Did someone say “Clouds?” I love clouds with their amazing creative shapes and their colors but the best part is capturing the clouds playing on the landscape.
I strive to capture images that tell their story in the image. Seeing a picture that is part of the story…and the story is in the middle of the picture is incredible.
I love writing, writing, writing…words, words, words to paper…and camera to the eye, click, click, click. I am addicted and can not seem to get enough…I am always scanning my surroundings…outside or inside looking for a creative image to shoot pictures of…thinking the whole time of words to write with it
I love capturing that shot that draws you into the shot…such as this group of beautiful clouds that hang and build as I take shot after shot of their incredible majestic beauty.
Horses are another one of my favorite subjects as they are so spiritual…so intuitive to your thoughts and your spirit….horses are God’s gift to us or maybe we are God’s gift to our horses. In this shot Melody was waiting for her breakfast, standing in a headwind with full expectations of her food and knowing that first she would get loved on as we greeted each other…she is so incredibly perceptive…and has such a huge heart of love for me…I am truly blessed by her each time I see her and spend time with her:)
And you know how much I love Minnie Mouse…she also is one of my favorites to take pictures of…she is very photogenic and lots of fun…she will fetch her bouncy ball toy and pack it back and forth to me as she wants me to throw it again…loves her red colored mouse and also her squeak brown mouse that actually looks like one…and she loves to throw her toys up in the air to catch them and then she will roll all over with them…Minnie is an amazing part of our lives…she has our hearts…and she thinks I am weird with my camera taking pictures of her but she lets me and just loves me back…my blessing kitty girl:)
I was experimenting with my camera when I noticed the clouds and sky were doing incredible things but the sun was right in my face…after debating I thought well ok lets just go with it and shoot anyway:)
Clouds, light and colors…stir my creative juices into a frenzy and my writers brain kicks into overdrive with ideas.
Ethereal images speak deep to my heart as the soft light of eternity falls from above.
Magical moments softly shinning…
And then because it is now spring in Juniper…the wind picks up blowing the dark clouds up and away…replacing them with beautiful colors and golden light.
My ethereal clouds are almost gone but the sky is clearing and the clouds are changing to new views of…
Magical incredible clouds that are artistically wispy and perfect for a shot.
I love spring weather and clouds…you never know from minute to minute what to expect!
And I never get tired of our views, our crazy weather and incredible clouds…the landscape and our life here in Juniper Canyon!

Thank you much….I was worried about shooting into the sun but thought ok lets give it a try anyway…I think it is fun to try new things with my camera hoping they come out ok. Yesterday was a wild weather day and yes it seemed to happen quickly. I keep my camera handy for that very reason:)
