A tenacious tree
Who knows how that tree survives, clinging to the cliff like that? You have to admire its tenacity.

Uncharacteristic
It was an early morning: we left at 4:00 a.m. to head out of town to shoot the sunrise over the desert.

It loomed over Lubbock
Check out this cloud! I was working through the weekend (on my real job, which sometimes get busy) and when it was time to take a break, of course I went on a bit of wander to see what I could see.

And the thing is that just sitting and watching a scene unfold is new for me – usually I am more of the shoot-it-and-move-along sort of photographer. This slower approach doesn’t (yet) feel natural, but I’ll keep trying and see how it works out. (See, Brett Erickson: it looks like I am still learning from that class all the way back in July!)

To feel small in the landscape
With all this recent Pacific Northwest stuff, did you forget that I was in New Mexico earlier this summer?
This wild and lyrical place is near Abiquiu; my class at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops visited there; our visit was cut short by a lightning-filled storm, which could also probably be described as wild and lyrical.
If you want to feel small in the landscape, this would be the place to go.
