Fog in and out


This morning's fog lasted a great while, I think it was after 8:00 before the sun managed to break through the low clouds. It took about 30 minutes for my camera to adjust to the humidity from the air conditioning but I wasn't in a hurry this morning. I stood literally watching the air, or at least the moisture in the air pass by. 

foggy morning

I was pretty disappointed with the amount of processing I had to do on this one. For some reason my camera exposure settings change out of nowhere. This morning the exposure was up to +5 which made for a lot of post compensation. Every time it happens I think I should be checking before I shoot, just to be sure. It's very random.  Maybe I can try again tomorrow morning, still very humid out.

Stand Alone

The falls here were enormous scattering mist hundreds feet high, but what caught my eye was this stand alone tree on top of this gorgeous cliff. This is an old favorite I just happened upon today since I haven't been out to take photos I thought I'd include it here.

day tripping~ street corner in CU

I found myself on this corner surprised to see large sunflowers growing tall by the side of the city street. Many beautiful bright yellow sunflowers rose up calling for my attention but there were a few flowers whose beauty, perhaps less subtle now, still captured my eye.

Beauty Outstide the Door




Opening Your Eyes Opens Your World

After spending some time reading about how we can learn to see what is right in front of us,  I came home to find the most beautiful sky and all I had to do was look down.

Morning Meditations

The spring of 2014 I began doing my morning meditations in the hot tub. I can listen to the geese falling over head, the many bird songs, buzz from the locusts and occasional owl calls as well as the breeze through the trees. Sitting quietly concentrating on nature's sounds makes this one of the best meditation spots I've tried. I often get caught up by the light, shadows and reflections so I decided to bring the camera to try to capture the feeling. I like the contrast of warm and cool colors in this shot creating the soul image sitting there with me.
