Tranquility – Part 02
While the main purpose of my visit to Montazuma was to photograph birds, I was also attracted to the landscape of the wetlands. Today’s photo of one of the large pools there was for me a place of tranquility that induced a sense of peacefulness and well-being. Sometimes we just need to stop and enjoyContinue reading “Tranquility – Part 02”
Rest a While – Part 04
For me there is something soothing and peaceful about the sight and sound of waves breaking against the shore. I also find seeing nothing but water from shore to horizon and the power of the waves that reminds me of the vastness of our world and how awesome the God who created it is.

Water that makes life possible asContinue reading “Signs of Spring – Part 03”
January Thaw – Part 03
For me this picture has a mysterious feel to it. It makes me wonder what lies hidden in the midst. At the same time for me the midst creates a sense of detachment from the everyday world and a sense of peace. I find that as I explore Nature and contemplate scenes such as this worryContinue reading “January Thaw – Part 03”
