Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC)
SS 1/60, f 4.0, ISO 1250
Same image with a texture layer added.
It is Spring, so life has been so very busy. Lacrosse and various activities with the kids take over my time and as a result I have very little time to focus on my blog or visit other blogs. Please excuse my absence and know I’ll be back in the swing of things in a couple of months. In the meantime, I would love to hear from you as to which image, of the two above, you prefer?
If you are like me, you are tiring of all of the winter images of snow, ice, and cold drab days…despite those feelings, however, I still love the beauty of snow. I love the fact that when it snows the winter world seems brighter and full of hope. Sunlight is a necessity of happiness to many and the snow helps brighten our world when the days seem long and dark.
We had a little over 13 inches of snow yesterday! My children were out all day and of course had the times of their lives. Snow aids to winter creativity. The opportunities in snow are endless and if there is something to do in snow, kids will find it and enjoy it. My boys spent most of the day with friends but my daughter had fun with my husband and I here at home. Here are just a few images of our time outside.

Nature’s Secret
The Golden Spiral
Giving Birth to Imagination
The Golden Spiral is a fabulous compositional rule. The fern is just one example of the Golden Spiral found in nature. Sea shells are another. Flowers yet another. The Golden Spiral is one component of the Golden Ratio of composition. The Golden Spiral is a powerful compositional tool, not easy to master, but fun to practice and observe. Did you know that iPhones, credit cards, and Kit-Kats are all designed using the Golden Ratio?

May the Irish hills caress you.May her lakes and rivers bless you.May the luck of the Irish enfold you.May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you. – Irish Blessing

Burning Bush in Fall
A splash here,
A dash there,
Colors everywhere.
Bright and bold,
Brilliant if the truth be told.
Near and far,
Some Muted,
Some faded,
Some fallen to the ground,
Colors abound,
All around.
