Cotton Clouds

We took a hike every day this week, and for the most part it was beautiful. One this particular day, the blue sky was spotted with cotton like clouds. It was a great day for a nice, long hike.

Try to stay cool .. the tempeatures and humidity put the heat index super high, making this dangerous for many. Be safe!

Row Faster ..

You can’t see it in this photo, but this is what I saw when I zoomed (I mean really zoomed in .. they were way out there. I also took the second shot from a different angle):

I really do not know the full story, but allow me to speculate: It appears the person in the kayak is towing the individual in the boat. If you zoom in, it is clear that the lady in the second boat is on her mobile phone. Perhaps she is his trainer and he is listening to her commands as she calls out, “Stroke, Stroke.” What do you think?

Reflections

Lakes and rivers are among my favorite photographs. I love to stand on the shore and gaze at the glass-like canvas created by the surface of still water. The reflection of the horizon and the trees is just so amazing.

Today is a day of reflection. It’s Father’s Day and I have been thinking about my father. I will keep this short and just say how much I appreciate him and his life. I will always miss him. I had a great childhood and great parents. Many do not have that experience. Call me lucky, privileged or just blessed .. I call me thankful.

Enjoy your day and if you are able to, give your father a hug.

Moonset

The weather has been beautiful and we have been able to take photo hikes almost daily. Some days we do not see any wildlife. Then you have days like this one last week where we saw several beautiful birds, turtles and other cool creatures.

This day was extra cool because as we approached this fishing pond, we saw this amazing moonset. It was a beautiful sight. If you know me well, you know that after birds and landscapes, taking photos of the moon is one of my favorite photographs. Well, this photo is a combination of the two. The moon was in this exact position, but to get the size, I did some photo-magic. Enjoy.
