Kaleidescope

This is from our recent camping trip at Clifty Falls, in Indiana. It's right near Madison, one of our favorite places.

Normally, I shoot with my 100 mm macro lens, but we were hiking and had Gus with us so I thought the smaller 50 mm lens would be a better choice.

It's been a while since I shot with the fifty for an extensive shoot. It was fun to challenge myself to compose in a new way and break the routine of my usual approach. Besides that, the fifty can get even better bokeh than the macro!

And we all know that I'm a complete whore, um, sell-out when it comes to bokeh.

small beginnings

From a camping trip at Taylorsville Lake. We took an impromptu trip for one night and, after setting up camp, we spent the afternoon painting. I posed this little acorn on Sandie's painting.

autumn in Cherokee Park

Sandie and I were working at a picnic table near the Witch's Hat. The color was spectacular. Not a great shot, but I did want to capture the memory.

One of our favorite things to do is to have our work meetings at the park!

I'm experiencing significant clarity these days. I hurt my knee and will be off work for up to 8 weeks. The combination of pain and uncertainty about the future is causing me to be fully present to each moment. If I'm tempted to worry or fret, I ask myself if there is anything actionable. If not, then I release the worry, knowing that when the time comes to take action I will have all the wisdom I need. In the meantime, I have all the grace I need. And I am surrounded by love.

a past life

One from the archives, taken with a point and shoot. This the sky reflected in my minivan's rear window as it was parked outside the video game store my ex and I owned. Perhaps those bright skies are what called me to a better, more authentic life. Sans minivan, for one thing. :)
