They open to and fro creating mirror images without a mirror. Arcs draw my eye - rectangles intersect - it just fascinates in a way that demands capture. Bold lines anchor all over and provide paths to investigate everything that is included in the frame. It lives in harmony.

The light changed every second, yet each frame captured a new kind of beauty. A fleeting moment, frozen in time, where motion and magic meet. ✨️
Chasing the fleeting sunlight in the enchanted forest in winter, Francis King Regional Park, Vancouver Island, BC.
Rough seas and high waves give this gull an opportunity to cruise. Action, frozen in time gives my eye time to linger on details that usually rush by. Intricate shapes and patterns emerge. The energy of the subject is complimented by the high contrast and dynamic lines.

A sunrise that reminded me why it’s always worth going out, even when the forecast says otherwise 🌅
I almost stayed home this morning. The weather didn’t look promising and the light felt like a gamble. But Llyn Padarn had other plans. Soft mist drifting over the water, perfect reflections, and a calm that wrapped around everything as the sky slowly came to life.
Standing here in the stillness, I felt a deep sense of peace and clarity. Moments like this can’t be predicted. They’re earned by showing up. Being out, waiting, trusting the process will always beat staying home wondering what if.
Sometimes the most perfect conditions are the ones you never expect.

I am so enamored with the warm color palette seen along the Artist Palette drive in Death Valley. Everywhere I turned, the setting sun was painting a new canvas.
A painterly sky - a piece of nature - joins a city scultpture - a piece of human. The contrast between defines shapes and textures and a bit of depth. Abstract, just for the fun of it.

Stunning light stopped me in my tracks and fixated me. An ordinary scene made extraordinary by the brilliance of the sun. Painted shadows play with abandon. Building facade is revealed in stark detail. Lacy patterns of tree branches adorn. Removal of color also removes distraction. B&W lets me see the elements in all their glory.

A stunning, backlit ocean displays a rich canvas full of detail revealed by a dazzling sun dance in the western sky. Soft colors add serene energy. The human figure, walking the edge of our continent, is put in perspective. Nice shapes, defined by texture permeate the frame. Treasure in the city.

A walk in the woods...A safe place to escape the insanity. Francis King Regional Park, Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC.
Rain-soaked from relentless Atlantic waves, I aimed my lens down the iconic seawall to catch a tourist celebrating the surge’s triumphant crash. Under Havana’s twilight, the Malecon becomes a stage where human exuberance meets raw ocean force, each droplet glinting like suspended jewels. In capturing this split-second interplay, I learned that art sometimes demands we step into the splash zone—shirt drenched and shutter humming.
Here on the shore, we suffer for our art, discovering that the best moments are worth every salty drop.

When I yearn for the sun and the sand, I head to the archives ... especially in December. This was taken at sunrise on Lake Michigan. The October sun was magnificent that day!!
I saw the potential for an epic sunrise yesterday morning as I looked out my back window ... I had only 40 minutes (before taking Jack to the train station) so I was racing around my area trying to find a good vantage point. The outlet mall was a depressing place to watch it rise. *heavy sigh*
So frustrating ... to envision how breathtaking it would have been if only ... I had been anywhere else but here ... in Aurora!! So I will content myself this morning with memories of sunrises past!
Happy Fence Friday!

My favorite woods never disappoint. Though at first, the thick fog did not hold promise for sunbeams. I stuck around and I'm glad I did! Hope everyone is ready for Halloween!
LOFOTEN FEBRUARY 2018
Another one of these days on our Lofoten Masterclass Workshop...the right time for this light, after 10 minutes it was gone.
Have a nice weekend!

While searching my archives today I came across this long exposure. I remember this evening very well.
I take so many photos, and so many of them are overlooked, lost & forgotten. I need to stop taking photos!
Silly me. That's not ever going to happen!
Happy Monday!
I scouted this location on December 19th, 2020, and returned the next afternoon with both film and digital cameras. I was given an early Christmas present with the fantastic scene that unfolded around me. Many different bird species use this area as a stopover going south for the winter. I have not received my film rolls back from developing. I find it hard to believe that any of those images will surpass this particular digital shot: especially considering the demanding dynamic range and color of this sunset scene. We shall see in the next few weeks when the film scans arrive.
I have to warn everyone, I am in a beach mood this week!! The best place in the world to be, is right here on a beach, digging toes in the sand and watching the sunrise. That there was a fence off to the side was an amazing coincidence!! And a heart carved on the fence post? Serendipity!!
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone's wonderful comments and dedication posts for my 50th birthday yesterday. The slide into my next decade wasn't as traumatic as I thought it would be!!
Happy "Sunrise" Fence Friday!!
