Sunrise on Mesquite Flats sand dunes in Death Valley National Park, USA. Each night the winds through this area attempt to erase the footprints from the previous day's trespassers on the dunes. Much like twisting the Etch-O-Sketch dial to begin anew.
I'm in airplane mode
I don't need no drama
Everybody know I ain't 'bout that drama
Oh yeah, oh look at what I started
Imma tell you right now
I plan on chillin' so hard right now
Ain't takin' no calls right now
I'm kickin' back and I'm lightin' up
Doin' what the fuck I want
Just rolled a wood, I'm feelin' good
Just me, myself and this blunt
Everything I do is way up man
If anybody good I swear it's us man
I'm vibin', I'm chillin', I'm good
A photo taken by chance while walking with the dog. It was only when I looked closely that I noticed the little bee on one of the small buds.
... the beginning of December, the beginning of winter, the beginning of the freeze up.... Smoke Lake, Algonquin Park
The beginning of a segment of the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. Aptly named, this part of the trail could also be called MC Escher's Staircase, as it feels like you climb up 10 stairs, come down 12, back up 8, down 9, and don't really change elevation, even though you do. It is a short, but rugged hike. Watch your step, watch out for poison ivy, and enjoy the beautiful views from the bluffs along the Rock River.

New Beginnings: My First Self-portrait and First Post on Flickr.
Recently, I was mourning over the death of a close friend. I was still haunted by this fragility and constant uncertainty that lingers in our lives. Time promises that you may never view the same instance twice. Photography is still relatively a new experience for me but I felt compelled to create - create and express my feelings that would be difficult to put into words. The beauty of photography is the ability to capture the fleeting moment in the spontaneous instance when the past is almost gone, and the future is just starting to appear.
I’ve have been always impressed by how much an individual’s photography improves during the course of a 365 or 52 day challenge. I wanted to challenge myself. it’s not going to be easy, but it doesn’t mean that it isn’t worth trying. It’s also time for me to say goodbye to this mourning child, at least for now.

My first landscape photography of the year had to be something special. I chose my favourite location to begin with. And the weather conditions were great for photography: cloudy and windy. I hope you like it!
Remember this? I had to find a picture in the archives and ran across this. I think I bought two or three of these frosted lamp shades as the first idea for things to float on the lake. They were on sale for about 50 cents a piece or something. I used to just push them out there with a long pole. This was a lot of experimentation ago. From December 23, 2012.

Beginnings
The Photo Journey challenge kicks off on January 1st with the theme Beginnings. This year, I’ve volunteered to oversee the biweekly challenges, starting with this fitting theme to mark the start of 2025. It’s not just the beginning of a new year but also the start of my journey in curating themes—this one and the 25 that will follow throughout the year.
As I brainstormed my own submission for Beginnings, my eyes fell on the blank sheet in front of me. It held the first theme, Beginnings, at the top, with 25 empty spaces waiting to be filled. It struck me how perfectly this sheet symbolized the theme. And so, I decided to photograph it as my own submission, capturing the essence of fresh starts and limitless possibilities.

My friend Pook provides three things every single day that she's thankful for. Of course, though, she's an overachiever! So I'm shooting for one each Sunday.
Today is an easy one: I'm thankful that Hadley has just become a grandfather. His first granddaughter was born last night: Welcome to the world: Hadley Paige!

Wow. 2011.
Really? Already!?
**I don't know where this road goes, but I paid the toll, and I'm taking it to the end. **
I am excited for 2011. My expectations are high.
This is Chews Landing Rd in Winslow, NJ.
It's one of my favourite roads back home. It is yard-stick straight, and leaves the large towns in a hurry- like a backroad highway to nowhere. This is my go-to route to get some alone time or on clear nights- go see the stars.
*laughing* I was a bit nervous taking this shot. I saw the car coming from far down the road, but had to wait for it to get closer to get the light burst that I hoped I would get. But then, I had to time it so I would get the full 25 second exposure, but also not get run over.
At night, in the dark, standing in a two lane road, in the middle of nowhere- it's intimidating playing chicken with an oncoming car!
Tomorrow Valorie and I head back to Portland.

Beginning of a new day captured from an early morning flight to the east coast last week. Hoping the beginning of the new year brings peace, love and happiness. Happy New Year!
End of one decade and beginning of another .... 7th decade!
Friends and family were keen to remind me of this a couple of weeks ago
1. Removes a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

Maybe this is where a canyon begins or maybe it is the end of a canyon? Most likely, this narrow canyon is still growing at a geologically slow rate.
A Norfolk Southern freight rolls into the late October sun at Wallkill, New York on the fabled Southern Tier line. There would not be very many NS trains to follow this one. Following the Conrail breakup, NS found very little use of the eastern end of the old Erie and eventually gave this portion to the control of Metro North and the portion between Port Jervis and Binghamton to the Central New York Railway, aka, New York, Susquehanna & Western by a long term lease.
