Three feet of snow may be typical in some places. In Virginia, however, three inches of snow is sometimes cause for concern. So, when a massive February winter storm dumped approximately 30 inches of snow in my backyard, I pulled on my cross-country skis, grabbed my camera and headed out into the storm.
Here are a few of my favorite moments from Snowmageddon 2010:
From backyards to wilderness areas, I write about how, why and where modern life interacts with the natural world. My assignments span a variety of issues, subjects and places: clouded leopard conservation in Thailand, climate change in American forests and mushroom foraging in the Blue Ridge Mountains. My work appears in magazines, websites and museum exhibits.
Magnificent photos!
