There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don’t be bitter because you can’t record it. Sit down, drink it in. and enjoy it for what it is! – DeGriff

I’m not sure if there is a sunset that is not glorious. I can’t remember when I was unable to drink one in and and enjoy it. They are all glorious. I admit some sunsets may show more color or rays of light than others but they all move us to some degree.

I’m beginning to know all the country roads east of the airport by name, where to park my car, how long it takes to get there and the best times to be there. If this keeps up I may get to know all the farmers and their dogs.

Some of the therapeutic value of photography is the time in nature creating images. I say therapeutic because these moments nurture my spirit. I so love a sunrise, whether I have my camera or not, just because they bring a rest and peacefulness to me. I also have those places that call me repeatedly to come and experience them, wanting to touch something deep within me.

I have been living out here in Ohio now for over a year, time sure has flown by. I’ve had enough time to feel comfortable here, settled in. Yet, with my children, grandchildren and long time friends back in Colorado, I do miss them. The landscape is so different out here and one thing I miss is the the wide open space the plains of Colorado provided. I also miss those places of familiarity like this farm.

This image is of the same farm as this image only taken on different days but just about the same location.
