The morning fog would creep in, then creep back out. You can see it hiding in the background.

This wooden path leads to a very large cemetery, my first adventure to a segregated cemetery. Different religions each had their section, as did ethnicities. Sadly, the town's single black person was buried outside the graveyard all by herself. How incredibly stupid!!!! The dead have no need for racism!! I fear we might just be headed to this same level of idiocy once again.

The fog settled in and created an amazing display that I knew I had to stand in the middle of the street for...safety was out the window.

The fog makes an attempt at hiding this gazebo from the world. It worked for a few minutes. Placed in the middle of a small pond/lake, this gazebo serves as a community meeting place/fishing hole/picnic spot for MANY locals. The wildlife in the area seems to agree and often tries to come hang out with the humans. BUT, don't be fooled, they just ate at the table down the way and are only taking advantage of your naivety.

Sunrise at the Straight of Juan de Fuca in Washington State. The land mass across the water is Canada.

Newport, OR. The freshwater creek flowing out to the ocean made a really cool pattern in the sand on the beach.... I couldn't resist the shot.

Sunset on the beach in Yachats, OR. Hot dogs on the beach, iced tea, sunset, immense staircase down to the beach.....All the ingredients for a stellar evening on the coast!

Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. I've never seen so many tulips in my life...and I'm pretty old.

PNW.... Time to head to the coast?? #pnw #pnwphotography #woodenshoetulipfarm #yachats #straightofjuandefuca #photography #sonya65 #newport #oregon #washington #travel #travelphotography #beachlife #westcoast

We go on photography adventures a lot, and I truly love blue hour and sunrise for my captures. On this day, the Colorado skies were off the charts. So much changed in the 45 minutes of sunrise at this location that it almost seems fake, but there I was. I've traveled the world looking for amazing things to capture, only to discover some of the most amazing things...are just up the road a piece. Thanks for stopping in today! In this capture, the clouds hide an otherwise amazing blue sky with just enough cloud cover to look like a fluffy blue pillow with shards of white sunlight trying desperately to escape the clouds and illuminate the lake. As the clouds shield the world from the sun...farther off in the distance, the clouds have broken and the orange lit horizon announces...."GOOD MORNING" to the farms and early risers! Reflecting all of this color, Windsor Lake hides a couple of early morning pelicans staking claim to a floating log that appears to be prime real estate on the water. We're planning a trip back to this location very soon. I hope the Gods will present a gift like this once again!

A long exposure creates silken thread cascades in this waterfall in Colorado. If you look really close, you can see a rainbow in the capture.

An old mining shack stands up to the elements and time as it proudly remembers a time when this was a bustling community.

BLUE HOUR in Colorado. A circle of lichen-encrusted boulders protects the reflection of Hallett Peak on Bear Lake as a fingertip of the sun touches just the upper edges of the mountain range. The Alpenglow almost looks red as the morning announces its arrival. It had just finished raining buckets minutes before this shot. The colors of the surrounding trees and brush, with greens and yellows, let us know that fall is fast approaching the park! Just below the surface of the water within the circle of rocks lurks a pod of fish that I have video of from this location, taunting me with what could be laughter, but I don't speak like fish so I'm guessing. Nonetheless, they certainly had fun teasing me! If you plan to go to RMNP, go very early in the morning or you might be riding a shuttle bus. Parking is unheard of after 8 a.m. One of my favorite lakes in the state, It can be packed with people, but you won't see them unless you are hiking to or from any of the other lakes and trails in the area. Make plans now to get out and see this amazing location.
