Snow in Vancouver !!!!!

While it is not unheard of that we get snow in Vancouver, it is always a surprise to us when it happens.  This morning my grandson invited me over to see the snowman he and his dad and mom made this morning.  I decided to take my camera along and here is the beast, all 8 ft high of him.

Back to Ukraine

I last visited Ukraine in 2003 when I took my mother there on a tour to see the birthplace of her parents in SW Ukraine.  I have always remembered the friendliness of the people and thought I would go back some time.  With no return on the immediate horizon, I thought I would review some of the images I took then.  I would love to return and do a better job of portraying the country and people with my work.

Live well and prosper

A Beautiful Day in Vancouver

Today was a magnificent day in Vancouver!  I had the opportunity to see the new apartment of my daughter's brother and sister in law.  As they are on the 38th floor of their apartment building, I thought the view would be good.  However, I was wrong, the view was magnificent !!!

Enjoy

Sand Dunes at Night

In keeping with my theme of showing composite images, here is one that I quite like.  The sand dunes were taken in Namibia during the day, and the sky comes from Hawaii also during the day.  My manipulating both images and then placing them together, I came up with the attached.  Enjoy.

Back To Alaska

A nice image taken about 30 miles north of Haines Alaska along the Chilkat River.  A beautiful sunny day compared to the other days which gave us snow, and then rain.

Enjoy

Live well and prosper.

Trees of Eagles

Taken in Haines, Alaska during a snowy morning.  I always liked the texture in this image, and show it here for your enjoyment.

A Pine Marten from Alaska

This little guy actually framed himself in my shot, by peeking nicely over a small mound of snow.  The fact it was snowing at the time added the white spots to his face.

Truly a "lucky" image by being in the right place at the right time.

A Prickly Fellow !!!!

I have a kind of affection for all the critters that I photograph around the world.  In my continuing editing of images taken in the past, I came across this fellow and an image I took in Alaska some years ago.  I like this image a lot.  After watching for about 5 minutes the red berries were all gone, and he moved on.

Live well and prosper.

The Way I Look At Things

I have always had an affirmation that I try to remember and live by, and that is: "when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"!  I apply this not only to new things that I may see, but also things I have seen in the past.  These things are usually represented by the thousands of images I have on my computer.  In my spare time, I revisit these "things", and reprocess them by changing the light, trying new filters, applying new procedures that I have learned.  Such is the case with the rose above.  As I looked at it the other day, it was a photo of a rose.  Nothing special, just a rose!  Today I viewed in a different light and feel that it gives it more character and interest, at least to me.

Maybe if we could see things and people in a "different light", the world would be a better and more interesting place.
