I always love finding unexpected scenes when I go out on a photography adventure. More often than not the unexpected scenes end up being my favorite photos. My wife and I spotted this on our way to a waterfall and had to pull over and do some exploring. This is definitely a place I will be returning to for fall colors.

This view is just a few meters downstream from Takakkaw falls. The stream has just a short run to the Yoho River, and strangely, it has no name. I would call it Takakkaw Creek, but no one would listen to me!
This colorful mountain stream was seen in western North Carolina near the town of Andrews. See this, and more, on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.
These two photos I took while on my lunch break at a campground where I was clearing the leaves away for the campers this season. The rocks in this creek were all soft, round and blue. Beautiful place. Great smoky mountain national park, NC, USA

I finished this top right before the quilt guild meeting, and ran outside to take a picture during sunset, so it's not the greatest picture.
I'll probably write a blog post when this is totally done explaining the process (which involved drafting and printing a very large paper-pieced pattern and a whole heck of a lot of cursing).
The idea behind it was based on the Madrona Road fabric line being about telling a story. When we tell stories, the listeners picture things in their heads based on the words, and I wanted to capture that in a quilt. The idea is that the words from the background are describing and bringing the other prints into being.
After I took this photo but before I developed it and saw the results I had a dream that the room around me transformed into an open pasture with green grass, clouds hovering around my feet, and a stream much like this one flowing from far beyond where I could see. My Mom-mom Lucy, who passed a few years ago, visited me in that dream.
Dreams are just one form that the bridge that connects us to the invisible world takes. I encourage you to understand your spirit as well as your body.
Wild colours , cascading away
Twirling , swirling on the waves they play
Racing fast, floating slow
Swimming the stream, as they flow
Between the shores, where they shine
In natures cup, a beautiful wine
That eyes watch as they play
On the waves cascading away
In Glacier National Park, in Montana there are a lot of amazing places. This was a smaller waterfall on the Trail of Cedars. I had seen many images of this fall and many looked the same because there was only one place to see the fall, from a boardwalk bridge that crosses this stream on a trail. Hard to shoot with a tripod because the bridge shakes all the time. If you can get 30 seconds without a flood of people coming by it would be ok.
So that's the image and the location. But its the people I wanted to tell you about because I am not sure I can ever look at this image without thinking about the unique interaction I had in this location. I happened to be wearing a Star Wars shirt this day. No biggie. But it was enough for me to apparently snare the attenuation of a unique dude. I am standing there shooting and I approached by a dude. Not odd, I thought he was going to talk about photography, but no. It was my shirt that provided the fodder for the discussion that ensued. He asked if I liked Star Wars. Sure, I am American. It was then that I looked up and saw this fella. He was wearing a long sleeved, thick wool button shirt that looked like a jet black Sergent Pepper kind of shirt. His shorts were black, with fringes, yeah, that's the only way I can describe it, fringes. His hair looked like a young Weird Al fro. And then, the most important part, he had what appeared to be a lightsaber hanging form his belt. So he must be a kid, right. No, he was about 29. It got stranger. He asked if I studied the ways of the force. Uhhhh. How does one respond to something like that. I said, I study the ways of the Canon, gesturing to my camera. His face was ashen. You could tell he was not kidding. He then looked up to the trees and said "I am a Jedi. I like to come here because I can feel the force flowing in the trees here." "Oh yeah?" I said. Then he could apprently feel my longing to be like him, he looked into my eyes and said "I can give you some good hyperlinks to places on the web that can help you understand the ways of the force." You could REALLY tell he was very serious. He then looked at my kids and said, "ah, the padawans." Ok, I did not want Sergent Pepper-Jedi-Weird-Al anywhere near my kids. My son spotted the lightsaber. Oh crap, here we go. "Is that real?" asked my 9 year old. "Ok, we have to get going now, it was nice meeting a Jedi, but we have to run." How could I possibly end this interaction any other way, even at the risk of offending his religion, I had to say "May the Force be with you." You would think I just gave him a present. He lit up and beamed back, "and to you."
It talked all kinds I guess. In hind sight I should have chatted more with him.
Captured at the Hraunfossar "lava falls". Hundreds of small waterfalls seem to come out of the nowhere and pour into the river Hvítá.

Thanks to Cayenne Camille for making the dress from scratch!
I absolutely love working with models that work hard to achieve the vision that you have in mind. Not a lot of models are willing to try something new and crazy but Joan was all for it and trusted me with it! This is different from my usual on location shots, I have worked in a studio before but this is probably the first time I played with studio lights as the main light on the subject so it was a very nice experience.
For the mood of the photo I wanted it to have like an underwater feel to it and at the same time achieve the surrealism of the scene.

Bubbles, bubbles, they do stream
Tiny bubbles, filled with dreams
Flowing fast, flowing slow
Past the trees, watch them go
Under skies stretching high
Bubbles leap, bubbles fly
Filled with hopes, wild dreams
Into the future the bubble streams
Devil's Fork Loop Trail, Fort Blackmore, Virginia.
"The Devil's Fork Loop Trail provides an impressively beautiful route through an old-growth hemlock and rhododendron forest. Amazing rock formations, waterfalls, swimming holes and mountain views give you plenty to see and do, but keep one eye on the trail, as the going can be rough. Although the trail follows yellow blazes for its entire 7 miles, poor maintenance means it is often difficult to find the blazes and the path, which, in several places, scrambles over large rocks or up very steep cliff faces."
