Art in Motion

Graceful and fluent like an undersea ballet.  Mesmerizing. Inhabiting every layer of the ocean.  From the very surface down to the darkest depths. Magnificent and fragile. A gorgeous light show beneath the waves.  Creating a feeling of delighted admiration.  An overwhelming feeling of Awe.  A compelling appreciation for the creation of these beautiful creatures. 

Natures Showcase

I am so incredibly pleased with this photo.  When I was shooting this I really did not think that it was going to turn out.  I took this in the early evening and I love the effect of the black behind these foxgloves.

 It is so wonderful when you can find the smallest things to treasure. 

So many different kinds of Wine

Wine is the drink of the High Society and has conquered over the best of them. No doubt, everyone's favorite part of drinking wine is paring it up with the perfect food.  Reaching all palate expectations! Of course, the presentation is elevated beyond compare with that perfect match.  Blind tasting, breathing, decanting, mulled wine, well placed acidity, held in a well bodied frame.  To really know ones wine one must really have a love affair. Diving into it with all its grape generated glory. 

Enjoy the Beauty that Surrounds

I enjoy my little hikes and explorations searching for those perfect photographic moments.  There is something so alluring and inspiring in its solitude. This summer I found this little ant taking a drink inside one of the Lily's in our backyard. 

Its truly captivating how intricate life is. Even when we are going about our busy lives there is so much in life that is crawling, creeping, floating, flying, and bouncing by. How gorgeous is this world we live in?!  You can never plan your photograph. Its impossible to know what the elements of nature are going to bring you.

There is nothing like the enjoyment of hunting down that perfect moment. The possibilities are endless. Our world is full of subjects. No matter where we are or what time of year it is.  Still, I find myself wondering. Is this really worth a photo? Is there a subject that draws your eye or am I just not inspired? Is there something that I am just not seeing? Nature is so elusive that we really have to let it "speak to us".
