Colors of Change: Capitol in Color

A great place to view vibrant fall colors is the Nebraska State Capitol.

Along the south side of the building, Autumn Purple ash trees frame the Capitol when viewed from Goodhue Boulevard. Over a couple of weeks, their leaves transition through shades of yellow, orange, and purple.

This photograph was recently selected for a new installation at Cedarhurst Senior Living in Lincoln, where it is displayed alongside other local images. I’m excited to share more about that project in the near future.

Fall is my favorite season. I love watching familiar landscapes transform as the leaves change and new colors appear.

September’s theme is Colors of Change, highlighting the beauty of fall across a variety of landscapes and environments.

Small Wonders - Snail’s Pace

A land snail makes its way along a walking trail at Indian Cave State Park in Nebraska.

Land snails help break down fallen leaves and other plant material, returning nutrients to the soil. They may move at a snail’s pace, but their role in keeping the forest floor healthy is bigger than it seems.

Small Wonders - Pollen Express

Caught in midair at Sunken Gardens in Lincoln, Nebraska, a honeybee carries a bundle of pollen on its back leg.

By spreading pollen as they travel from flower to flower, honeybees have an impact on the ecosystem is much larger than their tiny size.

Small Wonders - Prairie Picnic

A prairie dog pauses for a quick bite while keeping an eye on its surroundings. These social animals spend much of the day eating grasses and other plants. Their underground burrows also provide shelter for many other prairie animals, making this little diner an important part of the grassland ecosystem.

This month is all about nature’s underdogs. The creatures that require a closer look and often go unnoticed. But when we take the time to see them, their unique features and details can be fascinating.

First up is Chameleon Lookout.

A Mediterranean chameleon keeps watch from a perch in Kusadasi, Turkey. Each eye can move independently, allowing it to scan in two directions at once. When something catches its attention, both eyes focus on the same spot for a closer look.

Towering Trees — Canopy Road

The story of this photo is as much below the ground as it is above. Towering trees depend on extensive root systems for stability and support.

At Indian Cave State Park in southeastern Nebraska, this sunken road reveals portions of those root systems, creating a unique natural corridor beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods.

The hills of southeastern Nebraska are covered in loess, a fine, wind-deposited soil left behind during the last Ice Age. While highly fertile, loess is also easily eroded, contributing to the region's distinctive ravines, steep hillsides, and sunken roads. (Source: America’s State Parks)

Towering Trees — Island Canopy

Along the coast, palm trees create a canopy of their own. Their skinny trunks and sweeping fronds are shaped by years of wind and salt air. This image was captured on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Unlike most trees, palms don't produce annual growth rings or true wood. Their trunks are made of tightly packed vascular fibers, allowing them to bend and withstand strong coastal winds.

Towering Trees — Forest Veil

Morning fog drifted through the evergreens in Mount Rainier National Park, softening the landscape and revealing the forest one layer at a time.

Mount Rainier's forests are dominated by Douglas-fir, western hemlock, Pacific silver fir, and mountain hemlock. In the park's cool, wet climate, many of these trees can live for hundreds of years, creating one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic landscapes.

July 2026 – Towering Trees

This month celebrates the trees that shape the landscapes around them.

Each image captures the character, scale, and presence of these living landmarks.

Photo taken at Redwoods National Park in California.
