“When we show up to make art, we need to get still enough to hear what wants to be expressed through us, and then we need to step out of the way and let it. We must be willing to abide in a space of not knowing before we can settle into knowing.”

They are predicting snow by midday so I made my way to Pineridge Natural Area in hopes of predawn red skies. I bundled up, made myself a chai and headed up there. We just never know what will be given. Thankfully nature provided the scene, the colors, the clouds, the cold, the wind and I showed up to be a part of it. I bracketed this shot and chose the image that was underexposed by one stop to draw out the colors in the sky. Now sitting at Starry Night enjoying a mocha latte made by Douglas to add to this day. Hope everyone has a great day! It’s starting out beautiful here!

Amazing clouds and bands of color along the horizon, Monte! Well worth the early-hour trek. A mocha latte sounds pretty good…been a while since I’ve had one. I hope you have a great day.

Thank you! I thought is was worth the early rise time. I would suggest finding a mocha latte or whatever grabs your fancy, and enjoy. As warm as it’s been for you maybe and iced chai would hit the spot.

Stunning image! Nature gave and you accepted.

Yes, and nature now is giving us snow. It started about noon, just as they predicted. It’s not supposed to be much but roads will be a mess and along with ti comes the colder temperatures. Hope you’re enjoying your day!
