Sharon Woods in Sharonville, Ohio, left me longing

Sharon Woods in Sharonville, Ohio, left me longing for more time. As I set up to capture the waterfall in its moody, overcast glory, a looming thunderstorm added a dramatic touch to the scene. However, just moments after I snapped these photos, the heavens opened up in a torrential downpour. ¶

At the break of dawn amidst the rugged grandeur of

At the break of dawn amidst the rugged grandeur of Seneca Rocks, an old adage of the wilderness resonates: the early bird beholds the most mesmerizing sights. During the hush of the preceding night, warm winds performed a ballet, gracefully ascending the jagged visage of the stones. As these currents ascended, they expanded and cooled in a captivating process known as adiabatic cooling. Upon meeting the dew point, a mystic veil of fog weaved itself around the landscape.

Emerging from the cocoon of my campsite, my eyes met with a breathtaking tableau: the final wisps of fog lovingly embracing the timeworn crags. Yet, like many of nature’s grand displays, its duration was ephemeral. In a mere heartbeat of the day – about 20 minutes – the misty shroud disappeared, engraving a moment of Seneca’s dawn enchantment forever on the camera. ¶

Nestled in the rolling hills of Fayette County, We

Nestled in the rolling hills of Fayette County, West Virginia, lies Plum Orchard Lake. The 202-acre lake is part of the Plum Orchard Lake Wildlife Management Area, surrounded by oak and hickory forests and teeming wetlands. What makes this truly unique is the thousands of American white water lilies (Nymphaea odorata) covering the lake’s north end. These were planted for ornamentation by a local garden club in the 1970s but have since overtaken portions of the lake. ¶

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Tulip Time Festival, a captivating celebration nestled in the heart of Holland, Michigan. As I ventured into this extraordinary event for the first time, I discovered a kaleidoscope of colors that transformed the city streets and parks into an awe-inspiring symphony of vibrant hues.

Spanning over the course of a week, the Tulip Time festival seamlessly weaves together the rich tapestry of the region's Dutch heritage and its enduring tulip-growing tradition, which traces its roots back to the 19th century. The meticulously manicured gardens and arranged flowerbeds serve as a breathtaking backdrop for the festivities. Tulips of every imaginable variety stretch towards the sky, their petals unfurling in a magnificent display of nature's artistry.

As I bid farewell to the Tulip Time Festival, I made a promise to myself, a pledge to return to this captivating oasis for more than just a few fleeting hours next year. For the Tulip Time Festival is not merely a destination, but a sensory journey that beckons all who yearn for beauty, tradition, and the joy of life itself. ¶

On an autumn journey to Dolly Sods, I was joined by two fellow photographers, Jason Furda and Daniel Thompson, each of us eager to capture the essence of this untouched wilderness. Located in the heart of the Monongahela National Forest, the Dolly Sods is a vast landscape that stretches across the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia. Its unique position atop the highest elevation plateau east of the Mississippi River offers panoramic views that seem painted by nature’s finest brushstrokes. (1/2)

On a clear autumn day, I found myself at the R. J.

On a clear autumn day, I found myself at the R. J. Corman farm near Wilmore. It was no surprise to see the horse and cattle farm beautifully lined with maple trees, their leaves a fiery spectrum of reds. The scene seemed a fitting homage to Rick Corman’s enduring impact.

Richard J. “Rick” Corman was a prominent businessman and entrepreneur in Central Kentucky, known for his dynamic presence and significant contributions to the railroad industry.

Born in 1955, Rick Corman began working in the railroad sector at a young age. His entrepreneurial journey started in 1973 when he established his own company with just one backhoe. He nurtured this venture into the R. J. Corman Railroad Group, a comprehensive railroad service and support enterprise that offers services including construction, operation of short-line railroads, and emergency response for the railroad industry.

Corman’s strong work ethic, visionary leadership, and innovation fueled the growth of the R. J. Corman Railroad Group. The company became notable in the regions it operated, particularly recognized by its striking red locomotives which symbolized swift and efficient service.

Beyond his entrepreneurial success, Rick Corman was equally celebrated for his philanthropy and active engagement in community work. He bravely fought multiple myeloma for over a decade, exhibiting relentless tenacity and resilience that mirrored his approach to business.

Rick Corman passed away on August 23, 2013, leaving a profound legacy in both the commercial realm and his local community.
