“In the harbor of the creative mind lies a universe where perspective is limited only by the winds of imagination, and where the sun never sets on the kingdom of possibility.” Anne Scottlin

Standing in the Presence
Late afternoon sunset on County Road 17 in Larimer County “All that we can do with any spiritual discipline is produce within ourselves something of the silence, the humility, the detachment, the purity of heart and the indifference which are required if the inner self is to make some shy, unpredictable manifestation of his presence.”

Fall Colors in Poudre Canyon
Aspens and blue skies near Chambers Lake in the Poudre Canyon Well, I believe Tom and Kathy are on their way to Wyoming continuing their adventure in visiting all 50 states. Yesterday we drove up the Poudre Canyon almost to Cameron Pass in search for aspens and the fall colors.We had a beautiful day. We were not disappointed. And, I did my best to be a bad influence and talked them into eating blueberry pie and ice cream at the Glen Echo Resort in Rustic. Enjoyed the visit and hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Drive safely!

Something from the Past
This is another HDR image from a trip back in 2003 to the Great Smoky Mountains. It is a sunset image taken on the Foothills Parkway. This image is a merging of three images exposed plus and minus 2/3 stop. I took it prior to any knowledge of HDR. My reason for the multiple exposures was to make sure I had a good exposure. It was taken with my first DSLR, a Nikon D100 and the Nikon 80-400mm lens. It wasn’t a day or two later that I dropped that lens and destroyed it. I pretty much bent it in the middle. Lesson learned was to make sure the camera and lens are securely fastened to your tripod before picking up your tripod. I ended up shooting the rest of the trip with one lens, a Sigma 24-85mm f2.8-4.0 lens.

A Morning Hike in the Garden of the Gods
[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”64″ display=”basic_slideshow”]On Saturday morning I drove to the Garden of the Gods. I have lived three hours away but I do not remember ever visiting. I thought it was beautiful and a great place to take photos. It is another amazing gift of art provided by nature. Found myself just standing in awe and wonder. So many questions ran through my head about how it was formed, the time it took, the laws of nature that have, and still are at work, in forming this scene and the native people who lived here. So, the rest of my today will consist of laundry and reading. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
