Bones sinking like stones
All that we fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for

As I viewed my images from the incredible weekend that I had, this particular image really stood out for me. It was the last image I took, before leaving the Alvord Desert in Oregon. We had only gotten about 3 hrs of sleep, but it was so worth getting up for. As I looked at the image, the clouds looked like a Phoenix rising up from the dry desert earth. The "Phoenix" is a symbol of a renewal or rebirth. It is a reminder to me, that no matter how far we fall, or how bad things get.... We all have the strength to rise again, and come out even stronger than we were!!

This was taken at Sparks Lake, Oregon. It was the most beautiful night I had seen in a while. There was not a cloud in the sky, and there seemed to be a million stars out. As we stood on the rocks, we noticed a campfire across the way. I thought to myself, what a beautiful night to be camping beneath the stars. Their fire seemed to make the trees glow with a brilliant orange. What an incredible night this turned out to be. We were even blessed to see the longest shooting start we had ever seeen. It was the perfect evening!!

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

This rose's outer petals are really showing its age. The middle is still just as beautiful though. For me, this really supports the view that 'beauty comes from within'. :)

Scratch another 1 off my list. Was driving looking for something to shoot. Saw something on a fence post ahead, thought it was just a small hawk. Surprise, Surprise... Short-eared Owl. In the snow, no less.

Nikon d750...and no wine.

The movement, tracking a beautiful ghost of a girl.


I was concerned that while I loved this image it was hard to understand, then my almost two year old climbed up in my lap and said her name.

My beautiful best friend and her sweet baby girl.

What a sweet boy he is,
melting and remolding my heart
creating a love so vast
I can't even understand

Dramatic sky on the road home.

It's all about the timing.

Family outing on a learning adventure with our daughter and nephews. And No I still can not put the camera down. She had just arose from a nap and was hiding away from plain view. Gotta love my 300mm and even at f5.6 love the bokeh even with the blur from the fence I was shooting through.

I'm very drawn to this type of photo. I like to look for bare trees
in a forest of green and capture the image. I like to desaturated and use an HDR filter in post processing. I'm very pleased with the end result.
