May 20 - James River Bridge

Just one more from Springfield Lake camera club trip - this is the bridge over the James River right before it turns into Springfied Lake.

February 11 - Ice on James River

An ice storm that made its way through our area today left branches and trees laden with nearly an inch of ice. It's pretty as long as your power is on, and then it's not so pretty. So far, it's pretty!

It was sprinkling while I took these shots, so I didn't have a lot of time to shoot.


Mary has the only bit of color in an otherwise drab environment.

January 7 - James River Bridge

It's been really warm lately - windy and sunny and not very winterly at all. But some clouds starting forming today (which turned into tornado warnings) that I wanted to get out and photograph. Unfortunately my choices were limited and I ended up at this bridge over the James River not too far from my house.

November 29 - Additional James River Pictures

I've worked on a few more images from last weekend's trip to a farm in the James River valley just south of Nixa.

Last Saturday was a nice, quiet, still morning and about half of an inch of snow was covering the ground (I was wearing shorts, of course). Though black and white images are easily my favorite medium, it's just hard to portray some scenes without color. This was one such scene where the sky started to glow pink in the sky. It only lasted a few minutes, but it was really special - it kind of makes you feel connected to the sky somehow.



And here's a picture of one of the dogs that travelled with us.

November 24 - James River

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

It's been a while since I've had a chance to do any photography. But today, I finally got out and visited a friend who owns a farm on the James River, just south of Nixa. It was a great place to photograph, and even though this outing had been scheduled for a few days, the snow that greeted us this morning certainly added to the experience.

December 2 - James River

It was a pretty cold morning a couple of Saturdays ago when I went down to the James River near my home. Temps had been in the single digits that morning, and frost and ice was everywhere, along with some snow left over from a couple of days earlier.

October 12 - James River Leaves

I went for a short drive down to the James River this evening - just an excuse to get out of the house, really. While the trees around this area are still a long way from being colorful, the underbrush is putting on a nice display. Their leaves, which are already falling, sometimes continue their journey on the graceful current of the James River. Here are a few that are resting for a spell before heading further downstream.
