The Extraordinary of the Ordinary-An Expedition

Looking cozy and warm...

Okay...not so much. :)

Enjoying the beautiful fall foliage.

I used one of my favorite techniques, a long shutter-speed to "tame" the water.


Do you see the photographer in the bubbles below?



I studied this one rock (below) for over an hour...it just never got old. I loved watching how the the water flowed across the rocks, making ripples wherever one protruded above the surface. I loved how the water caught the scattered light from the canopy above and glistened like crystal in the morning. Sitting with my feet in the freezing water I watched as several leaves floated past, dancing in the current and clumsily bumping into rocks in the ballroom. These captured my interest as you can see, and provided some very intriguing subject matter. I was amazed with the water flowing over my bare feet, I thought about the intricacy of each drop of water, which on it's own seemed vastly insignificant but were it not for those tiny droplets we could not survive. Water is yet another magnificent aspect of God's creation, it is present in nearly everything, and can take on so many different forms. It moves, it ripples, and at times seems to have a mind of it's own. :)







There are countless photographic opportunities everywhere we go if we will but take the time to notice them.
