Sunrise over a lake. I enjoy the fresh air and a view of a sunrise. Nature even provided some extra cast for the new day. And so it begins .. again. It does seem like the geese are following me around.

There are days when I get lost in photographs from a time past. I know this was taken just a few weeks ago, but I can mentally go there and get lost in those moments. This photo takes me back to Yosemite and a walk we took there.
Our family just expereinced a different type of moment as my son and his wife gave birth to their second child. We think of all of our daughter-in-laws as our daughters, and I am aware that she did all the work. We were all absorbed in the moment on Monday, as we awaited his safe arrival. This is our seventh grandchild, and the first grandson. The moment of his arrival, like each of the other six, has been special moments in our life. Teresa and I are so excited, as we always are. We have another one due to arrive later this year. That will be number eight. We love every one of them. They bring smiles, tears, happiness, and joy.
Moments in time, both places and events, are a big part of the human experience. We long for those moments that endure in our memories. Capturing those moments in video or photos enhances the moment, and brings our memories to life. Maybe that is what attracts me to photography, even more than the vivid colors, shapes and geometry.
Enjoy every moment ... life is too short to miss one.

This silhouette is of a cardinal. The original photo was not great, mostly because of the position of the sun relative to the cardinal, and where I was standing. I just went with what I was given. Much like life, sometimes you are not given ideal situations for that perfect photo.
So, when life gives you what looks like a dud, take the shot anyway .. fix it in post:).

Perhaps they didn’t see me, or maybe they could not hear my footsteps. Then again, maybe I’m just that quite:). I took a lot of photos, and they contineud to ignored me. I guess I like it that way, but I was surprised.

My favorite time of day is the morning, shortly after sunrise. It is the best time to take a walk with nature, and a camera.
I was visiting family in Troy, awaiting the birth of our 7th grandchild. I took at walk in the John A Wannemacher Nature Reserve and just as I took off, I heard this cardinal singing. The coolest part: about 5 feet away, there was a Blue Jay. It was beautiful.
The lighting was not perfect for this photo, but I was able to do some post edits which improved on the outcome. He is so majestic and beautiful.
