Dead River Sunrise

Sunrise on the Dead River

As 2017 ends, the news is filled with reflections on events of the tumultuous year gone by. As a break from that, I'd like to meditate on the calm and peace in the reflections of nature. Whenever the chaos, tragedy, or drama of the world starts to weigh too heavily, I find a good dose of nature provides a welcome antidote, or at least some balance and perspective. So I've selected a few favorites from my archives to share, hoping to give you a respite, and inspiration for a deep breath.

Watching calm waters for abstract compositions is a sub-conscious habit for me. The soft blurs or wave-squiggled lines offer painterly interpretation of our so-called fixed terrestrial world.

As each day begins, whether we are out there or not, nature offers a wondrous show in its awakening.

One day on the Chipola River... The surreal mirrored images from roots and leaves and carved limerock captivated my eye. Rotating them 90 degrees ... whoa!.

I sometimes envy the creatures, flora too, whose lives are so in tune with the rhythms of night and day, birth and death.

Often it's the edges in reflection -- whether marsh, river or lake -- where the composition happens or not.

my days and nights of 2018 have melted together with our beloved Kodiak, he so loved so the shore along the water, running like the wind, up and down the dunes- your photographic journey has brought many wonder filled memories of him when bob and i would take him to the beach at sunrise and sunset. Thank you for sharing these captured moments of our natural world, sometimes we forget to stop and see beyond what is right in front of us. I will visit this journey often.
