Virginia Creeper
Parthenocissus quinquefolia (five leaf) is a native member of the grape family that grows throughout our region. Fall color is a spectacular scarlet to purple-red. Here it is growing on sycamore and yellow poplar.

Marsh Mallows In the Potomac
I enjoy the interaction of the marsh mallow stems and the reflections. The third level of existence is the river rocks showing beneath the reflections in the foreground, with one protruding through the surface into the first world. Then there is the color!

Massive Sycamore
Plantanus occidentalis, along the Potomac. There are some really massive trees along the Potomac— cottonwoods, silver maples, but mostly American sycamore, the most massive tree of the East. As big as these trees are now, they will get bigger.
It can be hard to convey scale in a photograph unless you have some universally recognized visual reference in the image, like a person. But then you have a person in the image and all that goes along with that. Not to mention that you have to have someone with you when you are out and about.

Sycamore
Plantanus occidentalis, one of my most favored subjects. This was along the C&O Canal. This is another of those images that really needs to be seen large, much larger than is possible here. Nothing special to report on the processing of this image. I look forward to making a platinum or gravure print of this one day. I hope you enjoy it!

Cold!
A very cold dusk on the Potomac a couple of years ago.

Underworld
I hope this works at this small size… not sure it does. I think mural size for this one.
