Virgin River Gorge

Some people may look at this photo and see rocks and mountains. I look at this view and see grandure and beauty. Teresa and I drove through the Virgin River Gorge yesterday. Every time I take in this drive, I am overwhelmed by the the size and magnitude of it all. It’s majestic.

Paradise or Grand Cayman ...

 

I took this photo while Teresa and I were having Dinner, on a beach, while at the Grand Cayman. I think this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Seven Mile Beach is just amazing, as is the rest of the Island. We even went to Hell and back:).

A sunrise surprise

This sunrise photo is one of my favorites. It was early on a fall morning and I had decided to try to capture a few photos of the sunrise. As I was driving on a narrow country road, I had already taken several beautiful photos, and was about to head home. At that instance, I saw this view out the corner of my eye. I hit the breaks, backed up a few feet, and this is what I saw.   

When you photograph a wedding or take portraits, you need to spend a great deal of time planning. Lighting, posing .. it’s more like conducting an orchestra.

I love the moment when a shot ‘happens’ and the outcomes is a surprise. You see the image with your eyes, then through the camera ... at some point, you feel the shot. The results are not always what you expect. When you are dealing with nature and landscapes, you can’t plan every detail.

That is what excites me about the next few days ... photos to follow soon!

Just a harmless snake

I have heard them called garter snakes, garden snakes, gardener snakes, and recently ribbon snakes. Harmless, but can surprise the unexpecting. I took this photo years ago on a walk through Garbry Big Woods.

Dreaming of a warm place

Winter is in full swing, with temperatures below 0 fahrenheit this morning. Time to transport to a boat, perhaps somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Anyplace warm! No, that dude in the foreground is not walking on water.  

Stay warn and be safe today.
