Finally, finally, I caught up on the backlog of images I had not processed over the past year. I have no backlog now. Hopefully, I will keep it that way.
With that said, here are a few paths I have taken over the past year.
Month: June 2017
From Ocean of Water to Ocean of Clouds
A week ago I went to Olympic National Park for what seems like hundreds or thousands time. And still love it. Even more and more. It is like meeting a good old friend.
This time I realized that with variety of scenes and eco systems the best description of it is that it starts with the ocean of water and spans to the ocean of clouds.
Facing the Sun, Facing the Wind
(Continueing from my previous post.)
On the way back from Columbia Gorge I stopped along the road at Toppenish National Wildlife Refuge. Something caught my eye as I was passing by. Ponds of still water reflecting clouds. I stopped by and decided to stay there till sunset.
I was standing at the edge of a pond waiting for the sunset. My camera was on a tripod next to me waiting for the sunset. Wind was blowing in my face as I looked at the sun approaching the horizon. It was as simple of an experience as possible. And it was beautifully satisfying.
I standed there for an hour, just being there, experiencing it with every sense of my body, recording it in my memory in all its rich beauty. Because that’s what my life is all about.
