I did find another nest that was also surrounded by water in a completely different location later that same summer.

My adrenaline started flowing! The sunset was 1 1/2 hours away and the western sky was clear. Possibilities! While on the shore line 2 more snow squalls blasted through lasting just a few minutes each. Here is one getting lit up by the setting sun to the west. A photograph will never fully convey what I witnessed but here is an attempt. Magic!! Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/colors/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/colors.jpg Colors A simple sunrise reflection with the forground rocks catching the beautiful light and colors.

Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sliveroflight/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/sliveroflight.jpg Sliver of Light The sky was clear on this morning as I approached the trailhead. As I descended into the Quabbin Reservoir the stars disappeared above the wall of fog. On the shoreline I sat under this blanket of fog but I knew there was a light show happening above. I could see just a glimmer of it through a tiny opening in the blanket.  Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/atlantic-dawn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/Atlantic-Dawn.jpg Atlantic Dawn I have spent so many morning mesmerized by the crashing waves at this location. There is something about the energy of the ocean that clenses me. Yes, I do photograph the waves too. Someday I'll get to editing more of them :-) Florida https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/islandwindow/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/islandwindow.jpg Island Window Searching for some new locations to explore I found this little island sandwiched between two larger islands. It was raining during my first visit but I suspected a cold morning and some surface fog could add to the composition. I was back a few days later for this capture at sunrise.  Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/calling/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/gymglish.jpg Calling This is a location where, so many years ago, I spent many mornings learning to see and getting connected. Visiting this place always fills me with a feeling of calm and clarity. Thankfully I have many such location close to home but this was one of the first. It had been a while since I spent time chasing light here but for some reason this fall and winter it continues to call me back. I listen.     Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/backlit-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/backlit2020.jpg Continuing with the Hadley, MA theme. As seems to always be the case- I scouted this spot a few days earlier and noticed that the sun would rise somewhere near the end of the road but didn't know exactly where so I decided to check it out one morning when I didn't think the conditions would be great because it was clear skies. I was happy to find this ground fog slowly moving through the seen and kept waiting to see the sun surface, expecting it to be off to the left. I didn't notice that it had already come up until I started seeing the sun flares shooting through the tree. A pleasant surprise and a composition I will surely revisit when the sunrise is in that spot again. At this time of year it is rising way off to the right/south. Thanks for viewing!!!

Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/ripples/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/ripples.jpg Ripples Another magical morning paddling around in the fog.  Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/amoment/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/Amoment.jpg A Moment I arrived at the shoreline about one hour before sunrise expecting a light show based on the weather forecast but nothing happened. Then as I was exploring the shoreline in search of new compositions I glanced up to see the bottom of a thick blanket of clouds light up magenta. It lasted about 5 minutes. I had just enough time to grab my 400mm and get a couple of frames before it faded away. Although I would have like to see some reflection it was a bit windy so that wasn't possible so I kept the water to a minimun in the composition. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/thenandnow-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/thenandnow.jpg Then and Now The shores of the Quabbin are full of remnants of the past. What's left of the large trees that stood tall in this area in the late 1800s are just weathered root structures. I have photographed many. This one in particular I remember finding many years ago (20+) but just recently photographed it for the first time.  Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/amethystbrookfog/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/AmethystBrook.jpg Amethyst Brook When I look out the window and see a fog filled forest there are a few places close to home that I'll wander for a bit. This is one of them that I know well. It's always extra special when I can explore and create so close to home.

New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/pinball/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/pinball.jpg Pinball A capture from earlier this winter when temps were a bit colder. I had scouted this spot the day before and found a different foreground that I really liked and while photographing that during the predawn light show I spotted this interesting hole in the ice that wasn't there the day before when I scouted. Sometimes the changing winter conditions can add interesting surprises. This is a 4 image focus stack exposure blend.

Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/lightcatcher/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/lightcatcher.jpg Light Catcher Sunrise this morning. It's been a while since I've watched the sunrise in this spot. High water levels submerged my compositions for the last couple of years. Water levels are down now and thankfully I spent a little time here scouting for new compositions last week. Most of the time I like to try to have a plan so I'm not frantically searching during the show. This was a special one and although I had a few more comps I wanted to get to I couldn't pull myself away from this stream.

Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/breakingaway/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/breakingaway.jpg Breaking Away Sometimes thick fog can reveal compositions in familiar places. I've driven by these trees hundreds of times and never felt the urge to break out my camera but on this day they spoke to me. Happy winter wandering!

Amherst, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/deansbrook/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/deanbrook.jpg Dean Brook I've been to this location many time and although I have a few images I like I have yet to find a composition I'm really happy with. This spot has potential. This is a capture just before sunset during a scouting visit. I'll spend more time on this spot to refine my composition in future visits. Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/photo-16/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/tullypink.jpg Tully Pink I spent some time paddling through a carpet of fog this fall. It was cool to be able to float around and change my compositions and angles so quickly. I'll have to do more of this. Paddling from one side of this lake to the other took 15 minutes.... It would have taken an hour by foot!! Royalston, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/photo-15/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/layers.jpg Layers Looking down at the fog floating through the Quabbin never gets old. New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/photo-14/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/GarwinFalls.jpg Garwin Falls My first visit to this location. The conditions were not great but I managed a couple comps that I was happy with. To get the look I was after in the swirling leaves required a 2 minute exposure. New Hampshire https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/photo-13/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/twisted.jpg Twisted I spent many hours here last winter and could fill my website with images.... but I'll take my time processing those :-) New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/photo-12/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/teeth.jpg Teeth So much potential here! I'll spend this winter getting to know this place.

I wish I had more time and a better frame of mind. They were gone the next day. Maybe I'll see it again this winter? and I'll be better prepared. Connecticut River https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/withangels/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/withangels.jpg With Angels I took the Old Town out for a paddle through a carpet of fog one cold morning this weekend.

I did a really quick scout of this spot a few weeks ago and was excited to get back. I finally had some time to scout again during a spectacular light show. I spent more time shooting than scouting though. Lots of potential here with cool rock formations but I’ll need a few more visits to get to know this place a little better. Maybe I’ll add this to my winter playground list this year. Getting to this spot was a bit sketchy and a little dangerous so my first task will be to see if I can find a safer route Connecticut River https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/novemberfog/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/novemberfog.jpg November Fog Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/moonriseoverquabbin/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/moonriseoverquabbin.jpg Moonrise over the Quabbin New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/frost/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/frost.jpg Frost New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/firstdate/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/firstdate.jpg First Date Connecticut River https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/enchanted/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/enchanted.jpg Enchanted Petersham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/dancingfog/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/dancingfog.jpg Dancing Fog Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/candy/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/candy-w4.jpg Candy Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/bendingtime/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/bendingtime.jpg Bending Time Where the light chasing began for me so many years ago. i have been here so many times but there is always something new waiting for me.

I’m not a big fan of 4th of July fireworks.... too loud and too many people for me. In my opinion there are far more impressive light shows happening in the sky throughout the year :-) I would far prefer to lay on Acadia granite listening to waves crashing under a blanket of stars and watch the moon rise over the ocean. It always amazes me that I have the coastline to myself every time? This is a special spot on the coast of Maine where I’ve watched and photographed many moonrises. I finally got around to editing one. This is a capture from this summer during our family camping trip in Maine. Thanks for stopping by. Acadia National Park, ME https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/springfog/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/springfog.jpg Spring Fog One of my favorite conditions to wander in is fog. On this morning it lasted for hours! I'm always amazed at how even the most familiar of places completely transform in the fog. I felt like I was visiting a foreign land.  New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/rediscovery/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/rediscovering.jpg Rediscovery Another of the many compositions I captured from this magical place last week. I find that sometimes the best compositions require getting a little (or a lot) wet. The challenge is keeping the camera lens from getting wet. - Sunderland, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/oceanbokeh/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/oceanbokeh.jpg Ocean Bokeh Something different- a capture from this past winter on the coast of Florida. My daughter Sky loves the ocean and waves and she joined me for a few sunrises in this location. Special times I’ll never forget. She particularly liked this capture so I thought I’d share it.

One interesting fact about this lungless species is that they don't need water to lay there eggs. The female will lay them under a moist log in the forest and the  baby salamanders will hatch as a miniature version of the adult. there is no aquatic larval phase!  Plethodon cinereus https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/springsalamander/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/Northernspringsal.jpg Northern Spring Salamander A large rare local lungless salamander found in clear forest streams.

On a couple days every month the crescent moon joins them and sits over this island. On this morning I arrived about 2 1/2 hours before sunrise to witness this special astrological event. I had planned this composition a few days earlier. Clouds were predicted to move in around sunrise and they did... that show was also special but thankfully they waited long enough for me to get a couple captured of the moon and planets first. I’ll eventually get to editing the sunrise captures but for now I thought I’d edit this image. This is a three image focus stack/ exposure blend.  New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/with-trees/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/with-trees.jpg With Trees I’ve got a bunch of images to share from my time at this island this winter. It keeps pulling me back. Although the location is the same I feel like the changing light and foregrounds tell different stories. A lesson I’ve been teaching for 20 years... just because you’ve been to a place once or a dozen times don’t ever think you’ve seen all it has to offer :-) This is what happens after a frozen lake is blanketed with a foot of wet snow that freezes and is then followed by warm temps and 2 inches of rain. These amazing holes form where the rain water collecting on the surface drain through the ice. There were so many interesting foregrounds here that I returned every chance I could for another week until a new snowstorm buried them forever. The composition I’ve captured here over the last month are some of my favorites partly because they will never happen again! Ever!  New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/violet-bubbles/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/violetbubbles.jpg Violet Bubbles Another capture from my 2 weeks with the ice at this location earlier this month. It was recently covered by snow but after a January heat wave and a couple inches of rain I’m curious to scout it again . This is a 6 images hand held focus stack /exposure blend. If someone spotted me here composing this shot (not likely ..in 20 years I’ve never -seen anyone here at sunrise) they might have called 911. I had to hang over a 3ft ledge with my elbows resting on the ice supporting me with the camera just a couple inches from the surface. I had one leg bent around a sapling for additional support. I couldn’t get a tripod into this tight spot. I had to get the shot without gloves because I needed the dexterity to keep the camera as still as possible while spinning the focus ring. The temp that morning was -5 Fahrenheit. I absolutely love what I do. ... it never feels like work ..... and time stands still :-) New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/a-glimpse/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/a-glimpse.jpg A Glimpse The lack of snow here in MA has made this location more easily accessible so I’ve spent lots of time here this winter. The patterns in the ice have made for some interesting foregrounds. I knew that once the snow arrived all my interesting foregrounds would be buried. Thankfully I had a couple weeks with the ice. The snow is here now!  New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/home2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/home.jpg Home I posted a different version of this image with a tiny me in the composition.

In the early days I always had the spot to myself for sunrise but it seems that lately I’m surrounded by photographers and constantly needing to make sure I’m not in someone else’s shot or that someone doesn’t walk into my comp. I’ve had people literally walk right in front of my camera and sit down to take selfies with their cell phone. The way of the world today I guess. I would never ask someone to move.... they have just as much right to be there as me but maybe I’ll have to find a new stretch of Anastasia Limestone to photograph and find the solitude I seek while I’m down there. :-) My approach has always been to find places that haven’t been photographed to death. I know we all see things a bit differently and the challenge of finding new interesting compositions in a familiar place is also fun and challenging.

I decided to wait for a clear night with a bit of a breeze that would eliminate the reflection in the distance.  Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/dancingwaters/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/water.jpg Dancing Waters While scouting mid day the sunlight dancing on the surface of the wind blown water caught my eye.  New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/spinning/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/spinning.jpg Spinning Another shot from my secret paradise in the forest near my home. As I was editing this capture I was thinking about all the variables that needed to come together to make it happen. The sunrise right over the top of the falls (1-2 weeks/ year), clear skies at that moment (maybe once/week) enough flow to create the spinning disc (very specific volume... too much or too little and my foreground is not there), me having a window of time to be there at that moment (required getting my daughters to school early on this day....not an easy task!! :-) ). I have visited this location over a hundred time and I’ve seen it all come together just a few. I know that to anyone sifting through the mass of images here on the internet this might not seem very special but for me, it’s these images that sit in my mind for years before the capture that are most special. Especially considering that there is probably not another soul on this planet that has ever laid on the wet stone and witnessed this spectacle. This 5 minute spectacle that might not happen again for a decade. It’s why I get out of bed at all hours of the night. It’s why I chase light. It’s why I wander. No words or images will ever convey the sense of connection I feel in these moments. In today’s world of travelers and so many images it seems that many think there is a place where the magic is and they just need to get on a plane and go there. To that place to recreate that image that has already been captured. My belief is that the magic place is everywhere and for me it’s the forest, lakes and stream close to my home. It’s nice to know that I don’t need to travel far to find what I’m looking for.

I know there were many people out there yesterday morning photographing it and I had to be one of them. :-) Here in Massachusetts we only got a partial lunar eclipse before the moon dipped below the horizon at sunrise. It is cool to think that so many eyeballs were gazing in the same direction. I was able to find solitude with one of my favorite trees during the spectacle. I know it's nothing to fancy but here is my contribution to the millions of images captured yesterday.

The total lunar eclipse was not visible here in Massachusetts. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/januarythaw/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/january-thaw.jpg January Thaw Something different. My photography takes me in many directions from tiny jumping spiders to epic sunrises, from waterfalls to water drops and everything inbetween. I haven't posted much variety here but maybe I'll start. The common thread is nature and the wild creatures and places that fill my soul. I've always felt most alive in those places. It's certainly a struggle to stay connected to the digital world but I continue to try. This capture was inspired by a January thaw. While I sat underneath a ledge in the forest where, on colder days, I find the most amazing ice formations on this day I found only drip,drip drip. It was also inspired by the cool water droplet studio captures I've seen posted in the past. As for the image- it is not captured in a studio. It was captured outside in natural light. The blue is the clear blue sky (the sun is just out of frame to the left) the 8 point sun stars (not my favorite) are caused by the small f-stop of my 24-105mm lense. I needed the focal length to get some distance from the drips otherwise I would have chosen a lense with a more appealing Sunstar :-) Minimal post processing- just some blending and raw adjustments. Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/eveningrainbow/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/evening-rainbow.jpg Evening Rainbow I've been lucky enough to witness a few of these over the years. A rainbow is a special site but a rainbow in a magenta sky takes it to another place. After a day of heavy rain and thunder the sky in all directions lit up pink as sunset approached. I took off for one of my favorite trees knowing that if a rainbow appeared it would be right over this tree. On the way there the rainbow did appear. I pulled over in a spot with a clear view of the eastern horizon and snapped a few shots of the rainbow (in case it faded before I got to my tree comp) It did and when I got to the location the rainbow was still there but fading fast. I was able to capture the last of the light on the tree and foreground with my shadow but no rainbow. This is a composite of the rainbow captured moments earlier. The magic of technology allowed me to go back in time and see the rainbow sitting over one of my favorite trees as I'm certain it did just a few minutes earlier. :-) Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/encore/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/encore.jpg Encore I'm always watching weather patterns and clouds trying to predict the magic and you would think after over 20 years of chasing light I'd feel confident I could predict the show but not even close. I've been absolutely certain of a light show that never came so many times I've given up trying to predict it. My current approach is, if it looks like there's a 50% chance then I'm off to chase. On this morning I felt pretty confident it was going to happen so I arrived an hour early and scouted my compositions. I could feel the adrenaline racing as I watched the magenta glow build on the horizon and found some comps I was really happy with. It was special but I felt like the good stuff was on it's way. This was one of those, absolutely no question, light shows. As I stood in the stream waiting for the magic the glow on the horizon slowly disappeared. In disbelief I packed up my gear and wandered up the trail. After about 10 minutes I looked back through the forest to see the glow on the horizon back in full force!!!!! What?!?!? I sprinted back to the stream and quickly set up to capture the encore performance:-) New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/crystalclear/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/crystal-clear.jpg Crystal Clear Another capture from a fun cold ice stacking morning last winter. New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/comingtogether/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/coming-together.jpg Coming Together I dug into the archives and found this capture from about 10 years ago. It was a special morning with many captures I’ll eventually get to editing. I had the shoreline to myself until well after sunrise which is how I like it. A very bad edit of this one ended up on the cover of a National Parks calendar a few years ago. Although my first choice with the minimal free time that I have is alway to explore and paint with light it is cool to know I’ve got lots of captures waiting for me to edit and print when time permits:-) Acadia National Park, ME https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/catchingmoonlight/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/catching-moonlight.jpg Catching Moonlight New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sky-love/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/sky-love.jpg Sky Love One of those unexpected surprises. I'm glad I had my camera close by because the cool cloud only lasted a few minutes. The time it took me to switch lenses was long enough for it to transform.  Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/winter-dawn-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/winterdawn.jpg Winter Dawn II While exploring a stream close to home one early winter morning I discovered a new perspective and composition. I'll be back in the late spring when the sun rises over the small cascade. Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/snow-angel/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/snowangle-2024.jpg Snow Angel After a week in sunny warm Florida we returned to some of the coldest temperatures I've seen here in MA. I've wanted to capture an image like this in this location for a while. I knew I had to arrive about 11am to catch the sun over the island but the deep snow made the trek out to the location a bit longer than expected so I had to move quickly when I arrived. The temp was about zero with crazy wind and blowing snow. I was a bit under dressed but kept moving to stay warm. within 1/2 hour the sun had moved too far to the west and the shadow moved off to the left. It was a bonus to capture some cool clouds whipping through the sky and partially blocking the sun :-) New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/on-the-edge/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/ontheedge.jpg On the Edge I was :-) literally on the edge of this cool ice sheet. I slid my tripod out as close to the edge as possible being careful not to get to close because my body weight would surely have broken the sheet off. Fun and challenging capture! Very cold morning! New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/iceforestatdawn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/iceforestatdawn.jpg Ice Forest at Dawn In todays world of digital cameras and social media there is no shortage of great images so what keeps me inspired to create and chase light is photographing places that others don't bother to explore and finding new creative ways to paint with light. For this capture I collected an ice sheet from the edge of a stream and photographed the rising sun through it. I thought the ice crystals looked a bit like a forest...? New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/holding-the-moon/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/holdingthemoon.jpg Holding the Moon I woke on this morning knowing that full moon would be setting behind one of my favorite trees but the crazy cold temps outside made me pause for a moment. As I laid in bed and thought about how rare these opportunities are I quickly jumped out of bed and raced to my car. It was well below zero on this morning and keeping my fingers warm enough to function was challenging but well worth it!!! Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/fire-and-ice/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/fireandice.jpg Fire and Ice Another one of those captures that sat in my mind for many years. After a stretch of really cold temps followed by a warm day of heavy rain the ice that covered a stream flowing into the quabbin broke up and was washed out to the reservoir by the rising stream. I had lots of cool clear ice chunks to work with!!! :-). First I collected some ice chunks and found a few cool pieces of Ice with holes in them that I put aside for later. After stacking the chunks the biggest challenge was getting the necessary captures for a couple different focus stacks with my frozen stumps for fingers.

This is another composition that only works for a narrow window of time every year. The sun rises in this location for a couple months in mid winter. I captured this during a particularly warm spell a few winters ago. It's fun to relive my light chasing adventures again in the editing process...sometimes many years later. So many adventures... so little editing time😊 Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/summerdawn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/summer-dawn.jpg Summer Dawn Petersham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/presence-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/presence.jpg Presence I feel so fortunate to have found the gift of presence or maybe it's more accurate to say it found me. When I'm wandering or chasing light time disappears and I am completely connected and the only thing that matters is that moment. It recharges me and fills my soul. There are lots of different ways to get there and for me I've found a couple. Stacking stones brings me there too. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/autumncarpet/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/autumncarpet.jpg Autumn Carpet Sunderland, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/violetdawn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/violetdawn.jpg Violet Dawn Petersham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/themorningstar/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/themorningstar.jpg The Morning Star Venus is the brightest planet in the solar system. When venus is west of the sun, she rises before the sun in the morning and is known as the Morning Star. Venus is the planet closes to earth and is the hottest planet (860 degrees F) in the solar system, even hotter than Mercury which is closer to the sun!!! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sunriseinparadise/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/sunriseinparadise.jpg Sunrise in Paradise This is another one of those captures that lived in my mind for years. The sun rises over the top of this waterfall for a couple of months every year. Until this year the conditions (enough water flow, green foliage, clear skies and no fog in the valley have not lined up for me. I made a couple of attempts last month but fog blocked the sun. On this morning I was exhausted after a magical night of hanging with the Milky Way when I realized I had a shot at the waterfall. Sleep?? Later!!!! One more cup of coffee and off I went. I arrived just before the sun started burning through the trees!! This combination of conditions might not happen again for years!!!...then again it might happen tomorrow 😊 I love chasing light!!! Montague, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sublime/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/sublime.jpg Sublime I've had this capture in my mind for many years!!! Finally all the conditions fell into place this year to make it happen !!! Montague, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/samasana/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/samAsana.jpg samAsana This is the time of year to see the Milky Way in the eastern sky and for a couple special days each month the moon rises under it. Last month it was clear on one of those days so myself and I needed to wander!! Never alone! Thanks for the title Samantha! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/momentintime/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/momentintime.jpg Moment in Time The Milky Way has been elusive this year. It seems that clear moonless nights are hard to come by. That's what makes it so special when it does happen!! This is another capture that sat in my mind for years waiting for the right conditions. They finally came together for one special night last month. Crescent moonrise under the Milky Way. The big challenge with this capture was leaving my camera just inches from the surface of the fast moving current (my tripod was set up in the water) while I ran to my spot (I'm standing on a rock). It was a long 30 seconds of imagining my equipment not being there when I got back!!! I guess it would have been less stressful if I had someone with me :-) Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/intersection/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/intersection.jpg Intersection Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/inadream/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/inadream.jpg In a Dream Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/evolution/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/evolutiion.jpg Evolution This is a capture from a few years ago that I finally got around to editing. Yes, that is me 4x :-) It was an idea that sat in my mind for years and on this beautiful clear moonless night it came together. I swear I heard coyotes laughing at me as I ran back and forth for each capture. Wandering under the Milky Way completely connects me and I cherish every opportunity I get!! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/comeback/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/comeback.jpg Come Back After scouting for Milky Way compositions for the next cycle of moonless skies I was about to head up the trail when the eastern sky called me back. I spent the next hour standing in my favorites stream connected to my favorite spot:-) Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/awake/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/awake.jpg Awake So I was wandering in the forest near one of my favorite waterfalls and found this cave. The opening faces due east. I think I'll have some fun here! Tricky shot because of the tight fit- 10 frames stitched (14mm). Sunderland, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/parallel/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/parallel.jpg Parallel Yet another crazy cold morning but the compositions in this stream are amazing when the water level is just right. I had to go!!! I have many exciting shoots from this location that I'm looking forward to editing. When I left on this morning my pants were frozen solid from the knee down!

Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/jupiterandthemilkyway/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/jupiterandthemilkyway.jpg Jupiter and the Milky Way Another crazy cold morning but I had to go out and sit under the Milky Way. This time I made sure the tripod wouldn't freeze shut!!! I disassembled it and left it to dry overnight. When the temps are this cold (-25 degrees F with wind chill) the slightest amount of water will freeze the tripod legs up. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/filling-the-night/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/fillingthenight.jpg Filling the Night It's time to wander under the Milky Way again. This was a crazy cold morning!! Usually I can tolerate the cold but I started this morning with a frozen tripod that I tried to unfreeze by dunking it in the stream with my bare hands. Not a good Idea when the air temperature is close to 0 degrees F!!!! A friend of mine was with me and between the two of us we managed to put a functional tripod togather and get a few captures before we lost feeling in our Fingers and Toes. Thanks for hanging out Rory!! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/pool-of-light/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/pool-of-light.jpg Pool of Light This was my first sunrise at Nubble Lighthouse a few years ago and it was a special lightshow! After a little searching I found this puddle in the rocks from the heavy rains the night before. To capture the reflection of the lighthouse my camera needed to be on the ground so I couldn't use my tripod. As is usually the case, I have quite a few from this magical morning that I really like and it was difficult to choose one to post but for now this is it. I'll post more from this morning at a later date. Nubble Lighthouse, York, ME https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/tully-lake-fog/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/tully-lake-fog.jpg Tully Lake Fog I had scouted the shoreline of this beautiful lake about a week earlier and found this composition. I waited for a nice cold autumn morning when there was a chance for some surface fog on the lake to trek back to the spot. It was a bit more difficult finding the spot in the dark that morning. Royalston, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/silky/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/silky.jpg Silky As I stood there in the stream staring up at the sky I was completely convinced that it was going to be a spectacular light show at sunrise. All the pieces were falling into place. Despite my many hours of studying clouds and weather patterns nature always seems to surprise me. When I'm convinced it will not happen it explodes in glory and when I'm absolutely certain it will it fizzles to nothing. This is why I chase the light!! On this morning I got a show for about 5 minutes before the clouds swallowed up the sun and the light show. I'm glad I arrived early enough to see it. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/catching-dawn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/catchingdawn-fx2024.jpg Catching Dawn One of the most beautiful sunrises I've witnessed on the pink granite shores of Acadia National Park. Acadia National Park, ME https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/moonset/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/moonset2.jpg Moonset For a couple months a year the moon sets behind one of my favorite trees so I had to stop by and say hello. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/twilight/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/twilight.jpg Twilight One of the best purchases I have made for my photography adventures was an insulated pair of knee high waders. I'm no longer restricted by the worry of getting my feet wet when I'm searching for compositions in the freezing cold early morning temperatures. I found this particular composition a few days earlier and waited for the day when the crescent moon was hanging in the eastern sky at dawn. It was a difficult shot to set up in the dark as my camera is about 2 inches from the surface of the water. This is a focus stack of three images. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/precarious/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/precarious-w2.jpg Precarious The challenge with this composition was getting my camera and tripod close enough to the edge of this cool ice shelf without breaking it. I couldn't step on it or it would surely have collapsed. It took a bit of phot yoga and flexibility Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/venus-rising/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/venus-rising.jpg Venus Rising I spent many freezing mornings running back and forth over ice covered rocks in the dark capturing dawn at this location. This is one of the first shoots but I have so many more that I'm really excited to edit someday!!! I always felt a little uneasy leaving my camera sitting just inches over the surface of the water while I sprinted to my spot but thankfully I didn't loose any equiptment :-) Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/turn-around/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/turn-around.jpg Light in the Storm As a storm was moving out at sunset I found myself in Hadley, MA with great views of the western sky. My plan was initially to watch the sunset but as the magic light surrounded me I raced to my favorite tree and we watched the show together :-) Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/converging/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/converging.jpg Converging This is a capture from last week. I had found the composition a few days earlier and came back on this morning for a sunrise shoot. The big mistake was setting up about 45 minutes before the sun broke the horizon and standing knee deep in the stream (it was 15 degrees!!!!) waiting for the sun. I could barely move my fingers when I left and my pants were frozen blocks of ice up to my knees (which made for an interesting bike ride back up the hill that morning) :-) Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/watching-fire/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/watchingfire1.jpg Watching Fire A spectacular light show that lasted forever :-) -I was able to capture many different compositions on this special morming.

Acadia National Park, ME https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/meeting-at-dawn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/meeting-at-dawn.jpg Meeting at Dawn I had this composition in the back of my mind as I was composing another image with some stacked rocks I had spent the last hour creating when the sky lit up. I never know how long the color will last and on this particular morning it was just a few minutes. I quickly captured this image and ran back for one capture of my rock cairns before the color faded. Why "Meeting at Dawn"? Doesn't that log sort of look like some giant creature??? I thought so :-) Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/finding-balance/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/finding-balance2.jpg Finding Balance I have been stacking stones in the Quabbin for many years and this fall found a great location where, because of the recent drought, I can get down low with my camera and silhouette my creations against the eastern sky. I have quite a few different creations that I'll eventually get around to editing. This is a composite of four frames captured that morning, one for each of me, one focused on the moon and stars and one focused on the cairns. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/supermoon/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/super-moon-1.jpg Super Moon I had to go photograph this months super moon!! I arrived about one hour before the moonrise and entered my rock stacking meditation place. I didn't have time to scout the location earlier in the week to pinpoint where the moon broke the horizon so i had to use my "Photographers Ephemeris" App and a bit of guessing. I was happy to see the moon break the horizon just where I wanted it!!! Unbelievably, most of my stone stacks were there the next day when I photographed them again in a much darker sky. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/recharging/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/recharging.jpg Recharging I had a bad day and needed a recharge.

I finally made it to the location when the moon was in the right place :-) Amherst, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/hoppbrooksunrise/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/hopp-brook-sunrise2.jpg Hopp Brook Sunrise Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/blink/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/blink2.jpg Blink I spent some time fixing my stone cairns from the night before in hopes of a sunrise. It looked like it wasn't going to happen so I moved on to another location to experiment with another composition when I looked up to see a magical sky unfolding!!! I ran back to my cairns and got one capture before it quickly faded in a blink. It happened so fast!!! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/passing-through/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/passing-through-w2.jpg Passing Through As I set up my camera for a capture of the beautiful autumn colors on a forest trail in the Quabbin a warm breeze brought with it some magical fog to add to my composition. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/lithia-springs/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/touching-autumn.jpg Touching Autumn On a Family hike last weekend I convinced my daughter to run out into the scene for me.

I was surprised to find water flowing here because all the other locations I scouted were dry due to the recent drought here in MA. Royalston, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/thin-line/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/white-line-copy.jpg Thin Line This is a sunrise from a couple of years ago that just randomly came to mind so I decided to dig up the digital memory of it and do some editing. I could easily spend a few years digging through my digital memories and editing and not leave my office but that wouldn't be very fun :-) In tiny doses I can do it, but I would much rather be out there behind the camera painting with light :-) Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/tiny-me/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/tiny-me.jpg Tiny Me It's that time of year again. I like to spend late autumn/early winter scouting, wandering and searching for some good compositions. I have recently started adding the human element to some of my landscapes and I'm reminded when ever I do how small we are in this big world. A simple 30 second rock hopping sprint and look how tiny I am!!! Feeling the warmth or the early morning sun fills my soul! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/meeting-with-gator/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/meeting-with-gator-2.jpg Me and the Universe I know there are no alligators in MA but doesn't look just a little bit like a giant gator?croc? Nessy? OK, maybe just my sleep deprived imagination making monsters out of logs. It's been a while since I wandered in the night under the stars so I decided to do some exploring on Halloween night. The coyotes, loons and owls filled the night silence for me :-) -Magic!al!

I found both species that live in MA, the Chinese mantis, and the European mantis and had a couple photo sessions with them. Niether of these Praying Mantis are native to MA but were introduced many years ago to control garden pests and they seem to like it here.  Cape Cod, Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/praying-mantis-family-portrait/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/praying-mantis-family-pano-copy.jpg Praying Mantis Family Portrait- Chinese Mantis - Tenodera sinensis Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/eastern-red-spotted-newt/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/red-eft_3341-copy.jpg Eastern red-spotted newt (red eft) Notophthalmus viridescens On a damp summer morning these amazing orange amphibian can be found in abundance along forest trails near my home. I have a very clear early childhood memory of spending an afternoon in the forest searching for creatures and once finding one of these under a log. I thought it was a toy until it moved!!!! (this was before the internet,google and iPhones so getting an ID took a little while :-)) That joy that filled me then still fills me today! I feel so very lucky to know some of the amazing creatures that wander the forest with me. Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/like-a-diamond/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/likeadiamond-final.jpg "Like a Diamond" I spent quite a bit of time last winter exploring ice formations in the night on the shores of the Quabbin.

One of my favorite things to do is explore a stream, meadow or pond and find all the amazing creatures that we share this planet with. During a family exploration, while searching for frogs and crayfish in a river close to home we found this cute baby snapping turtle. Although they spend most of their time in the water late May is the time of year when you might get lucky and see an adult female out of the water laying eggs.   Chelydra serpentina https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/green-frog-3/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/greenfrog-reflection2-copy.jpg Green frog Lithobates clamitans This is an image I've had in my mind for so long :-) I finally got around to capturing it.

Lithobates pipiens https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-audax-courtship/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/Phid-audax-the-dance.jpg Phidippus audax (courtship) This is the time of year for Phidippus audax breeding. This is a species that is abundant in MA and probably the most wide spread Phid in North America. They are probably the most difficult Phid to photograph too because they never sit still!!! This guy was distracted with something and I was able to get a couple shots :-) He still never stopped for more than a second…he was dancing around like crazy. I found this pair while waiting for my car to be repaired last week. I was heading for the waiting room when I looked out the window and saw a pile of rocks on the edge of a field--Spiders!!!! Lots of P audax!!!! It almost made me forget about the repair bill :-( Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/northern-leopard-frog/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/n-leopard-hz-copy.jpg Northern Leopard Frog This is a native frog that has been on my wish list for a very long time.

Cicindela sexguttata https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/eurasian-eagle-owl/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/eurasioneagleowlportrait.jpg Eurasian Eagle Owl While down in Florida this past winter I had the opportunity to photograph three amazing owls at the Busch Wildlife Sactuary. I spent couple hours staring into the eyes of these amazing birds. Florida https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/seaglass/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/seaglass.jpg Sea Glass Every summer the Zephyr's live the simple life in a tent in Maine. One of our favorite adventures is to take a ferry to a small island off the coast and search for sea glass all day. Simplicity, presence and bliss!!!! This is a small sample of the treasures we have found. https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/autumn-love/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/autumn-love.jpg Autumn Love I spent a few days last autumn lost in the leaves in search of hearts.

This spring I finally found there overwintering hide out and found many sub-adult males and females. I held onto a few to photograph them in there adult state after their final molt. Phidippus purpuratus breeds in the spring here in MA so thankfully I didn't have to wait long for the molt. I am amazed at the variety of the females from light gray to brown/bronze to black in color. I have also learned that each individual spider has it's own personality. One like to walk on her tip toes, one like to pose for me and one likes to reach out for my lense and always looks to the left?? I'm so grateful to get to spend enough time with these amazing creatures to notice such things!!! Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-audax-bryantae-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phid-audax-subfemale-mansfield-copy.jpg Phidippus audax (sub-adult female) AKA "Goldilocks" This is a species that's very abundant here in MA and also very variable in appearance. I found many subadults both male and female last week and this little lady was the prettiest P audax female I have ever seen. I hope she keeps her color when she molts soon. She is currently being cared for by my daughter Sienna. Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-audax-4/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phid-audax-adultfemale-bryantae_6713-copy.jpg Phidippus audax (adult female) This is a bryantae female I found as a sub-adult this spring and had to hold onto until she molted to see what she looked like. The P audax are a variable species and the adult males and females can look quite different. The bryantae form is my favorite and it's always a special treat to see what comes out of that final molt. Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/philaeus-chrysops/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/Philaeus-chrysops-adultfemale-copy.jpg Philaeus chrysops (adult female) Can you say "Bad Hair Day!!!!" This species is not native to North America. https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-regius-7/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-regius.jpg Phidippus regius (adult female) I have had the opportunity to photograph many Phidippus regius and I'm always amazed at the variety and subtle color differences of the adult females. I've photographed tan, white, black, brown and orange P regius!!! Of all the Phids I would guess that this species has the most variety. Most of the time they are very charismatic too! Always a pleasure to photograph. Florida https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-pulcherrimus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phid-pulcherremus-female_6808-copy.jpg Phidippus pulcherrimus (adult female) This beautiful Phidippus is found in North Florida and is closely related to the very common Phidippus princeps found here in MA.

Like many of the Phidippus species , there are color and pattern variation in the adult form. This is a good example of why Identification is sometimes difficult. Arizona https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/naphrys-pulex-3/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/working1-4-copy.jpg Naphrys pulex (penultimate male) I was in my office getting some work done when this little guy came hopping across my desk to catch a little fly. I had fed some habronattus coecatus (sub-adults) the day before and I'm sure this was one of the escaped fruit flies. I'm waiting for the Habros to molt one more time and attempt some courtship photos smile emoticon He seemed happy to pose for a quick photoshoot before I had to get back to work. I saw him again this morning hopping around the office smile emoticon It's nice to know he's here to take care of the flies:-) Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/naphrys-pulex-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/naphrys-pulex-female_8199-copy.jpg Naphrys pulex (adult female) This is a very common jumper here in Massachusetts. I see them often on the stone walls in my yard as well as the side of my house. This was one of the first jumping spider species I ever photographed many years ago. At the time I had no idea what she was. Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-purpuratus-3/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-purpuratus-male-courtship.jpg Phidippus purpuratus courtship display I have been finding early instar Phidippus purpuratus for many years but could never seem to locate the adults until this spring. I found so many sub-adults in many different locations and finally had the opportunity to witness the courtship dance of the adult male!!!! Spectacular! Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-regius-6/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/P-regius-courtshipfx_4501-copy.jpg Phidippus regius courtship display This is a particularly small P regius- about the size of a P audax. It's challenging enough to photograph these tiny amazing spiders but to capture the courtship display takes it to another level of frustration. Anyone who has seen the display of the Phids knows they don't stay still very long. It's amazingly rewarding when it all comes together though!! Thanks Mr P regius!!! Florida https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-adumbratus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phid-adumbratus-f1-copy.jpg Phidippus adumbratus (female) I'm working on a project to photograph all the amazing Phidippus jumping spiders of North America. This is a species that is not native to the eastern part of the country but fairly common in southern Calfornia. Thanks Laura!!! for allowing me to photograph "Princess Hoppy Leaps".

Ambystoma laterale https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-mystaceus-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phid-mystaceus-female-copy.jpg Phidippus mystaceus I became obsessed with these amazing creatures years ago and this is the Phid I have to thank for it. I saw an image of this species a long ago and needed to learn more. I have since found and photographed almost all the MA native and look forward to expanding my search for the salticidae. This species is not native to MA so I put it on the someday if I'm lucky "bucket list" I still can't believe I actually had the opportunity to photograph this female and an equally impressive adult male (I'll post images of him soon) Thanks so much to Don at Phids.net!!!!

The amphibian migration began a couple of weeks ago. I have moved many spotted salamanders, spring peepers and wood frog across the road to their breeding pools already. Tonight might be another migration night. Please drive careful if your on the roads after dark. I had found Jefferson Salamander eggs in a vernal pool close to home many years ago and revisited this location every spring in hopes of actually seeing the Jefferson Salamanders migrating to the pool. This year I finally witnessed it!!! I knew they were there :-) Ambystoma jeffersonianum https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-cardinalis-3/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/p-card-male_3722-copy.jpg Phidippus cardinalis (adult male) " I'm looking for a pretty lady in a red dress...anybody seen her?" The first time I found a P cardinalis I was dancing in the forest. I know there are only a handful of people that can even remotely relate to that. I found a few locations here in MA and RI with a bunch of these spectacular jumpers. It's awesome to know they're out there and that I can visit them. This would be the time of year to find the adult female but they are difficult to locate. By mid summer the juveniles will be in abundance!! I think I'll visit them again this year.

Little did I know I was actually finding them and photographing them and I just didn't know it. While I was looking for the classic bright red jumper I didn't realize that the early instars were actually yellow and as they approached the final molt they got progressively more orange. I did find many of the yellow early instars in my first summer searching for jumpers and classified them as "unknown jumping spider, need ID". I revisited the location later in the summer and found lots of bright orange subadult P cardinalis :-). This species matures in the fall here in MA and that is when they have the signature bright red coloration. While I found bright red females as well I also found many of the female in a brown form. I'll post the females soon.Canon 6D, 580EX Flash, Handmade diffuser, SS 1/125, F13, ISO 200. Single exposure becuase he didn';t want to freeze long enough for a focus stack in this capture.

Those magenta chelicera (fangs)!!! I have had the opportunity to photograph quite a few P regius over the last few years and I'm always amazed at how different they can look. I recently posted a P regius female from South Florida and it looked so different. Thanks to Don at Phids.net for giving me a chance to photograph yet another awesome huge P regius. Don has been a huge help in my quest to photograph all the Phids and is an amazing resource for all things Phidippus.

I left my front door yesterday morning with one hour to wander and my mission was to find a Phidippus purpuratus. Unbelievably (in late February!!!) I found many!!!! I was thrilled to photograph one of our coolest local phids. Surprisingly I found a few dead adult females, a few sub-adult females and a whole bunch of very small early instars (3rd maybe). From what I've read this species breeds in the spring but I find it hard to believe that these very small early instars will be ready to breed this spring. This is one of the sub-adults that I found. I was completely surprised to see the cool rainbow chelicera (fangs) when she dropped her palps for a moment. Awesome jumper!!! Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-regius-5/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/regius-female-green.jpg Phidippus regius Here is one of the adult females I found last week down in South Florida. I have been going down there for many years and started searching for regius when I started my search for jumpers about 4 years ago. This is the first year that I found some regius in the wild!!! Amazing big spiders!! I found two females this one and one with purple chelicera (fangs) and a couple of adult males that look very different (see previous post). This species is the largest jumper on the east coast and certainly larger that any jumpers here in MA. The jumpers in the family Phidippus are the largest of all the jumpers on the planet and we have approximately 60 species in North America. Massachusetts is home to 7 species of phidippus Regal Jumper (adult female) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-regius-4/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-regius-male.jpg Phidippus regius (male) I was down in Florida last week and finally found some Phidippus regius. I was particularly excited to photograph this small male because of the blue chelicera!!! The green chelicera is much more common. I also found a couple of adult females (one with purple chelicera :-)) I'll post some images of her soon. "Regal Jumper" https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/island-shadow-night/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/island-shadow-night.jpg Island Shadow This is a capture I've had in my mind for some time now. I have had some memorable coyote encounters off on the lake behind this Island. This is two exposures manually blended. One for the stars (and the sparkles :-)) and one for the rest of the scene. Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it :-) Happy light chasing!!! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/winter-reflections/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/winter-reflections.jpg Winter Reflections This is a vernal pool I have stood knee deep in watching spotted salamanders swimming all around during the spring breeding season. This time of year the salamanders are long gone to their upland underground habitat. I'll be visiting them next spring but for now I'll enjoy the winter reflections :-) Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/moon-and-stars/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/moon-and-stars.jpg Moon and Stars I remember the feeling when I first began exploring this amazing reservoir. I felt like I discovered a treasure in my own backyard. In a time when so many landscape photographers are traveling the globe to photograph the grand and amazing landscapes of the world I find equal pleasure in really knowing the place I I call home. I don't physically travel far to photograph but my mind often leaves this planet!!! I feel truly lucky to have discovered the present moment and to be so connected to the wild places and creatures around me. Thanks for stopping by!! I appreciate it! Happy New Year!!!  This is two exposures manually blended. One for the stars and one for the rest of the scene. If your interested in exploring and photographing some of my favorite places in New England I have been teaching individual and small group full day workshops for over 20 years as well as digital image editing workshops. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sunrise-with-venus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/sunrise-with-venus.jpg Sunrise with Venus I've crossed this brook many times in route to other locations on the shoreline here at one of my favorite areas of the Quabbin Reservoir. For a few months every year I can watch the sun rises at the end of this stream. On this particular morning venus broke the horizon first so together we waited for the sun. Thanks for stopping by. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/themeeting/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/themeeting.jpg The Meeting Another composition I spotted while teaching a workshop that I revisited a few times before this capture. This particular composition is only possible when the water level here is really low. It was a cold night and yes I did run out there to be the other human in the scene. Actually, I ran through the water. There was a bird in the forest off to my right that didn't seem to like me being there and continually called at me the whole time I was there. I'm not sure what species but I'm pretty sure it wasn't an owl. This was a small jpg capture (the reason for the slight banding and noise) because I was messing around in my camera menu earlier in the day and change the setting and forgot!!!!! I didn't realize it until I got home and downloaded the files!!! I will never do that again!!! 17-40mm, iso 6400, ss 30sec, f4 (three exposures manually blended -one for me, one for me 2, and one for the moon) Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/night-watcher/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/night-watcher_4670-copy.jpg Night Watcher I know I have said this before but I have been exploring this stream for years and yet again I found a perspective I never thought to consider before. I was teaching a full-day workshop with a student and we decided to stop hear for a bit and experiment with long shutterspeeds before heading off to our sunset location and while my student was searching for compositions and setting up there tripod I turned around and spotted this composition. I took a few quick hand held shots with my wide angle lense for reference because I don't lke to get lost behind my camera during a workshop. I went back a few times the following week  at different times of day and captured a few  images that I like. This is the first to make it to processing. I knew I wanted to do a night capture here, the challenges were 1) figuring out where I was going to be standing and how to get there in 10 seconds in the dark(my intervelometer died on me last week so I had to use the cameras 10 second delay) 2) focusing in the dark, and 3) staying dry and keeping my camera dry because the cascade is just off to my right and water is continuously splashing on me and the camera.   I have always looked up at the cascade (see "The Portal") that is behind me in this capture and never considered looking south!!!   Canon 17-40mm, ISO 6400, aperature F4, shutterspeed 30 sec   Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/reflections/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/Reflections.jpg Reflections Another one of the locations we visited during my recent weekend photography workshop. This is a capture from many yeas ago that I was inspired to dig from the archives and edit. I have so many magicical memories from this location! I did revisit the spot last week for a few hours one morning and got lost in the present.  Bear's Den, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/ball-of-fire/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/ball-of-fire.jpg Ball of Fire It's time to start scouting the shoreline for new compositions. The water level is very low and there are some exciting composition potentials.  This was my first trip back to this location since early summer and things have changed quit a bit. Along with the low water the sun is now rising much farther to the south and there are lots of Rocks!! I like to have a mental picture of the landscape before I race there in the dark to capture the magic. Althoough this was a scouting mission I did get a couple of captures that were fun.  The stick in my hand was carved by a beaver and laying there on the shoreline.   Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/returning/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/returning.jpg Returning This location is where it all began for me almost 20 years ago!!! It holds a special place in my soul and it's always a pleasure to share it with my students. During my October weekend workshop we spent the evening here listening to the loons and watching the magical moonrise over a spectacular magenta sky. A thanks to all the participants in this years workshop for inspiring me and keeping my passion alive.  Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/doanes-falls-afterdark/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/doannes-falls-afterdark.jpg Doane's Falls I spent an afternoon wandering this location during my recent weekend photography workshop. As is always the case, I was inspired by my students and the variety of compositions they created. I don't like to take my camera out during the workshop because I go to another place when I'm behind the camera and I wanted to be preseent for my students. I decided to revisit the falls the follow evening and captured a couple of compositions that caught my eye. I captured this image while standing in the stream (with my chest waders) after the sun had gone down.  Royalston, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/venus-and-the-moon/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/venus-and-the-moon.jpg Venus and the Moon I'm addicted to the night!! I had to say goodbye to the MIlky Way until the spring but the moon, Venus and Jupiter kept me company on this special night. I know the moon looks more like a star in this photo but that is because even though it's just a cresent it is still so much brighter than the sky. I could have taken some darker exposures to capture detail in the moon but I would have lost the stars.   Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/eastern-painted-turtle-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/eastern-painted-turtle2.jpg Eastern Painted Turtle Quabbin Reservoir, MA Some cool facts: Most widespread native turtle in North America.

I finally decided to strap this cool peace wreath to my mountain bike and take it along for a night of exploration. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/in-search-of-stars/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/in-search-of-stars.jpg In Search of Stars Another capture from my 15 minutes visit with the Milky Way last spring. The clouds moved in fast and after about 5 exposures the stars were gone. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/midnight-moonrise/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/midnightmoonrise3.jpg Midnight Moonrise A magical night watching the beautiful orb break the horizon! quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/peaceful-night-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/peaceful-night1.jpg Peaceful Night This is an image I've been wanting to capture for sometime. I'm looking south on one of my favorite stretches of shoreline in the Quabbin Reservoir. I knew I could expect the Milky Way to be there on a clear night I just needed to figure out the time of night. This time of year 2:30am works. As seems to always be the case, I scouted this spot and comp a few days earlier and found this lone rock off the shore that I could walk to without getting that wet (when I scouted it-that is). On this particular morning there were a few  challenges. One, the water level was higher than when I had scouted it so I had to splash through the water to get to my rock. Two, the temperatures were colder than I expected so standing there soaking wet for 30 seconds with each attempt was a bit challenging. Three, the cold temps (32 dgrees) caused surface fog that rolled in off the water and covered my lens with condensation every few attempts. I'm sure there was a moose or cyote off in the woods laughing there ass off at me but It was well worth the frozen fingers and toes!!! Quabbin Reservoir, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/narrow-window/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/narrow-window2.jpg Narrow Window This was captured toward the end of the stretch of the month when the Milky Way is visible. On this morning the moon set at about 3am and the predawn light begins at about 3:30am so the window to really see the Milky Way clearly was about ½ hour. I’ve wanted to see where the Milky Way would be at this location and the sky was clear so I thought I’d check it out and scout it for later this month when I had more time to shoot. This was captured during that scout last month. I’m excited to get back to this location later this month when the MW window is longer. The water was like glass for about 15 minutes until a beaver decided to come warn me that I was too close by slapping his tail right in the foreground of my composition!!! I was able to get a few frames before the tail slapping ruined the glass reflection. This is one frame at ISO 10,000, F4, 30 second exposure. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/not-enough-jars/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/not-enough-jars.jpg Not Enough Jars A flashback to my childhood! I remember running around in meadows after dark catching these amazing insects and putting them in a jar that I then put on my nightstand and stared at in awe! Thankfully they are still here in abundance in Pelham, MA where I now live!! There are a couple of meadows near my home that light up every June and I have wanted to capture the show for years but I always missed the peak activity when I finally get around to breaking out the camera. Not this year!!! As soon as I saw the tiny greenish yellow lights I went out with my camera. I took this capture at about 1am and there were more fireflies than I have ever seen!!!! The Milky Way was a bonus. I didn't expect to see much because of light pollution. To be staring at the Milky Way rising and to be surrounded by these flashing insects was mind blowing!!! They were landing on me and my camera equipment throughout the shoot. I think they might have been attracted to my head lamp. I'm so glad I didn't wait because I've gone out a few time since this capture and only seen a fraction of the numbers I saw on this night. It must have been the peak night!!! Magic! This image consists of one exposure for 95% of the content (the sky, me and the fireflies). I took a couple additional exposures of the fireflies that I manually blended in. Each exposure is F4, 30sec @ iso 6400 w/ my 17-40mm lens. Some Firefly Facts 1. There are 2 dozen different species in Massachusetts!!! 2. Of the 24 species here in MA only 3 flash (that we know of)!! 3. Fireflies are not flies they are beetles. 4. Each fire fly species has it's own secret flashing code to communicate with members of it's species. 5. Bioluminescense is the chemical reaction that causes the flash. Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/incoming-tide/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/incoming-tide.jpg Incoming Tide I found this composition last year and was hoping to do some milky way shooting here on this particular weekend (a couple weeks ago) but the weather didn’t cooperate. The tide and surf were just what I was looking for but the sky never opened up for me. This was my first morning back at the spot to re-scouting for compositions because they were a bit foggy in my head from last year and I was pleasantly surprised with some nice light and a descent amount of water and surf. The rest of the weekend was pretty overcast so no Milky Way. Most of this is one frame. I did take a second frame for some addition wave action that I manually blended in. Ogunquit, Maine https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/due-south/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/due-south.jpg Due South It takes a while to get to this spot but it's always worth the trek!!!! This was captured in the spring when the Milky Way still hangs close to the horizon. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/hornet/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/hornet1.jpg Hornet, Vespa I'm not particularly fond of hornets. It might have something to do with the painful swelling that seems to last for a couple of weeks whenever I'm stung but still an amazingly awesome alien creature!!! Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/viceroy1/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/viceroy.jpg Viceroy, Limenitis archippus I was out early searching for the Elfin Skimmer, the smallest dragonfly in North America when I found this beautiful Viceroy. At first I thought it was a Monarch. I did find some elfin males and females too!!! I'll post those images soon. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/the-island/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/theisland.jpg The Island I spent quite a few nights watching the Milky Way rise over this island. This was one of my first attempts at placing the human element into my composition. I have many more to come from this summer!!! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/stacking-ice/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/stacking-ice.jpg Stacking Ice A quick look at the radar told me that there was a possibility of a light show. I arrived about 20 minutes before the show and stacked some ice cairns to pass the time. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/midnight-blue/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/midnight-blue1.jpg Midnight Blue One of my favorite spots to watch the waves crash on the coast of Maine. I'll be there again this weekend!!! It fills my soul!! This is two exposures -one for the sky and one for the foreground. I have been having so much fun shooting in the night and incorporation the human element in my compositions lately. I hope it's not too much :-) This series really conveys the feeling I have when I'm out there in the moment. Time stands still and I'm completely connected to this amazing planet! Biddeford, Maine https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/emerging-3/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/flemerging3.jpg Emerging III I spend a week down in sunny Florida every February with my family and make a point to watch the sunrise at this location every chance I get. This particular composition is only possible with the right surf and tide and on my recent trip those conditions came together at sunrise on the last day. It was unusually cool down there this winter (the air temp was 40 degrees on this morning!!!) and I was standing knee deep in the surf to get the comp I was after so by the end of the shoot I was bit hypothermic and couldn't even get my camera off the tripod!! I had lost a camera body here in the past so I was well aware of the random huge wave that seems to come in every few minutes and constantly scanned the distance for it and jumped back just in time on a few occasions. I got hit a couple of times but not enough the claim another camera. So much fun!!!! I love what I do! I have some other captures from this morning that I'm really excited about but I thought I would start with the first capture from that morning when it was still pretty dark. I cranked my iso way up and opened up my aperture to get a reasonable quick shutter speed in the very low light. Coral Cove, Florida https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-princeps-male/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-princeps-male.jpg Phidippus Princeps (adult male) I have found so many of this species as sub-adult males and females but this is my first adult male. It is very different in appearance from the subadult. They must not live long after breeding. This is a very common jumper in dry meadows in late summer. When I find an area with a healthy population I may find dozens in very short period of time. Erving, Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidipus-otiosus-male/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-otiosus-male.jpg Phidippus Otiosus (adult male) Wow!! What a crazy cool jumper!!! I photographed an adult female of this species about a month ago and she was also amazing beautiful!! This was another jumper on the "someday maybe in my life if I'm lucky" list. Thanks again to Don at Phids.net for providing me with the opportunity to see and photograph one of the coolest jumpers in North America. This species is not native in MA. I believe they might come as far north as NY. The Canopy Jumper https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/the-wizard/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/wizard1.jpg The Wizard Another very early morning in search of the Milky Way. This was about 3am. There will be no Milky Way shooting for a couple of weeks now that the moon will be in the sky all night. This particular spot is a bit of a mountain bike ride and trek to get to and although the forecast called for clear skies I was not happy to see this bank of clouds moving in and covering the Milky Way when I arrived. I decided to work on my composition and positioning for another night when things were clear but ended up really liking the shape and movement in the clouds with the 30 second exposure. No Milky Way but it was still a magical night. I was able to get a few frames I like before the Milky Way and all the stars were covered with a blanket of clouds. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/star-man/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/starman3.jpg Star Man Last night I decided to go watch the moonrise. I broke the horizon at about 11:00 pm. I've watched many moonrises but usually when there is still a little daylight left. This was my first time watching the orange ball creep over the horizon in darkness and it was spectacular. This was a particularly challenging shot because it was crazy windy and the waves were washing over the rocks and knocking me off into the water before my 15 second exposure was finished. It was still so much fun!!! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/peaceful-night/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/peacefulnight-2023.jpg Peaceful Night This is an image I've been wanting to capture for sometime.

Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/me-and-the-milky-way/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/meandmilkyway1.jpg Searching I had to post something on Earth Day!! I feel so extremely grateful to have found a connection to this amazing planet that fills me with joy everyday. I've been to this location many times to watch the sunrise. Little did I know there was another light show I just missed. Amazingly the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye all night long on moonless nights and slowly disappears about one hour before sunrise. I've always been there about one hour before sunrise and missed the show! Never again! This was a fun image to capture- I had to set my camera up on a delay and run out into the water in 10 seconds ( I guess I could have set it for a longer delay) to my predetermined spot and balance motionless on the rock for 30 seconds. I was able to find the right spot and get one that I liked after a few dozen attempts! The light is my mountain bike light. Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it! and Happy Earth Day! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/among-rocks/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/among-rocks.jpg Among Rocks One of my favorite stretches of shoreline in Massachusetts. Plum Island, Newburyport, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/cardinal-jumper-female/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/cardinaljumper-female1.jpg Phidippius Cardinalis I spent many hours in search of a female of this species. This particular Phidipus matures in the fall when the leaves here in New England turn shades of red. I found my first Cardinal jumper two years ago and went back to that location a few times to find a female with no luck. I'm always learning as my jumper search continues and what I learned about this species this past year is that the immature jumpers look very different  from the mature adults and that I might have actually found some cardinal jumpers in the past and just didn't know it! I found this strange bright yellow/orange jumper on Cape Cod last summer and searched online to ID it.  It was an immature cardinal jumper!!! I went back to this location a couple of times and found cardinal jumpers everywhere!!! More than I could count!!!    Adult Femle https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sitticus-fasciger/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/sitticus1.jpg Sitticus Jumper There are a couple of Sitticus jumpers in MA and they look very similar. I'm not certain which this is. Maybe Sitticus Fascigar?? They seem to like hanging out on the side of buildings. I found males and females of this species on a brick building in Amherst. MA on a sunny day. They are very small (3-4mm) full grown as compared to a big 10-12mm adult phiddipus audax. A very cute jumper that is very difficult to photograph. They never sit still for more than a couple seconds it seems so getting in close and getting the eyes in focus is very difficult and time consuming. I think I stared at this little guy for about an hour before I finally got something I was happy with. Have you ever stared into the eyes of something that small for an hour!!! It certainly didn't feel like an hour! These things are so fun to watch!!   Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-mystaceus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phid-mystaceus1.jpg Phidippus mystaceus This is one of the species on that bucket list I created. I can't believe I was able to witness such a crazy cool jumper let alone photograph it!!!! Wow! This particular male was very cooperative and curious. A please to photograph. Thanks again Don @ Phids.net!!!! If your interested in learning more about these awesome creatures and possibly raising one as a pet (really) check out Don's site phids.net. He is the master of all things phidippus!!! adult male https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-putnami/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/putnami-male1.jpg Phidippus putnami Adult Male When I first got excited about photographing these amazing creatures I created a list of the native species I would have to find and a bucket list of species I might (If I'm lucky) see and maybe have the chance to photograph someday in my life. This is one that was on my bucket list. Thanks so much Don @ Phids.net for allowing me to photograph one of the most spectacular jumpers on the planet!!! https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/dancing-with-stars/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/dancingmoon4.jpg Dancing with the Stars This was a capture I had in my mind many years ago but just never had the pieces come together until last night. I was out scouting the shoreline of the Quabbin in the middle of the night to see where the moon would break the horizon. When I was on my way back home I drove by this tree that I have photographed many times before and was pleasantly surprised to see the moon right where I wanted it and a crystal clear sky!!! Thanks for viewing! Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/through-mud/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/throughthemud7.jpg Through Mud This is one of the most memorable sunsets from this past year. I had my eye on this location for weeks waiting for one of those crazy sunsets. For a couple of months every year the sun sets at the end of these rows so I wait for a few variable to fall into place. 1) The farmer cuts the corn field, 2) some rain (this spot always seems to hold water for a few days after a heavy rain), and 3) the magic light!! I was not expecting a show on this particular evening so I was in the forest photographing one of my favorite local waterfalls under overcast skies. When I was about to wrap up I looked up to see the clouds clearing over head. This clearing was supposed to happen well after sunset but if it was happening now there was a chance for a show!!! I quickly checked the radar and sure enough it looked good. I checked my GPS- I can be in my corn field in 18 minutes. THERE'S TIME!!!!! I sprinted up the trail to my car and hit every red light on the way but arrived just as the show began. One problem- I had to cross a stream and some ankle deep mud to get to my spot!!! I din't think about it I just ran -slip sliding through the mud pulling out my tripod legs while I was running. Welcome to the show!!! It lasted a while and as the clouds cleared I was greeted by a glowing cresent moon that worked nicely in a different composition I'll post later. This is why I do what I do!!! Thanks for viewing! I really appreciate you stopping by :) Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/bearsden/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/bearsden2.jpg Bear's den I decided to dig into the film archives (Fugi Velvia 50iso) and revisit one of my favorite shoots at this beautiful waterfall where it all began for me before there was a website/500px/facebook/digital camera…. New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/marshmallows-anyone/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/mashmallows-anyone.jpg "Marshmallows Anyone" Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/liquid-ice/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/liquid-ice1.jpg Liquid Ice Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidipus-otiosis-female/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/otiosisfemale2.jpg Phidipus otiosus Thanks again to Don Cadle of Phids.net for the opportunity to photograph one of the largest and coolest phids in North America. This beautiful jumper was high on my wish list to "someday in my lifetime maybe" photograph. This species is not native to Massachusetts but can be found as far north as New York. She is from central Florida.   Canopy Jumper (Adult Female) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/canyousaypotholes/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/canyousaypothole4.jpg Canyousaypotholes Why you should never drive while sipping a hot cup of coffee!!! I was scouting this location a few days earlier for something interesting. I usually like to search for open water or interesting ice formations this time of year but everything in Massachusetts seems to be covered in snow this winter. I did notice that these potholes filled with water from the melting snow during the day (even when the temperatures were below freezing) so I checked it out around sunset one evening and was happy to see the sun setting toward the end of the road. I was too late for a picture on that evening. I figured I would need to be at my spot at about 5:15pm to catch the sun where I wanted it. One problem- I had to pick up my daughter at 5pm and persuade her to tag along again. She agreed!!!! The next obstacle was the cars!!! Did I mention that this is a dirt road? Every time I got my tripod set up and composed my image a car came bumping down the road and right through my potholes!!!!! Slashing the water out! Who wants to drive down a pothole filled muddy road anyway??? I was able to sneak one series of exposures in before the sun dropped below the horizon and my daughter came running out of the car to tell me my 10 minutes was up. This is why I usually choose to be alone and in the woods away from roads when I'm chasing light. I'll take what I can get these day though. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/time-warp/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/timewarp2.jpg Time Warp Here is another capture from a crazy light show last winter. I have a hard time settling down on one composition when things get crazy and I know hard rare these conditions are. The magic light doesn't usually last long enough for me but on this special morning it seemed to last forever and I was able to get quite a few different compositions that I like. I always try to get at least one vertical comp with a strong foreground which is sometimes challenging. Luckily I was here about an hour before sunrise and was able to wander the ice and find a few spots before the show so when the sky started to explode I new exactly where I wanted to be and could be efficient with my setups. As always- I really appreciate the views !!! Happy mud season! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/leaking-sky/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/leakingsky.jpg Leaking Sky I know, strange composition and subject. Another evening searching for something interesting to photograph. That's why I do what I do. The opportunity to be completely present and connected to the moment is priceless!! It looked like there might be some color in the sky so I took off to a spot that might have potential and spent about a half an hour wandering around in field in thigh deep snow searching for something and watching the sky. I gave up the search and plowed my way through the deep snow back to the dirt road I was parked on and spotted this puddle on the side of the road. Potential! The light was fading fast and I needed my camera to be on the ground to possibly make this puddle work. Unfortunately I never cleaned the ocean water off the damn tripod from my shoot down in Florida last week!!! I had to slam the tripod on the ground a few times to free up some adjustment and get to the ground before the light was gone. My 17-40mm is about 1 inch from the puddle in the foreground. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/bubbles-rising/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/bubbles-rising.jpg Bubbles Rising This is another capture from the same evening as "Ice Crusher" that I posted last month. It was a special sunset where the color lasted a while and the foreground possibilities where plenty. I was able the get a few compositions I liked before the "Ice Crusher", my daughter, destroyed them. The thin ice formations made for some interesting captures but they also sounded really cool when you jumped on them. At least my daughter thought so :D. Thanks for hanging out Sky!!! Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/ice-flames/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/iceflames4.jpg Ice Flames Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/ice-cobbles/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/ice-cobbles.jpg Ice Cobbles I had edited a slightly different composition of this capture yesterday and processed it with a warmer white balance. After staring at it for a while I decided that the warm feel really didn't convey the moment as I had hoped (I was freaking freezing my fingers off!!!) so i decided to reprocess this image with a cooler white balance that more accurately portrayed the moment. I had my eye on this spot for weeks waiting for something interesting to appear. On this evening I got to the location about one hour before sunset and carefully walked around on the thin ice in search of an interesting foreground (stepping through up to my knees a couple times) I settled on this collection of bubbles and waited for the light show I was sure was to happen. This band of clouds was moving quickly and by the time the sun was below the horizon the clouds were gone and the magenta/red sky I was expecting never happened. I did return to this location the following day for a very special light show and captured quite a few images (including "Ice Crusher" I recently posted). This cool collection of bubbles was no longer there just a day later. Another one of those moments in time. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/unexpected/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/unexpected.jpg Unexpected I have visited this tree before but never at sunrise. After checking out photographer's ephemeris I decided to wander into this field and scout where the sun would break the horizon and see if there were and possible compositions. The snow was deep and the temperatures were cold and with the wind chill it was really cold!!! I wasn't expecting to find much in the way of foreground potential but was pleasantly surprised by the amazing wind blown sculptures all over the surface of the snow. On a few occasions I found myself staring at the sky and walking right through some awesome foregrounds!! I decided to keep my head down and found this one and a few others before the light got to harsh and my frozen stumps for hands completely stopped functioning. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/afterdark/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/afterdark.jpg After Dark Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/firstmilkyway/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/milkyway1.jpg First Milky Way Wow! I have been admiring the Milky Way posts for some time and finally decided to get out there and give it a try. I couldn't sleep so I decided to check my night sky app to see when I might be able to see the Milky Way assuming I would have to wait a couple months. I was surprised to see that it was rising over the eastern sky just a few hours before sunrise so I had to go check it out. I stood there in awe !! What! I can't believe I have waited this long to incorporate the Milky Way into my photography. I found a new friend and will never look at cloudless mornings the same way again! I know it may seem a bit warm considering most like to process the Milky Way with a bit more blue but I feel like this more closely matches the tones I saw in the sky. Thanks for viewing. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/aloneinthecornfield/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/aloneinacornfield.jpg Alone in a Corn Field OK, I wasn't alone. There were a few cows wandering around off in the distance. Another spot I've had my eye on for a while. I liked the lines leading off into the horizon but had to wait for a special sunrise and some heavy rains for some reflection. I have been spending quite a bit of time shooting an Hadley, MA, a place I have traveled through almost every day for the last decade and never considered it. A reminder that the magic light is all around us. Thanks for viewing !!! Happy Spring Equinox!!! Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/backlittree/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/backlit-tree.jpg Back Lit Tree Continuing with the Hadley, MA theme. As seems to always be the case- I scouted this spot a few days earlier and noticed that the sun would rise somewhere near the end of the road but didn't know exactly where so I decided to check it out one morning when I didn't think the conditions would be great because it was clear skies. I was happy to find this ground fog slowly moving through the seen and kept waiting to see the sun surface, expecting it to be off to the left. I didn't notice that it had already come up until I started seeing the sun flares shooting through the tree. A pleasant surprise and a composition I will sure;y revisit when the sunrise is in that spot again. At this time of year it is rising way off to the right/south. Thanks for viewing!!! Happy Spring! Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/hidingthemilkymilkyway/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/milkyway2.jpg Hiding the Milky Way Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/visitors/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/visitors.jpg Visitors Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/lowwater/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/lowwater.jpg Low Water I can get to this location in about half an hour from my front door and I visit it often. As usual I try to wake up a few hours before sunrise and check the radar for a potential show. I've learned the hard way not to trust what is forecast the night before. The composition I had planned out about a week earlier. The reservoir unusually low and compositions that have never been in this location before appeared for about a month. As the water level rises the shoreline comps will change again. It's interesting to see so many crazy cool captures of iconic locations posted again and again here on 500px and I image many photographers all in the same spot competing for comps and position. For me this is never the case, I can count on one hand the number of times in the twenty years that I've been chasing the light that I've run into another photographer while out shooting a sunrise/sunset/night sky/waterfall/jumpingspider!!!! Sure this isn't Mono Lake or Yosemite but it's my special spot and I know it intimately and the joy it brings me is in no way inferior to what i would feel in the grand canyon. For me it's about the light and being connected to the place. I'm forever grateful that I found that connection close to home. Most of my work is captured within a mountain bike ride of my home. Thanks again for viewing! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/meandthemoon/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/meandthemoon.jpg Me and the Moon Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/carpet-of-clouds/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/carpet-of-clouds.jpg Carpet of Clouds I went out to scout some shoreline along the Quabbin a few days ago to find that it's almost completely ice covered. This southern shoreline with the deepest water usually stays free of ice through the winter and is my favorite spot this time of year. Now that we have a couple feet of snow on the ground after this latest winter storm I am guessing that it's completely gone- the open water that is. I'll be waiting for some warm temperatures and rain to make things interesting again. Happy snow day to those of you in winter storm Junos path! Thanks for viewing! I always appreciate shares, feedback and comments. Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/ice-crusher/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/ice-crusher.jpg Ice Crusher Why "Ice Crusher"? This capture is a perfect example of the photographic process for me. First, I had scouted this location many times and made mental notes of the elements and where the sunset occured on the horizon. Second, I watch how it changes with changes in the weather conditions (extreme cold, snow, rain...etc). We had an unusual day of warmer temps and rain a few days earlier followed but very cold temps so I decided to go scout the spot out for some interesting foreground possibilities in the middle of the day when the light wasn't great (my first opportunity). I liked what I saw but needed some dramatic light. The next day was cloudy but "according to the weather masters" there was to be a clearing right around sunset. I was in the area around sunset and ran down to this spot at sunset but the clouds moved out quicker than expected and never really lit up as I was hoping. A little rain snow or warm temperatures would surely change the conditions and the compositions I had scouted would be gone so I kept my eye on the weather. The following day the forecast was the same "cloudy all day with a clearing right around sunset". After dropping my twins off at gymnastics I had to convince my older daughter to tag along with me while I waited for the light. Amazingly she agreed!!!! Thanks Sky!!! We both wandered down to this shallow stream and I started woking on my compositions while she walked around crushing all the cool ice formations I was hoping to use in my forgrounds. Thankfully I got to this one before she did!!! Moments later I moved on to another spot and heard loud crushing sounds coming from behind me. I turned around to watch my duaghter stepping all over the delicate ice formations (above) I had just photographed!!! A moment in time! This composition, the combnation of light, temperature, and weather conditions will never be again but something equally special is waiting for me in the future. That is why I do what I do!!! I can't wait to see whats around the corner!  Thanks for hangin out Sky!!!   Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/cold-winter-night/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/cold-winter-night.jpg Cold Winter Night I don't usually photograph human made structures but I have had my eye on this farm house just down the road from my house for some time now. I was on my way to catch a sunrise at a different locatiion I had scouted the day before but was way ahead of schedule and decided to stop at the house for a bit. Thankfully the folks who live here like to leave these lights on through the night. It was about 4am and very cold and clear (-2 degrees F). The tree shadow on the front of the house was cast by the moon behind me. This is one 30 sec exposure at F4, iso 1600 with my Canon 5D MarkII. I took a few exposures because the chimney smoke only came out of the chimney for brief moments every 15 minutes or so. Thanks for viewing and Happy New Year!!!! Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/inviting/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/inviting.jpg Inviting A capture from the early days of 35mm slide film (Fugi velvia).

After scouting the frozen forest stream for some time I settled on this interesting ice formation at the base of one of my favorite cascade. I layed on the frozen rocks for so long that when it was time to leave because I couldn't feel my fingers anymore- my pants were stuck to the ice!!! Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/beautiful-chaos/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/beautiful-chaos.jpg Beautiful Chaos On my way to one of my favorite trees one dew filled morning I was stopped in my tracks by the endless beauty of the dew covered spiderwebs that carpeted the ground around me. I was lost in this micro world for the rest of the morning. Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/water-sculpture/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/watersculp2.jpg Water Sculpture #1 Thanks to some students in my photography workshop this year for a new creative direction! I have many more water sculptures to come! Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/deer-fly/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/deerfly.jpg Deer Fly This guy and about a hundred of his close friends chased me around a meadow one hot summer morning while I searched for jumpers!! Deer flies are flies in the genus Chrysops of the family Tabanidae that can be pests to cattle, horses, and humans. A distinguishing characteristic of a deer fly is patterned gold or green eyes. Chrysops https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/tiger-beetle-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/tiger-beetle-2.jpg Tiger Beetle Tiger beetles are a large group of beetles known for their aggressive predatory habits and running speed. Cicindelinae https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/calico-pennant/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/calico-pennant.jpg Calico Pennant One of my favorite local dragonflies!

Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/stuck-in-the-middle/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/stuck-in-the-middle.jpg Stuck in the Middle Another from this stream close to my home. I've been visiting and photographing this location for years and I'm always surprised at the variety of endless possibilities. No need to travel far!!  Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/spaceship/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/space-ship.jpg Spaceship This was a crazy lightshow from last winter that I have finally re-processed.    I arrived at the shore line and wandered around on the ice in the dark for some interesting foreground potential and settled on this rock breaking through the surface. The sky exploded and lasted long enough for me to scramble to a couple other comps that I had scouted in the dark. I had processed this image and a few others from that morning last year but was never happpy with the results. They just didn't appear as I experienced them on that crazy morning. While accurately recreating what I witnessed and captured with my camera in the field into a digital file has been an evolution for me, I feel that the pieces are finally coming together!! A reminder to me that there is always room for learning and fine tuning your craft.       Quabbin Reservoir, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/portal/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/portal3.jpg Portal I had a 30 minute escape from my office and computer today so I ran down to my spot. I was intending to shoot at a different location along this stream but when I arrived that location I couldn't find what I was looking for. Instead I wandered and found this. This is a single 30 second exposure. Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/glow-bears-den/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/glow-bears-den.jpg Glow I spent a few hours with my photography workshop participants at this location a couple of weeks ago. I always have so much fun seeing some of my favorite places through the eyes of others. They captured some really great compositions that inspired me to dig into the archives for one of my adventures at the bear's den. This is a capture from a couple of years ago. If I had about 10 years to sit in my office and edit images that wouldn't be enough ;-). When faced with the decision to edit or wander- I almost always choose to wander :-) Bear's Den, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/end-of-autumn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/end-of-auumn.jpg End of Autumn I had stacked these cairns a couple weeks earlier and on this particular morning found myself un able to sleep because the radar looked so promising. I decided to check out my cairns in the dark convinced that the sky was going to explode!!! It never did ;-( but I ejoyed the peaceful sunrise with the cairns anyway.  Quabbin Reservoir, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/into-space/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/intospace.jpg Into Space As I was running through a field to photograph a tree in the fog I got distracted by the amazing dew drops that had collected on the spiderwebs in the grass. I went to another planet for the rest of the morning ;-) The wonders of the natural world constantly remind me to slow down and be present.  Hadley, MAssachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/coming-at-you/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/coming-at-you.jpg Coming at You Another from this special place near my home. I had some fun with the fallen leaves on this glorious autumn morning. This is three -30 second exposures manually blended.   Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/liquid-dessert/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/liquid-dessert.jpg Liquid Dessert I have been to the this particular shoreline of the quabbin over a hundred times and have never seen the sand below the surface ripple like this. I was thrilled to go back and photograph again in the evening but upon arrival  discovered that it was gone!! Again, a reminder that we must always present!!! You never know what awaits around the corner in even the most familiar places.. This is why I explore and wander aimlessly.  Qabbin Reservoir, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/dancing-below/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/dancing-below.jpg Dancing Below This stream near my home is teaching me so much about the value of environmental conditions and light and how even the subtlest of changes can dramatically change a location and open up compositions that were absent previously. I revisited this location later in the day and this beautiful eddy of bubbles was gone!! As I upload this the rain has been coming down hard for hours!!!! I wonder what my stream has instore for me tomorrow :-) Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/golden-dawn/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/golden-dawn.jpg Golden Dawn An autumn morning when the fog dances on the pond at sunrise. Although Harvard Pond is beautiful any time of year, I find myself drawn to the autumn light.  Harvard Pond, Petersham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/autumn-kaleidoscope/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/autumn-kaleidoscope.jpg Autumn Kaleidoscope I have spent a few magical mornings at harvard pond this autumn. This is the time of year to witness the dance of the fog and to see the sunrise right behind my favorite island. A beaver kept me company on this color filled morning.  Harvard Pond, Petersham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/otter-gold/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/otter-gold.jpg Otter Gold Another edit from the archives. This is about 4:30 am when the sun first breaks the horizon. The golden and sometimes red light doesn't last long but the show is spectacular. I have had some very special mornings here on the coast of Maine. Many more to process but the light is calling.   Acadia National Park, Maine https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/chappy-beach-sunrise/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/chappy-beach-sunset.jpg Chappy Beach Sunset This was my first visit to Chappy Beach. I was hoping to wander the shoreline for a bit in search of compositions but was stopped by a security gaurd who informed me that the shoreline was private property!!! I contemplated finding a way to sneak around him but quickly decide that getting arrested was not an option. I can't be behind bars for sunrise tomorrow ;-) West Falmouth, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/cold-warmth/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/cold-warmth.jpg Cold Warmth I have had this Idea in my brain for many years. On this particular morning the rainfall from the night before had caused a stream to swell, breaking up the ice and washing it out to the reservoir. I spent some time walking the shoreline collecting the right ice chunks in the dark and then after creating my frozen inukshuks I waited for the light. I was a bit cold when I left that morning ;-) -the bike ride back up the hill was a bit challenging.   Quabbin Reservoir, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/white-lace/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/white-lace.jpg White Lace A waterfall I have been to many times. I'm always amazed at how water level, environmental conditions and light can present completely different captures in even the most familiar of places. Gunn Brook, Sunderland, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-purpuratus-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-purpuratus-female-2.jpg Phidippus purpuratus Wow!! This was the largest jumper I have ever found in Massachusetts. I went back to a place I had found many immature purpuratus last summer and found a couple adult females. I have yet to find an adult male of thisspecies. The search continues :-) adult female https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/timeless/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/timeless.jpg Timeless I finally got around to processing a file from the archives of a shoot I had years ago on the coast of Florida. I have many I was excited about but settled on this one for now. It's nice to revisit special moments years later and relive them in my mind.  Coral Cove State Park, Florida https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-otiosus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-otiosis-subadult.jpg Phidippus Otiosus This is a species I was hoping to photograph someday but it'snot native to Massachusetts. Thanks to Don at Phids.net I had the opportunity to photograph one of the coolest phids in North America. Thanks Don!!! This is a sub-adult. I can'twait to see what he looks like after a molt or two!!! Canopy Jumper https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/after-the-show/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/after-the-show.jpg After the Show I was fortunate to witness a spectacular light show on this beautiful morning. Unfortunately I was not expecting to be in this spot (the river I was expecting to cross to get to a location that I had scouted for compositions was raging... and uncrossable) so I found myself searching for compositions during the light show (something I prefer not to do) and as the brilliant magenta sky faded and the sun poked out for a breif moment I had finally found a comp I liked.  Quabbin Reservoir, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/point-judith-light/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/point-judith-2.jpg Point Judith Light I spent a weekend in RI at an Art Festival and had the opportunity to explore and wander the coastline. This was my first time @ Point Judith. Thankfully the ocean water was warm because after  getting slammed with a couple of wave I gave up trying to stay dry and decided to get in the water and change my perspective. Thanks for viewing :-) Narragansett, RI https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/deep-blue/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/deep-blue.jpg Deep Blue An image from our escape to Acadia last month. I had a couple of special mornings this summer. At 4am all is still and it seems me and the lobster boats have the shoreline to our selves. It always amazes me that there are not more people soaking in the morning magic?? I guess I like it that way :-) Acadia National Park, Maine https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/habronattus-coecatus-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/habronattus-coecatus-male-3.jpg Habronattus coecatus Adult Male- I was on my way to a Habronattus agilis location I had found last year and decided to jump off my mountain bike and run into this small grassy meadow just off a hotel parking lot for a quick search. I was completely amazing to find 5 males of this species!!! The fact that they were all adult males was also interesting and amazing. As far as I know this species has only been found in one other location in MA by Dick Walton. This was something high on my wish list but not something I was expecting to find in August on the Cape.   Centerville, Cape Cod, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/eastern-amberwing-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/eastern-amberwing-3.jpg Eastern Amberwing (male) A small beautiful dragonfly I spent many hours trying to photograph last summer with no luck.

Perithemis tenera https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-insignarius/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-insignarius-male-3.jpg Phidippus Insignarius (adult male) This amazing jumper is native to Massachusetts . This is a male preforming his courtship dance for an unwelcoming female that is on the leaf just below the frame. She continued to chase him off the leaf every time he started his dance. This particular courtship dance was high on my list of hopeful photographs but I had all but given up after an afternoon of unsuccessful attempts. I decided to give it one last try and was rewarded with a 10 second display before the female chased him off the leaf again. One down on the lifetime list of hopeful captures!!!! :-) Thanks Ray!!! https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/eastern-amberwing/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/eastern-amberwing.jpg Eastern Amberwing (male) A small beautiful dragonfly I spent many hours trying to photograph last summer with no luck.

Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/schoodic-rocks/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/schoodic-rocks.jpg Schoodic Rocks A clear morning in July when I seemed to have Schoodic Peninsula all to myself. It was low tide so I wandered out on the rocks in search of a composition. I turned around just in time to catch the sun breaking the horizon behind me. Acadia National Park, ME https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/gunn-brook-winter/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/gunn-brook-winter.jpg Gunn Brook Falls Winter A warm misty winter morning at Gunn Brook falls.  Sunderland, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/spring-mirror/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/spring-mirror.jpg Spring Mirror My first image captured  of this location was "Winter Gold" during an early snow fall in October a couple years ago. I revisited the pond in the fall last year for "Autumn Mirror". I was inspired to finish the seasons here. This image was captured in May during a light drizzle that pulls out the saturation in the foliage. What I didn't know about the location during my previous visits was that I had to stand in a huge patch of poison ivy to get this composition. The summer shot will be more difficult. Maybe I'll wrap myself in a plastic bag:-) Pelham, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/hentzia-mitrata-male/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/hentzia-mitrata.jpg Hentzia mitrata There are a few tiny jumpers (4mm) that I see very often but have been unable to photograph because they   never seem to sit still. For some strange reason I had individuals of three of these crazy hyper species decide to pose for me today. Thank you jumping spider gods!! This particular species has ridiculously long front legs.

I'm looking forward to checking that location for adults this spring. I was there a couple weeks ago and found my first adult male! subadult female https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidipus-audax-male/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-audax-adult-male.jpg Bold Jumper My first adult male audax! Wow, this guy did not want to sit still. I have never seen such red fangs before. I'm guessing it's because he just molted.

I have witnessed many magical sunrises but this remains burned in my memory as one of the most spectacular light shows I have ever seen. To be standing there alone in the dark to witness this unfold before me was absolutely breath taking. Thanks Quabbin! What light shows await me?  Quabbin Reservoir, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/balance-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/balance.jpg Balance I arrived a bit early for a sunrise and decided to stack some stones while I waited for the sun to burn off the fog. The feeling I get when I'm balancing stones is very similar to the feeling of stillness and presense I feel when I'm chasing the light. It recharges me. Quabbin Reservoir, New Salem, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-audax-bryantae/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-audax-bryantae.jpg Phidippus audax (Bryantae) I had heard of and seen photographs of this unique audax form but never had I seen a spider in MA. It was on my list for this years spider searching and unbelievably I found two in Amherst, MA that were not only Bryantae but different from any Bryantae photographed to date!!! This is why I'm obsessed and excited about the jumpers! The chance to find something that hasn't been discovered yet is not only possible but likely:-) The search continues. "Bold Jumper" https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-apacheanus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-apacheanus-female.jpg Phidippus apacheanus I thought maybe if I was extremely lucky I may someday have an opportunity to see and photograph this spectacular species.

They like to lay parrallel to twigs and grasses with there front limbs outstretched. I found this one on the coast of MA. They were very abundant in the few locations that I found them.

All the jumping spiders I've photographed to date have been native to Massachusetts. This species is not found here but thanks to a friend of mine I have had the opportunity to photograph three adult females and an adult male of this amazing species. This male regius looks similar to the adult male Bold Jumpers I find in MA. Also, if your interested in photographing and raising jumpers -in particular Phidippus species of Florida please check out my friends website www.phids.net. Don is by far the most knowledgable person I know on the subject of phidippus jumping spiders and raising and caring for them as pets. He sells a variety of species native to Florida including phidippus regius (some of the coolest jumpers on the planet!) "Regal Jumper" https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/painted-winter/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/painted-winter.jpg Painted Winter I was returning from avisit to my favorite tree in Hadley, MA and I decided to drive by this tree stand in Amherst I had scouted last winter. This was just after a heavy snow fall the night before. Amherst, Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/katydid/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/katydid.jpg Katydid While jumping spiders are my main area of focus when out on the search in the spring and summer I can't pass up some of the other interesting alien creatures that call MA home. Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/habronattus-calcaratus-maddisoni/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/habronattus-calcaratus-maddisoni-male.jpg Habronattus calcaratus maddisoni Almost all the native habronattus males have this red scaling on there face as subadults. This was a special find I was not expecting. When I found the spider I thought it was another habronattus viridipes male (the most common it seems in my area) but when I got my camera on him I was thrilled to see that it was a new species for me! (subadult-male) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/nubble-lighthouse-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/leave-light-on.jpg Leave the Light On This was my first visit to nubble light and I got lucky with a very special sunrise. I struggled to find some good comps in the dark and found this pool on the rocks that I really liked. I had to lay on my belly with my camera just off the ground to get the reflection of the light house in the pool. Nubble Light, York, Maine https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-audax-3/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-audax-stpatrick.jpg Phidippus audax Massachusetts- Spring was taking it's time getting here and I was itching to get started on my project of photographing all the native jumpers of MA so I was searching in an area I had found Phidippus audax last spring and found this beautiful subadult female overwintering in a pile of asphalt that was heading for a dumpster. The Bold Jumpers are spring breeders so after one more molt (probably in May) she will be ready to find a mate. I find it interesting that all local Phidippus jumpers don't mature in the spring. Phidippus clarus matures in the summer and cardinalis matures in the fall. "Bold Jumper" (subadult) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-whitmani-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-whitmani-subadult-male-2.jpg Phidippus Whitmani Massachusetts (Subadult-male) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/habronattus-viridipes-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/hab-virid-sub-6.jpg Habronattus-viridipes A few of the habronattus males in the area have this red scaling on the face as subadults. This particular species looses it completely as an adult male. I was fortunate to witness a couple adult males preforming there courtship dance last spring and can't wait to see if I can find some this year. (subadult male) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/habronattus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/habronattus-unknown-7.jpg Habronattus I think I found males and females of this habronattus species but I can't quite figure out what it is yet. I'm hoping to revisit the location this spring and find some adults. That might help with the ID. (unidentified species) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/platycryptus-undatus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/platycryptus-undatus.jpg Platycryptus undatus One of the coolest jumpers in the state! This jumper likes to be vertical and I find them on trees, telephone poles and the south side of houses. This (adult male) was one high on my wish list when I first discovered the jumpers. I found this guy hanging out at the night light of a condo we were staying at on the cape last summer. It turns out there were many of them all over the building. "Familiar Jumper"(adult male) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/habronattus-agilis/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/habronattus-agail-male.jpg Habronattus agilis I found this subadult male on cape cod last August.

At the time I was unaware how hard it is to find this species. The live on the forest floor in the leaf litter. Thankfully the habit around my house must be what they like because I was returning from an unsuccessful spider search earlier in the day and when I pulled into my driveway I found this subadult male on a trash container at the end of the driveway!!! Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/phidippus-regius-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/phidippus-regius-purple-3.jpg Phidippus regius One of the largest jumping spiders in North America, Phiddipus regius.

"Regal Jumper" https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/naphrys-pulex/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/naphrynx-pulex-2.jpg Naphrys pulex I had just spent about an hour in 90+ degree heat searching for jumpers with no luck. I did find many deer flies or should I say they found me. As I reached for my car door handle to escape the deerflies I saw this beauty hopping around on the side of my car. When I entered the car there was another one on my dashboard. What are the odds? I think they know I want to photograph them:)) male https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/habronattus-coecatus/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/hab-coecatus-male-3.jpg Habronattus coecatus This was one I was hoping to find in the fall. The subadult males have this amazing red face in the fall. This is the oe local habronattus that keeps his red markings as an adult. I am hoping to find one this coming spring. I had traveled to the eastern part of the state in search of this species with no luck. Unbelievabley I found this one close to home! (subadult male) https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/carpet-of-light/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/sunset-hadley.jpg Carpet of Light I noticed this tree years ago but have never seen a sunrise here. I woke up about one hour before dawn and checked the radar- clears skies and temp-zero. I figured it would be a good morning to see where the sun breaks the horizon this time of year. I arrived at the location at dawn and waited in the field for about a forty-five minutes for the sun to break. This capture was just as the sun came above the treeline. I wanted to continue shooting but my numb fingers would not cooperate. I couldn't even take the camera off the tripod with my stumps so I ran back to my car and thawed out on the way home.  Hadley, MA https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sitticus-floricola-palustris/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/ipswich-2.jpg Sitticus floricola palustris I went to the coast of MA in search of Habronattus borealis and unexpectedly found a couple males and females of this species. See "Mama Bear". I did find males and females of Habronattus borealis but they must have just finished their morning coffee because they were to spastic to photograph. Maybe next year:) (Male) Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/catch-a-wave-blue/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/catch-a-wave-spider-blue.jpg Catchin a Wave An immature phidippus jumping spider I photographed this past summer. He was in a curled brown leaf. I thought it looked like he was on a wave so I changed the color of the leaf in editing. I like the original but I thought it would be fun to see what it looked like with an aqua leaf. What do you think dude? The original with the brown leaf is also in the jumping spider gallery. Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/layers-amethyst-brook/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/layers-amethyst-brook.jpg Layers of Blue Cold temps without snow equals very interesting ice formations. I love to follow streams during these types of conditions and see what amazing shapes water takes as it slowly changes from a liquid to a solid. This was a very clear cold morning and the sun is just rising behind me and lighting up the forest in the background. The rest of the scene is in shadow which causes the blue cast from the blue sky above me.   Amethyst Brook, Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/pastel-connectiut/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/pastel-connecticut.jpg Pastel Connecticut I captured this image in July off the bridge from Amherst to Northampton, MA after a crazy thunderstorm had just past. These clouds were being lit up by the setting sun behind me. The almost full moon was just out of the frame above the clouds. I couldn't get it into this composition. Some of the coolest clouds I've seen. Connecticut River, Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/sitticus-floricola-palustris-2/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/mamma-bear.jpg Sitticus floricola palustris I found this beautiful gravid female last spring in Ipswich, MA along with a couple males of the same species.   (female) Massachusetts https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/photo/habronattus-decorus-male-purple/ https://www.patrickzephyrphoto.com/images/xl/habronattus-decorus-male-purple.jpg Habronattus decorus A really cool find last summer.

These guys are fast and very difficult to photograph. They seem to like to be vertical like the Familiar Jumpers (Platycryptus undatus). I found this adult male (I think?) on the side of my house along with an adult female. The reason fior the name dimorphic is because the males have two very different adult forms. One looks like this and the other is black with cool hair tufts. I haven't seen the other form yet.

This is not a leaf. It's a print left in the ice on the surface of a pond. I was walking along the edge of the pond and found an area with many such leaf prints. I settled on this one to photograph as the late evening light hit the surface. This is a composite of two images. the first with a motion blur caused by zooming out with my camera lens during the long exposure. The second image was captured without the zoom effect.

It was crazy cold and I slipped all over the ice and almost fell into the water while trying to get to this spot for this composition. There was a think sheet of slippery ice covering the snow that had piled up on the shoreline of the Quabbin Reservoir. Two feet of snow the following morning made sure I didn't have another crack at this composition again.

She called me over to look at what she thought was a ladybug. I had one brief photo-shoot with him and then let him go in the yard. I have seen a sub-adult male in the yard since but never a female or another adult male. It's nice to know they're here even if I don't see them. This is a very difficult species to find in the wild because they spend a good deal of time in the leaf litter of the forest floor.

The first jumper I ever photographed was a female of this species that my daughter Sky found on a telephone pole. I searched for many hours with no luck finding a male. I finally found one while on vacation on Cape cod. It was on the ceiling of my mother in-laws bedroom!!! It turns out they are very common at that location and I see many there every summer.

It's not visible in the photo but the males of this species have a brilliant red abdomen. The colors of the mature males of this species are very unique among habronattus in MA.

I did eventually figure out what she was- a very common jumper. I often have this species in my car. There seems to be one that lives in the dashboard.
