Project 365
Tuesday • April 27, 2010
The sky looked promising this morning so after I dropped the old man off at the train station (now you know why I am always up so early); I looked for a likely spot to catch the sunrise. I headed over to a bike bridge that overlooks Fermi Lab. It wasn't as spectacular as I thought it would be but there was some nice color in the sky. Most of the sun was obscured by clouds so I got just a glimpse looking through this flowering bush.
It was extremely cold this morning; about 30°! I thought we were done with cold weather! But the 70s are on their way this week!
Happy Tuesday Everyone!
My goal in life is to be one of those people who are just light. You see them and you suddenly feel so warm inside and all you want to do is hug them. And they look at you and smile with the warmest light in their eyes…. and you love them.
Maybe not in a romantic way but you just want to be close to them and you hope some of their light transfers onto you. 🌿
Lower Antelope, Navajo Nation near Page Arizona
Access to this canyon is a small opening from the top, then a narrow steel ladder criss crossing as you decend, you needs a little bit of physical flexibility and guts. (esp if you're carrying a camera, tripod and back pack)
Once below, you will be spellbound by the wonderful colors and abstract formations.. 2 hours is not enough to explore Lower Antelope canyon.

Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.
There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.
'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.
Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

This photo was not taken by me! This is a photo of Jackie, taken by her dad, on their 3-day trip to Yosemite last August. Jackie used this photo as inspiration for the Yearbook Cover Design Contest at her school. Another Yosemite photo of the same sunset I posted earlier in my Photostream was the color inspiration. The book is in the final design stages (we just got done looking at it online) and she is so excited. Below are her words describing her artwork (taken from her deviantArt post). The winning artwork is in the comments.
"This is my design for the yearbook this year! Don't know if I'll win, but I do quite enjoy this piece. It means a lot to me, since this is kind of like what I saw during my last few days in California this summer, when I was in Yosemite. It was the most gorgeous sunset I've ever seen, and I'll never forget it. It was truly 'wonderful' in the true meaning of the word." (Wonderful is the theme for the Yearbook).
*She did win the contest!
*Quote from Bill Keane and used by Master Oogway (the wise tortoise), in Kung Fu Panda
The quote will be used in the yearbook. Such wonderful words of wisdom!
Sorry for the Photo of the Day interruption. So tired of flowers (already); and needed to mix it up! I now return you to the regularly scheduled program (probably more flowers)! :D
Wake up early. Drink coffee. Work hard. Be ambitious. Keep your priorities straight, your mind right and your head up. Do well, live well and dress really well. Do what you love, love what you do. ❤️
Good Morning Tuesday
💝
The light this morning felt like a whisper from nature — soft, golden, and quietly powerful. It's one of those days when the sky opens just wide enough to show you that hope is always above the horizon. The kind of moment where your soul feels washed clean and your mind realigns.
There’s magic in stillness. In standing still long enough to hear the wind’s breath, the rustle of trees, and your own heartbeat.
This morning, I didn’t chase the perfect shot — I waited for it. And somehow, nature always delivers better than I imagined.
Every sunrise teaches me patience. Every shift in light reminds me that nothing stays the same — and that’s not a bad thing.
Captured in a quiet moment with full gratitude.

When I look at this image, I think of my sister Christine. She was only 38 when she was taken from us. Her story is a sad one. She was a very troubled young woman and didn't cope well with life's issues. She was reported missing in September of 2003 and found in April of 2004. The crime was never solved and never will be. Cases like hers fall through the cracks.
Sometimes I see Christine in my daughter Rachel. A certain smile, a tilt of the head. The recent portrait I posted of Rachel is one such moment. Sometimes, I have called Rachel by my sister's name.
Today (January 4th), Christine would be 46. She is my little sister and I miss her very much. ♥

Thanks so very much to everyone for your wonderful comments. This image means a lot to me. I hope everyone sees inspiration in this image ... like I do!
“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn.
Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

As I was getting ready for work this morning I looked out and saw the most outrageously orange sky. As you can see from the photo, it had a wispy painterly look. Then I forgot about it until this evening. As I drove home, a storm was rolling in with high winds and wicked lightening. I remembered this image from this morning and thought of that quote. I much prefer the second half of that quote: "Red sky at night, sailor's delight" But of course I'm nowhere near the sea, or a lake for that matter.
This really isn't the best photo but it is the one I got and I'm going with it!

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams
