Here is a gallery of the 31 photographs that will be hanging in my upcoming show (Central Vermont Medical Center, January 20-March 20). Enjoy!
I think the April waxing crescent moon, hung in a blue scrim evening sky, complements the Black Locust perfectly. It is a scene I always look forward to seeing—luckily it is just down the street!
Hoarfrost on a leaf of Red Oak (Quercus rubra). The trick here was to not exhale while focusing!
I don’t know when I first began to look at and see new ice forming, but I’ve not tired of doing so yet! The 3-dimensional crystals that form and reflect the sky and refract what is in or under the ice provide endless variations of “ice art.” I am particularly fond of this one, reminescent of an Oriental painting, with a stem of grass trapped in the ice.
One of my great pleasures in life is watching the transitions of the seasons. The leaves of a Red Oak (Quercus rubra) under a dusting of snow will miraculously connect the lovely reddish-borwns of late fall to hundreds of shades of green of next Spring when the tree pushes forth new leaves.
There are many times when what I see through my viewfinder seems impossible. This photo (and several others I made the same day) of fall foliage reflected in the water of a small stream left me breathless.
I made this photograph on the same day and in the same location as yesterday’s post, just a few feet further upstream with different trees in the background and a different kind of water ripple.
I so enjoy seeing the world reflected in water. This was a special day in Amsterdam where the buildings and blue sky and the capricious wind currents over the canals all created a “painting” I think would have fascinated many of that city’s artists.
Underwater sand formations and a passing speed boat make a perfect composition, all from 20,000 feet in the air just off the coast of South Florida.
Great photos, John. Look forward to seeing them when they go up at the hospital.

Great choices. Some of my favorites. Good luck.
I will be there!
Beautiful!

Thank you, Jean. I wish you could pop in and see them in person! Be well. John
