The beach a few steps from the cottage we stayed at on PEI was a wonderful place. This sandstone round caught my eye as it sat just above the line of wet and dry sand.

This scene greeted us on our arrival as we stepped out onto the back deck of our chalet in Chamonix for the first time. The Dôme de Goûter and Aiguille de Bionassay were shrouded in cloud and lit up with sunset alpenglow.

A veil of flowing water transforms colorful river bottom stones into an expressionistic splotches of color. The shot was taken knee-deep in the Huntington Rive near the Green Mountain Audubon Center in Huntington.
