A contemplative vertical landscape captured at {f/2.8}, creating a delicate bokeh effect. The foreground features the sharp, dark silhouettes of winter branches, their "skeletal lace" rendered in crisp detail against a soft-focus background. The sky is a tranquil gradient of dusky rose and pale violet, reflected subtly in the calm waters below. A light crust of snow sits at the bottom of the frame, grounding the ethereal light in the reality of a cold Black Rock evening. The intentional focus on the near branches emphasizes finding clarity amidst a blurring world.

Finding the hush in the branches. Goodnight, Bluesky.

A horizontal photograph of two young, light-brown Jersey calves standing side-by-side against a rustic wooden fence background. The calf on the left looks directly at the camera with a curious expression, while the calf on the right looks slightly off to the side. Both have soft, fuzzy coats, large dark eyes, and dark muzzles. A weathered tree trunk is visible on the far left edge.

Double Trouble

Seeing double at the farm today. These two were more than happy to strike a pose for the #Two theme! 🐮🌾

A close-up, vertical photograph of two peach-colored roses against a dark, moody background. The rose in the foreground is in sharp focus, showing delicate, ruffled petals that curve inward. Just above it, a second rose is visible but softly blurred, creating a sense of depth. The lighting is gentle, highlighting the warm apricot and pink tones of the blooms.

Echos of peach, Two is better than one

A wide-angle evening shot of the Rooster River under a dramatic, heavy sky. A dark, winding path of water cuts through thick, fractured white shelf ice. The sun, setting at 4:00 PM, breaks through a gap in the dark grey clouds, casting a golden, amber glow across the horizon and reflecting off the icy surface. The silhouette of a distant tower and winter trees anchors the horizon, creating a scene of profound stillness and natural transition.

"The river flows. The river does not try to be anything else. If you are a river, then just be a river." — Thich Nhat Hanh

4pm light breaking over the ice. A moment of just 'being.'

Good Evening, BlueSky. 🙏🏼💙🌅
