Happiness
Monday, February 18, 2013
Well it was a whirlwind end to 2012 and a fast paced beginning to 2013, and I needed a bit of a break! But it is nice to get back here again and into a routine once more. I'm feeling good things in store for 2013 and a renewed creative energy. I'm really enjoying pairing my images with words, quotes and affirmations and I hope you like this new venture. Find Happiness Surrounds Me HERE.

Day 7 Gratitude Project - To Everything There is a Season {Ohio Nature Photographer}
Monday, November 7, 2011
Each day I spend time in nature - often with Maggie. There is a comfort to seeing the patterns of nature & seasonal changes. My heart & soul welcome the sounds and sights of each season - the changing calls of the birds, migrations, leaves emerging and then falling, days growing long then short. It all helps me to stay grounded and connected to a higher power. And I feel blessed to be such a small part of this large and amazing creation.

In the heart of the world there is a place that holds the secret names of the rocks & the trees & all the children of the earth & around it gather women & men who hold it dear & each night they stand together to keep it safe for as long as it takes till morning comes & no matter what you have been told, this will always be so, in the heart of the world.

Fog {Columbus Ohio Fine Art Photographer}
Wednesday, December 8, 2010
WE had a very dense and magical fog this November. Upon wakening and seeing the magical world outside the window, I grabbed my camera to capture what I could. I started at the metropark just a mile away, Blendon Woods. This is my usual haunt on foggy days. But the fog was so dense that I wondered if it was still heavy into the city. I traveled to Franklin Park Conservatory in the heart of Columbus, Ohio. The fog was still hanging in the landscape for some moody shots there. These are by far some of my favorite shots. All photographs were processed in Lightroom using Joyful Lightroom Presets (for jpg) & can be found in the sidebar. I thought it only fitting to end the post with foggy poems! Enjoy!
Most of the photographs featured here are available in MY SHOP!
FOG
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor & city
on silent haunches
& then moves on.

DECEMBER'S MYSTIC MOON
Majestic Oaks in silent solitaire
and Midnight's cold December air,
Rolling hills beneath Heaven's hem of grayish blue
Crowns the earth embraced by northern lights, and
gentle winter's mystic moon.
An unclothed scent of cedar's burnt, and
caressing valleys below,
Inspires Nature's misty gown of rising fog.
~ J Gregory PT Evans
It’s a mysterious morning in the wood as the fogs settled in
Fog dances with the wind through the trees twirling
A hazy white blanket diffusing scattering the light
Everything looks so different tricking your sight
The sun rays pours down breaking through the trees canopy
Linear streaks of light highlighting objects we see
Mysterious fog plays with the light as things it conceals
So when you are only near objects magically reappear
Strange shaped shadows jump out from the teasing mist
And twigs and objects appear that at first you did miss
The gloomy cold fog tries hard to hide the light of the new day
But the darkness and mystery it brings is not there to stay
The wind helps the sun to blow the mist from our sight
And wind sun versus the fog start their regular teasing fight
As normal the fog slowly loses, thins to a light haze in the air
Going patchy with little dancing wisps here and there
The light and the wind always it wins afterall
But the fog would just quickly disappear from us all
But look closely he left a present from his newly departed mist
On foliage are water jewel droplets where it gently kissed

14.30~ A Day Off
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
I had a much needed day off today - finally! I ended the day at my favorite haunt of late - the Bio Reserve in Granville. A regal 6 point buck kept crossing paths with Mags & me - he just strolled by! There were all sorts of fabulous birds foraging & calling. The day was a balm to my soul!
