Contrast

I have been in a "break the rules" mood in photography lately and I will continue the trend with this blog. Instead of a theme or common thread, I will continue to break the rules of good blog entry design by throwing out three different pictures from different seasons and locations.

This is a shot up Spring Hollow two weeks ago.This is along the beach in La Jolla California from earlier this month. I tried to capture a little of the action as waves lapped the beach. Click for higher resolution view.

I took this in late summer with my son at Oxbow Bend. The sun was just coming over my shoulder and lit up the flowers for some foreground interest.

Fall and Clouds

This is the first picture I took the year I started photography (2006) that I really liked. The quality is poor looking back now, but it was a beautiful scene to behold!As you know I really like clouds. Especially the Mammatus ones. This is a shot from this summer that I caught just as the sun was setting just to the left of the Wellsvilles shown here.

Enjoying Nature

I really enjoyed watching a group of monks see the hot springs in Yellowstone for the first time. This is on the north end of the park and is fascinating to see how much it changes every time we visit.

Crazy


My Friend Mark Kidman took me to the Utah State Championship Motocross race Saturday. I threw this together quick and will take some more time later to get a decent blog entry up. Boy are those guys crazy. Man do I miss jumping motorbikes on the farm!

Ducks and the plains

I like baby ducks for some reason. These fellas had the neatest little water droplets on them that I just had to share. Do I really sound like a girl?

After my sister's weeding in Canada I ran my parents down to the Great Falls Airport. We were in a bit of a hurry to assure no surprises at the border caused a missed plane, so I wasn't able to stop as desired. These are a couple I took out the car window. There is quite a few windmills along that drive which made for some interesting subjects.

Benson Marina with Mendon Guild

I set up a photo shoot for the Mendon Photo Guild at my favorite Pelican watching spot. We had a great turnout and I hope they enjoyed it...
