A Little Peace and Quiet Beaver Dam State Park is a favorite location of mine. When fog rolls in the mood of the lake changes dramatically. The park has a number of Wood Duck houses placed on poles in shallow water to protect the nest from predators. I waded into the lake to compose the Wood Duck house against the peace and quiet of the foggy shoreline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1585930929753-5BK1IECNH9AFN4VML989/EveningofReflectionsColorHFA016.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - Evening of Reflections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1657572025336-A02VYA7KOQ7FH4BDWCLS/FallHighlightsColorHFA021.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - Fall Highlight One of my favorite places for Fall photography is a small pond at the family farm. Cool temperatures and warm water produced misty conditions across the watery surface, when I noticed the first rays of morning light filtering through trees illuminating the far shoreline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1586892110626-855E10LIBNGCCGCMXYTT/FallSignatureColorHFA015.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - Fall Signature Beaver Dam State Park is great any time of the year, but Fall is my favorite. The 1.7, mile path around the park’s 57-acre lake offers numerous compositions, especially when fog is present. The lake has an average depth of four feet, so old stumps are common around the water’s edge. I came across this stump surrounded by fallen leaves, which signals the changing seasons and acts as a foreground to the distant shoreline. What’s great about this morning is the peace and quiet present in the hours just after sunrise. The only things that broke the silence were the geese and herons that inhabit the area.~ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1657482038485-BPSMXB0OYG7TO9SHW0XL/GearingUpforFallColorHFA021.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - Gearing Up For Fall Fall photography is full opportunity and surprises. Even though the trees haven’t started showing the various hues of Fall color; the cool mornings and warm water produce a misty vapor that glides across the pond, creating the moody tones of Fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1529955062965-P383J59ITYYOCGVZ0V0O/MoorofthePastColorHFA016.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - Moor of the Past https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1530053620413-AAL29BPAYXS2MQOEDC3O/SmokeontheWaterColorHFA016.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - Smoke on the Water https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1631306873374-M7QCG6RF2CD4J84Z68MJ/SummersEndColorHFA018.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - Summer's End As Summer ends, and Fall begins, crisp morning temperatures and patchy fog signal the changing seasons in rural Macoupin County, Illinois.

Normally, the stump would be nearly submerged, but the timeworn, tangled, root system is now visible due to the receding water, making an interesting composition against the foggy shoreline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1654719049691-4FTO8UDSF60H2CBQS0BJ/TheOtherSideColorHFA018.jpg Midwest Lakes and Ponds - The Other Side Fog wraps the opposite shoreline in an ethereal shroud of pre-dawn light, reflecting the magic of God’s creation.

Late summer Ironweed grows naturally in the open meadow. These tough plants provide nectar favored by a variety of pollinators and serves as the foreground for this family farm. Shot at sunset, the photo is a quintessential portrait of rural life cherished by those who appreciate life on or close to the land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1614135363922-FXSPSRV389S4IM7Z5MZR/EarlyRiserColorHSU2020.jpg Midwestern Barns - Early Riser Like a lot of my photos, this is a scene I’ve visited many times. It’s convenient because the barn sits a few miles from home, just off Route 4, for those who live in Macoupin County. While I’ve shot this barn before, it was almost always late in the day. Because I love morning light, I felt sunrise would provide the mood missing from previous attempts. As summer passes the sun pushed further to the south, rising just behind the old barn. As it rose, rays of light appear, highlighting the last of the early ground fog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1599513265006-KPAIWLW3AUTVMFPWO77Z/FallBlanketColorHWI019.jpg Midwestern Barns - Fall Blanket An early, November snowstorm sweeps through and blankets the area with a fresh layer of snow.

Overcast skies and drizzle create the atmosphere for this small footbridge, which is one of many along a path that surrounds the lake. Nestled among the trees that flank either side of the path, the bridge emerges out of nowhere making this a path worth taking.. - Limited edition print.~ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653238790327-K1OX9SA1YFER6LTMEDS6/EdsPlaceColorHFA021.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Ed's Place While out one foggy morning, I stopped by property owned by a friend. I had previously scouted for compositions and liked this small grouping of trees. A makeshift path running between the trees on the left and the group on the right, provides separation, allowing the fog in the background to bleed through. The combination of fall greens and fog creates a sense of peace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1615254890071-CZ10Z6IB2TCRR6GIN755/FallenbytheWaysideColorHFA2020.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Fallen by the Wayside Sometimes you don’t have to look far for a composition. This scene sits directly outside my front door, and I only recently realized what was right in front of my eyes. I’ve shot this several times, usually in the morning at different times of year. Generally, I shoot earlier but this is long after sunrise. It’s been somewhat dry leaving the lake level low, exposing a fallen tree and bare roots of another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1607904818019-T895QGJOS000N64HL9NE/GatesofFallColorHFA2020.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Gates of Fall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653185047910-UV01PVZ5PV7FPKNRZQ9M/PillarsofEdenColorVSU021.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Pillars of Eden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653169439293-DTCJPUIEW8BV4EUK8ZUS/JourneyThroughEdenColorVSU021.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Journey Through Eden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1593123816966-96I5J0BLZJLK5N57RXTS/SignsofFallColorHFA019crop.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Signs of Fall Overcast skies and drizzle create the atmosphere for an afternoon at Beaver Dam State Park. This small footbridge, which is one of many throughout the park, stood against the woodland background. Setting up for a shot, I noticed the summer color beginning to change to fall hues signaling the changing seasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1654542656819-SVDZ3PRFUW5KOMFDGXZD/SpringOakColorHSP022.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Spring Oak https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1605031747628-ZBJB52GL2P2187O448RX/StandTallColorVFA2020+2.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Stand Tall Woodland trees standing in lake water at our farm in Macoupin County, Illinois.

Gnarled and twisted, the tree writhes outward from a pile of brush and branches. It meanders in all directions, mysteriously reaching out in a fictional middle-earth setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1576711257610-JEH71N3YAPAOLA08LWGT/WispersintheWoodsColorHSU019.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Whispers in the Woods About 12 miles from town, in a foggy creek bottom near Plainview, I found this woodland scene. The morning was magical and still, the trees seemingly alive beyond what could be seen. - Limited edition print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1583698777565-O81DOJPED06ISJ5C2X8L/WinterColorColorVWI020.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Winter Color For me, winter offers fewer photographic opportunities. On this foggy, January day, I was able to capture three shots: January Fog, Heart of Winter and Winter Color. The compositions were simplified by snow and dense fog, revealing the lines and shapes typically hidden throughout the year. Winter Color gets its name from fall leaves that refuse to drop. There’s a general sense of peace and calm in an otherwise cold and overcast day. All three images are similar, making them great for grouping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653164645263-VWZ7VOE00UYZNUW77OXZ/WorldsApartColorVFA2020.jpg Midwestern Woodland - Worlds Apart I found this place while traveling the back roads of Macoupin County near Beaver Dam State Park. Fog filled the early morning and bottoms behind the park, filtering through the trees into the composition. Standing there, I couldn’t help notice how mysterious the scene had become, almost like I was in another world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653185482456-0EM12NJ6AANSDJVDFTNY/PreludetoFallPSU021.jpg Midwestern Woodland https://www.pixstarr.com/panos daily 0.75 2021-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1615666839699-FUSIEH6OD47R14MJ57QJ/CountryLivinPFA2020.jpg Midwest landscape panoramas - Country Livin' 40x20 pano https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1615768495138-RNQ5B4Z2CX15LYF80059/NightlyRitualColorPSU018.jpg Midwest landscape panoramas - Nightly Ritual 28x14 pano https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1640048238553-HPFY6ZMER3WJ201NPO0U/testPSU021.jpg Midwest landscape panoramas - Morning Paradise 48x16 pano https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653697779948-NPB6IP908PYL4C3AGNMC/PreludetoFallPSU021.jpg Midwest landscape panoramas - Prelude to Fall 48x16 pano https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1525461421383-NYEWHDS06BDRCQ8LD1ZB/Fall-Signature.jpg Midwest landscape panoramas https://www.pixstarr.com/open-spaces daily 0.75 2021-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653099172167-3YCNJ42XLSLB1XY4CMVB/DawningAnticipationColorHSU016.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Dawning Anticipation 24x14 While scouting the rural area near my home, I discovered this beautiful patch of wild Black-eyed Susan. I returned the next day at dawn, anticipating the potential for a beautiful sunrise, and I wasn’t disappointed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1639787073586-JZ52W5TSMU9KOHVOLMH8/FieldofBeansColorSQSU021.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Field of Beans 16x16 Just off one the backroads near my home in Macoupin County, I shot this wonderful scene. Smoke from western fires filters the sky allowing me to shoot long after sunrise. Ground fog clings to a field of mid-season soybeans in low-lying bottoms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1639854605239-7P82X46P9FQGUUMBFPP1/FilteredLightColorHSU021.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Filtered Light 24x16 This is a favorite spot of mine. I love it’s eastern exposure, fence line and seasonal changes. Dawning Anticipation, which I shot in 2016, was photographed about 30 yards from where I’m standing. Photographers always talk about filtered light and use a variety of techniques to achieve their goals. For weeks, wild fires in the west have raged out-of-control. Smoke from the fires have made its way across the country, creating a haze in the early morning sky. This acts as a filter against harsh sunlight and creates warm hues of morning color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1639862050430-VWA8KK2HYP73XFYFVMDG/ColorHSU021.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Greener Pastures 24x16 I found this composition while photographing a nearby fence line. Wild goldenrod grows in the foreground and midground of a hillside surrounded by trees. I love how the elements come together in a painterly way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1639865083315-PVWLAQXCG0DACYNM8OMW/HammannsBottomColorHSU019.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Hamman's Bottom 24x16 It’s summer, which means farmers harvest hay to sell or feed. The hillside above the fields below would have been filled with bales of recently cut hay. However, I was too late and all the bales had been picked up. Fortunately, one was left behind and I was able to come up with one simple composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1583620315318-8US795Q02UUI5YAH92H2/HeartofWinterColorVWI020.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Heart of Winter 16x24 For me, Winter offers fewer photographic opportunities. On this foggy, January day, I was able to capture three shots: January Fog, Heart of Winter and Winter Color. The compositions were simplified by snow and dense fog, revealing the lines and shapes typically hidden throughout the year. There’s a general sense of peace and calm in an otherwise cold and overcast day. All three images are similar, making them great for grouping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1583619484353-9U128JPDQ3BI1Y3CW7KC/JanuaryFogColorHWI020.jpg Wide Open Spaces - January Fog 24x16 For me, Winter offers fewer photographic opportunities.

The road winds into the distant trees, pulling you deeper into the scene, just as the sun filters through the last of the morning fog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653161946130-9YVHZMQE1SF5SKFOV7OT/OminousColorHSP021.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Ominous 24x16 I found this composition between stops to the laundromat. I usually don’t like midday photos but couldn’t pass up this small outcropping of trees against the ominous sky. The sun popped out from behind illuminating the field and tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1631291108240-V5AMJMMBUMM4BCJ4J6NQ/OneJulyMorningBWHSU2020.jpg Wide Open Spaces - One July Morning 24x14 I’ve photographed this tree many times at different angles. I always wanted a shot of fog shrouding the tree and pasture, finally getting an opportunity in mid-July when ground fog rolled in and out of the lower parts of pasture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1653100573298-8PQFU2HL9DGH6G88Z9EU/SummerBouquetColorHSU019.jpg Wide Open Spaces - Summer Bouquet 24x16 Sunrise is a magical time of day; the early light spills across the landscape revealing the best of Mother Nature. This shot is truly one of my favorites; the combination of cool fog and warm sunrise tones, embrace each other in a moment of quiet reflection, that fuels the spirit. - Limited Edition print. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1525461421383-NYEWHDS06BDRCQ8LD1ZB/Fall-Signature.jpg Wide Open Spaces https://www.pixstarr.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2020-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1525024564457-RB4VZH775SAL5GFNMDM3/me.jpg Pixstarr Midwest Landscape Photography - Barns, Bales, Fences, Ponds, Farmland and Woodlands (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1601250913912-MP2UBPLXT6I2JOEPZIUN/midwest_landscape_photo3.jpg Pixstarr Midwest Landscape Photography - Barns, Bales, Fences, Ponds, Farmland and Woodlands (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1601250953385-R6VA269U5X88DS3CLZ45/midwest_landscape_photo4.jpg Pixstarr Midwest Landscape Photography - Barns, Bales, Fences, Ponds, Farmland and Woodlands (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1601250954015-Z5GEYY75QI0RFLHK627T/midwest_landscape_photo5.jpg Pixstarr Midwest Landscape Photography - Barns, Bales, Fences, Ponds, Farmland and Woodlands (Copy) https://www.pixstarr.com/events daily 0.75 2021-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1525112573459-C6VKAJ0NAVJSMRDPDUHX/bridge.png Events - Road to Barnett https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1525021803183-SPPMC2P57AXWEGJWBADM/Fall-Signature.jpg Events https://www.pixstarr.com/heavy-fog daily 0.75 2021-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1640048808687-IJDD6OCQ6KBCE72G8PRV/BackyardFortyColorHFA021border.jpg All About Fog - Backyard Forty 24x16 Backyard Forty - I shot this within walking distance of home. The neighbor baled his pasture and was nice enough to leave the bales stand long enough for the morning weather to cooperate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1631224299393-2MIQYZZ25O0XPE9LY0GH/FoggedInColorHSU021.jpg All About Fog - Fogged In 24x16 A single tree stands in stark contrast to morning fog drifting across a low-lying bean field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4b820da02bc2c12392d16/1631220599831-MWPX3V7HS1K28ZVFLIUA/JurassicMorningColorHSU021.jpg All About Fog - Jurassic Morning 24x16 Standing on the hillside overlooking the bottoms as fog rolls across the trees below.
