Seasons Collide

Backyard Creek

I guess not every morning can have a beautiful sunrise. I was hoping though… I settled for playing in the creek after grocery shopping. You can never take the kid out of the creek, or is it the creek out of the kid, or am I suppose to grow up? I forget what it is suppose to be. I just have fun exploring that creek behind the house. 😉

Three Peaks

Monochrome Winter

It has been far too long since I last ventured out with the camera. Even my planned project to get me back in the grooved failed and I only have myself to blame. Recently I found it far to easy to succumb to the weak excuses I contrived in my head to not stop the car or just stay inside.

I miss it. Whenever I am out with the camera I truly enjoy it. While I was putting the galleries together for my new website I realized how much more I captured when I knew less than I do now that I know more (or at least I think I know more). So this morning as I was shoveling the driveway I knew I would be back outside as the sun came closer to the horizon. I eased back into it with a walk around the house and neighborhood. I’m planning on going up the Delta Lake after dinner today (not only for pictures but to walk off the food I plan to eat…). No more excuses!

So I bring you this winter’s first Monochrome Winter image. Long time followers will not be surprised it also includes barbed wire. I still am fascinated by it… lol!
