    A Cold, Frosty and Foggy Morning

    A Cold, Frosty, and Foggy Morning

    “For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.  For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.”  ~Edwin Way Teale

    Most photographers think of the Fall season as an opportunity for capturing the changing colors of the trees or watching leaves as they flutter to the ground. It is also the season for harvesting and preparing for the coming of winter as well as a time when our mornings turn colder, frost turns the landscape a pale shade of white and fog delays the warming rays of the sun. To me that’s a good time to be out with a camera in hand.

    Cold October Morning

    October 10, 2012
    Frost

    It was a cold morning, 33 degrees with the humidity at 89% and clear skies. Perfect time to head out east for Autumn images. Five miles out and I can see the fog shrouded around the trees. My mind is racing to come up with a location to setup and shoot. I turned south on County Road 13 heading for a cattail pond. But, as I get there the fog looks more appealing so I move on farther. It was a good decision. Nature was showing off giving me glimpses of the ghostly trees, frost on the fences and the sun intermittently peaking through the fog. Another good morning to be out.

    A Foggy Morning

    October 8, 2012
    Foggy Morning Across the Pond

    Woke up the other morning to foggy conditions which we don’t have very often. So, went out and wandered through it. It’s one of those events in nature that must be experienced and not just observed through a window. Invigorating. Serene. Eerie. Magical. It was a good way to start the day.

    Two Trees Revisited

    November 20, 2011
    The Two Trees at Sunrise

    These are the two trees I’ve happily photographed this past sumer. The crops surrounding them have been harvested. The leaves have begun to drop exposing bare branches. The Rocky Mountains are hidden in the background by the morning fog. What a glorious morning it was. I’m grateful for this morning experience and look forward to many more.

    And the Fog Rolled In

    August 15, 2011

    “A planet this gorgeous is required for the emotional, aesthetic, and intellectual development of the human. Without such magnificence we would not be able to bring forth any sublime expression of what it is to be alive or to experience fully the delight in the life that is presently available to us.”

    Thomas Berry

    And beautiful it is! Happy Monday!

    Spring Snow

    April 20, 2011

    Last Thursday morning we received about an inch of snowfall, one of those wet Spring snows that soaks the ground. I arose early in anticipation of the snowfall and headed for Lake Loveland. I parked on the west side of the lake and shot towards the east looking out across an unseen horizon. I was not pleased with the white balance, nor could I find what I liked, so I processed it in black and white. Worked for me. The second image is straight from the camera.
