After years of planning and missed chances, I finally captured the full moon setting behind Mount Washington—an alignment that happens only a few times a year and is often lost to clouds or the chaos of life. I began the overnight hike at 7 pm, pushing through six inches of fresh snow with a recent back injury and only two hours of sleep in a shelter. I reached this overlook with just minutes to spare. The wind was brutal, my hands were frozen, but the moonlit alpenglow over the Presidential Range made every step of the 12-mile trek worth it.

I set out before dawn, hoping to photograph the full moon setting over the Holyoke Range. I knew the moon would dip behind the ridge just as the first sunlight touched the mountain tops, but clouds moved in and obscured the view. I pivoted and drove to Moody Bridge Road, where I knew this tree stood in a good position for the sunrise. As I stepped out to take a few frames, a patch of golden fiddlehead ferns caught my eye just west of the road. Their yellow-green fronds glowed against the cool-toned grass while the sky behind them erupted in fiery color—streaks of orange, purple, and magenta sweeping above the silhouetted tree. It wasn't the scene I had planned for, but it was worth the lack of sleep and difficult pre-coffee decision-making.

I captured this moment on a quiet morning along the Norwottuck Rail Trail in Amherst. The air was still, and a soft fog rolled through the golden canopy of late autumn leaves. A lone cyclist emerged in the distance, their silhouette framed by the warm hues of oak and pine. The path, littered with damp leaves, carried the earthy fall scent. Mornings like this—quiet, rich with color, and wrapped in mist offer a sense of calm and solitude.

The third time is the charm! Over the past year, I have visited this lake in Vermont three times, chasing the aurora, and I finally caught it! If you attempt to photograph the aurora, you know how frustrating it can be. Clouds, the moon, and current issues with predicting the timing and power of the aurora can make it painful, but if you get lucky, it is worth it. This aurora was short and not very intense, but it provided some beautiful color to bring together this composition of the heart-shaped puddle in the foreground.

This hill in Vermont looked like a small island floating above a sea of fog. As the sun rose and the light hit the orange, red, and green foliage on the hill the contrast between color, texture, and light became vivid.

The fog in the Pioneer Valley creates some of the most beautiful scenes in Massachusetts. I found the river covered in a low-lying fog during an early morning in late October. The colors of the foliage were deep and saturated after the sun rose and hid behind an eastern cloud. The Holyoke Range provided a nice background element far away across the sea of fog behind the vibrant trees on Mount Warner in Hadley, MA

The perseids were spectacular this year. Despite the constant rain and clouds this summer in New England, we had a few clear nights near the meteor shower's peak. A few incredible fireballs flashed through my frame during the night at Wickett Pond in Wendell, MA. This image is a composite of six images taken at the lake that night: one of the Milky Way (with a meteor), one of me standing in the water, and four more meteor strikes.
