This photograph was taken at Little Long Pond in Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. After several days of clear weather, waves of fog drifted across Little Long Pond this morning. The fog created a dreamy atmosphere as various groups of trees appeared and disappeared as the morning wore on. I spotted these two leaning curved trees from several hundred yards away, but I had to wade quite a distance along the shore of the pond to get close enough to get this shot, even with a long lens.

How do I capture an image of an iconic location that reflects its unique beauty but also causes people to ask, "Where is that?" That was the question on my mind as I prepared to photograph the famous Horseshoe Bend in the Colorado River near Page, Arizona. While access to the area is surprisingly easy, entrance requires a fee and is allowed only during "open" hours.

Braided rivers are compelling photographic subjects. New Zealand is one of just a small number of places where extensive braided river systems are found. They are normally associated with wide valleys adjacent to mountain ranges, formed by the constant movement of silt, gravel, and other sediment erosion washed down the mountain slopes.

Life on the Great Plains is physically difficult, but there is a unique beauty within that difficulty. This image was created in the "blue hour" after sunset on a day when the wind chill was -35°C. It was that brutal cold that led me to the biting iciness of this image.

While driving back to the touristic town of Canmore after dropping my husband off to cycle a challenging trail to Banff, I got this breathtaking view of the Bow Valley nestled in the shadow of the majestic Rocky Mountains. I could clearly see the circuitous glacial Bow River, whose source, the Wapta Icefield, is deep within the Rockies.
