Idlewild Falls

A few weeks ago I went back to the waterfalls at Lake Idlewild just outside of Waterville, Kansas to see if there was much water running and if there was any ice on the waterfalls. It turned out that there was moderate water flowing and still some ice frozen over the waterfalls.

Getting around the waterfalls was a bit tricky with all the snow covered rocks, but the climb over the rocks was worth it. There are 2 major waterfalls here, I first went down to the lower level falls and then worked my way back up the falls right below the lake. This was my third trip to photograph these waterfalls and I'm sure I will be back many more times. Click on the link below to view my photographs:

Little Blue River

I had a chance this weekend to sneak out to catch the sunset over the Little Blue River just outside of Waterville, Kansas. Ice was starting form in pretty big sheets and it was interesting to watch (and hear!) it break up and flow down river. I think I'm ready for some winter photography now!

Show coming up

I'm way behind on updating my blog recently, I've been shooting too much and processing too little! I did get some great news this summer though, my work is going to be on display at the Lee Dam Center for Fine Arts in Marysville KS this summer. The opening night is July 31st and I think the show will run for 6 weeks. If you are in the area, stop in and check it out and let me know what you think.

Marshall County Waterfalls

Earlier this spring I was up in Marshall County to photograph the waterfalls at Alcove Springs and Lake Idlewild after some heavy rains. It was well worth the trip. A few pics from this trip can be viewed here.

Enjoy!

13th Road

A few photos taken along "13th Road" outside of Waterville, KS.

Lake Idlewild Outlet Area

One of my favorite things to photograph is running water, especially waterfalls. As you might expect, there are not all that many opportunities in Kansas for this, but we do have more than one might think. Of course these are not the 90-100' type waterfalls, but still pretty and peaceful to listen to. This set of photos was taken at the outlet area of a small lake, Lake Idlewild, near Waterville, KS.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Christmas Sunset

Sunset on Christmas Day was fantastic! Didn't really get a good shot of it, but here are a few photos I took that evening.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Peace.

Bison hunting in Marshall County, KS

I was back visiting my parents this past weekend and went to take some pics with my Dad. The weather was crappy, the wind was blowing like crazy so we decided rather than fight the wind trying to get some landscape photos we would go bison "hunting" and photograph a small bison heard just outside of Waterville. We also stopped and "shot" some cows and horses and even a barn! Here are the pics.

Enjoy!

Marshall County Fall Colors

October 24th was a busy day for photography! After shooting around Tuttle Creek lake that morning (see my previous post) I went to Waterville and took some photos with Dad out around the Alcove Springs area. We were hoping some water would be flowing over Alcove Springs, but no luck there. However the trees were really beautiful and we had great light. The photos can be viewed here.

Enjoy!

Marshall County 8-23-08

It is getting closer to fall! The sorghum (milo) fields are heading out and starting to turn their fall colors. These are some pictures, both color and IR, of a recent drive through Marshall County where my Dad and I caught an amazing sunset.

Enjoy!

Alcove Springs...again

Well with all the recent rain we have had, I figured that the waterfalls at Alcove Springs might be pretty to photograph this summer. So my Dad and I head out there July 5th....only to find the falls completely dry, not even a drop of water going over the drop off. Oh well, guess I will try again this winter during some snow melt. We did find a nice little open area of prairie above the falls that had some really nice wildflowers in it to photograph and also some cooperative cattle on the drive back into Waterville. A few of the photos can be viewed here.

Enjoy.

Marshall County Fall Photos

I'm behind in getting my news page updated with where I've been shooting, so this is the first of several quick updates. Here are some photos I took in Marshall County, KS earlier this fall. Some storm clouds were moving in and provided some nice shots.
