Sunset at the Arapaho Bend Nature area. Taken while sitting on the ground and fighting mosquitoes. I lost. This is a composite of three images and processed with HDR Efex Pro then tweaked in Lightroom 4. It’s different.

Always Changing
Arapahoe Bend Nature Area I love how clouds are always changing their shape and color. I still will lay down on the ground and watch them as theymake their art.
Something is wrong with my theme so that when you click on the image it gives you another page with a smaller image for comments. So, if anyone is inclined to leave a comment you will need to click on the title of this post.

Two Geese and a Sunrise …
Just Before Sunrise … makes for the start of a good day. Even with a head cold and hacking cough I rose early yesterday and headed out to the Arapahoe Bend Nature area to greet the morning sun. I find the quiet and beauty in nature to be a healer for what ails me. I was still coughing and hacking when I got back to my condo but sure felt better.
When asking yesterday what light people enjoyed, Paul mentioned morning and evening light. I agree and when you look back over my archives there are plenty of sunrise and sunsets shots to choose from. Being a morning person and enjoying time in nature also draws me to this time of the day. Many people are just getting up or on their way to the cubicle so not many people or traffic to deal with either. I setup my camera and tripod then took a sip of my hot chocolate when these two Canada Geese make their way into my scene. I smiled, took the images I wanted and thanked them. (Yes, I talk to birds.)
So, the snow started yesterday and as of this morning we have about 4 inches. Have a Super Saturday!

A Time for Contemplation
Taking in the Sunset It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. It is light I “listen” to. The light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. After sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. I see magic in the quiet light of dusk. I feel quite, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. A sense of magic prevails. A sense of mystery. It is a time for contemplation, for listening – a time for making photographs.

Listen to the Songs
The Pink Sunrise at Arapahoe Nature Area A bird does not sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song.
Chinese proverbI love listening to the birds sing in the morning. My favorite is the meadowlark. No, it’s the robin. Wait, I think it’s the sparrow or the wren or the ….
