I realized last year that I have to do something to jump start my creativity. I rarely picked up my camera since Greg died a year ago. But photography has always been one of my great pleasures and I want it back. So I am going to try to do another 52 week project. I found two prompts on line and I am going to combine them for this project. My first entry represents "Beginnings" and this photo is of another project I'm taking on this year. I am going to make a temperature scarf. I will crochet a row every day representing the high temperature of the day and these are the colors I chose to use going from cold to hot.
This was taken on 11/20/2017 at Potter Marsh, AK. This was the beginning of a pretty impressive northern lights storm.

Happy first day of 2015 my friends,
may your New Year be bright and inspired!

"In the Beginning" both in the biblical and literal sense... This old church is the only thing left of a town that once was... I can't find any history on the church as to when it was built.
The image was shot right after I arrived at 7pm on Monday night. Winds were already picking up. I kept looking at my weather apps to see which direction the storm was going (trying to stay safe) and the app was telling me something completely different than what was actually happening. Eventually, this storm turned into a tornado about where the lightning is in this image (I'll post that image later) My plan here was to photograph this old church with the milky way behind it from the other side. That did not happen. I soon realized that if I did not get out of there I was gonna end up like one of the cows in the movie Twister. It's hard to describe properly but as I was trying to escape the wrath of this storm I soon realized I was surrounded with no where to go. Being out on the plains with no shelter I was pretty scared...I was in my car but that wont really protect you from a tornado. Just south of this church sit two old silos and I thought about getting in them but I would have had to leave my car and run about 100 yards with quarter sized hail coming down at incredible speeds... I weighed my options quickly and ended up finding a tree to park under to lessen the damage to the car from the hail. I sat there for about 30 min, called my wife to let her know where I was and what was happening in case I didn't make it. Finally the hail turned to rain, I waited a little longer for the storm to move further away and then I got out of there... it was one of the top 5 scariest times of my life...I felt helpless because mother nature doesn't care who you are and I really didn't have a good solid way of protecting myself when push came to shove...
This image was shot 2 hours before the storm fully developed, this was the fun part of the night that soon turned into a real life horror story. In another image you will see the storm headed right for the church and I am really wondering if it's still standing... If it is, I will be very amazed... So the next morning I visited another old church that is falling apart and while the structure is good the sides are gone and you can see right through it. I decided then that I was going to start taking images of myself standing next to these places because it seems like they are falling down faster and faster....

The beginning of a new day and the holiday weekend. I'm glad I got out early as I was treated to a nice sunrise over the lake.
We've been having some fantastic conditions for our Canyon Colors Workshop! One of the highlights was catching an early season snowfall at Bryce Canyon. The entire sky was filled with clouds except for one little gap on the horizon. The light was mesmerizing as it illuminated the snow and hoodoos with a deep red color. We were all on cloud nine after witnessing such an incredible scene!
A new concrete foundation and base for something. Found beside the railway line beside the Wayville Showgrounds near Leader Street.
CEFX 1004 and 1012 lead a cut of loaded Tilden pellets through Eagle Mills Junction just as the fall colors were starting to pop. Just a couple miles down the road they were at almost full peak.
I bought an amaryllis bulb in early December and I was hoping she would be flowering by Christmas but sadly, it was not to be. Fingers crossed though that she will be revealing her beauty in time for the new year
These clump of green trees is the new beginning of a forest trying to regenerate itself. That windswept look to them tells a story of struggling to survive the elements. Enjoy a Tree- mendous Tuesday.

Time to move on. This was actually taken at the end of August when the skies were just amazing. We've been seeing fabulous sunsets since Ike too. Looks like Fall is beginning to take a foothold and tomorrow is actually the first day of Fall.
This is probably going to be my last chance to comment to any extent since we don't have the interent available yet. I'll sneak a peak at work and you'll see an occasional photo and comment. Have a great week - and hopefully I'll be joining you this week on flickr again.
Life moves forward.
The old leaves wither,
die and fall away, and
the new growth extends
forward into the light.

The koru is a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new unfurling silver fern frond. It is an integral symbol in Māori art, carving and tattooing, where it symbolises new life, growth, strength and peace.
The new leaves of the Ponga Fern Tree unfolding.
The Maori term for this unfolding spiral shape is Koru.
These are an irresistible cliche in this part of the world.
Call it cheesy - I don't care!!! ;-)

A little work with levels.
Dawn points, and another day
Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles and slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning.
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
A new beginning requires a need to burn the past
And how we burn the past can be different for every person
Most often you must deal with it in some way
There are no quick fixes
You need to make plans
You need to go through with them
Sometimes you need to change the plans
They didn't work
Perhaps you must take ten steps back and evaluate
Start all over again with new plans
Are there feelings involved
Yes of course
There are always feelings involved
That's why we often don't want to go through with the changes in life, because we know we will hurt others and we will be hurt ourselves
If you feel deep inside that this change is something you must do, then it's your intuition that talks to you - and you are actually listening
Hurray
Keep up the good work
Follow your path
Burn down the past
Do it properly
But in a good way
With your well thought words, I know you have them
Use them
Remember we have a responsibility for our own life
And so do they
Taking responsibility for others must always be done with caution
They have a growth too you know, and you might slow them down if you take too much responsibility
Be Safe
Love you
Always
