We were under cover to watch and hear the Sand Hill Cranes as they came in droves for the night at Cosumnes Reserve. You can see a layer of them in the middle are in the distance. We were lucky to have a full moon. The bird in the water is a Black Necked Stilt.

Background - we were shooting on the trails at the park when this lovely young lady and her horse come down the trail. She stopped to chat, let one of the models on her horse, I snapped a few photos and out of the blue asked for her contact info - given that I'm extremely shy and innocent this was very unusual for me.
I contacted Sarah for a separate shoot and she brought Buttercup with her. We then had an excellent shoot and Heather had a chance to ride Buttercup. This was such a fun shoot. Toward the end we went close to the river to get some water shots. Sarah took Buttercup into the river and started playing around. Next thing we knew, Sarah fell in the river. It was freezing but after she lost all feeling she said it wasn't bad, so we had our first water shoot of the season. Not a bad adventure at all!
I'm trying new editing techniques so there is a variety of looks in the photos. It's still a learning process.
I took these photos at the end of April 2020.
Out of chaos there emerged emotional coherence; the power of her turbulent desire was transformed into a passion to care; a commitment to truth became a driving force; beneath her intellectual and emotional vitality she found an undercurrent of wisdom; and in the secrecy of an untidy bathroom her heart’s deepest longing was met in the practice of adoration.

I was passing a playground that Rumblemumbles showed me some years ago, because of its novelty items.
Unfortunately the only thing left was the wavey mirror under the tree.
I had a good look for the original shot taken with RM but can't find it, reinforcing the importance of tagging photos, which I was a bit lax at in the beginning.
I bet you can't find the photographer in this shot.
By the ways :- - - I don't think I am in the shot and, this is SOOC except for a slight increase in brightness.
This is another image from my outing at Edgelaw Reservoir, where a day of textures and patterns were in abundance. This scene completely stopped me in my tracks, bubbles forming on the surface, floating for quite some time before popping.
I watched as the most wonderful reflected colours danced and interacted with these patterns in the water. I was in awe of what nature produced here, a fleeting moment of beauty that felt almost magical.
One of my first digital beach scenes after years of using film, I just now have processed it correctly
Time for a portrait. I like the mood and the reflective look of the model in this shot.
