #photographyislife #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #explore #exploreeverything #exploretocreate #earthescope #ig_landscape_lovers #lovetheearth_youliveon #lovelyplanet_earth #nature_lovers_unite_ #landscape_features_ #DivinePhotoArtists https://www.instagram.com/p/B3eXHlQA-OI/?igshid=1ryoklk01m49g

The Reality of Life in the Wild, Small Elephant Carcass, Chitabe Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana. I keep vacillating between my feelings about this photo. Is it a striking image of life in southern Africa, or is it just a sad portrayal of the death of a young animal?
