Shinning Through #3

I played with the sun a little on this morning; playing hide and seek throughout the macro view of the camera lens. This is a whole series dedicated to seeing differently. It felt like a great extension of my current desire to take a look closer at stuff. The bright morning sun gave a little … Continue reading Shinning Through #3

Pre-Spring Colours – A Delicious Palet of Subtle Hues

There are so many reasons I love Spring and they all have to do with the surprises that pop out after the snow melts. I get excited and impatient to see it all! I've almost always focused on the small wildflowers hiding under all this dead stuff, but this time I looked closely at the … Continue reading Pre-Spring Colours – A Delicious Palet of Subtle Hues

On The Edge Between Winter & Spring

In a nearby field, there are these relatively nondescript boulders; cracked and crumbling. From afar they look nothing special. Get up close and see something completely different. The boulder is made up of millions of smaller quartz crystals. It's what I imagine the underskin of a geode might look like. I wonder if the inside … Continue reading On The Edge Between Winter & Spring

Mostly, it's 'thank you's for the sunshine, amazing coloured skies, or the peace of windblown trees. On this morning the sun was especially amazing. It cast … Continue reading Morning Shadows

Whatever its origins, I wouldn't have noticed it unless … Continue reading Left Hanging

On my first walk following the isolation edits, I wandered with my daughter, contemplating what all this would come to. The world seemed scarier, emptier, lonelier. Everywhere I looked I saw signs of death. Oddly, it was a very sunny Spring day and the weather was beautiful. My mood was influencing my vision. A small … Continue reading Leaf
