Pond/Sunset


This is a pond that is just below the shack in my last post. I would love to be a great wildlife/landscape photographer but I have not the patience of Job. I guess if you're really good you can predict where you need to be and when you need to be there. Of course, to get that good you have to pay your dues, which involves spending countless hours in cold water up to your crack waiting for the light to shine just right on that waterfall so it makes a rainbow. Even then its only a mediocre picture unless a flock of flippin doves fly under the rainbow or there's a small child sitting on a rock crying in the foreground. "No thanks," I say. I'll continue relying on my luck and charm to get me through the day thank you very much. Oh, and below is a sunset picture.

these are beautiful. a little dark on my screen but still beautiful. i miss the mountains a bit, now that i see your sunset picture. i'm glad you're not a nature photographer either, more trips to cities for us this way! i also do not have patience of job as you well know.

Nature photographer or not, you are good at taking photos, and I always learn something from looking at them because you teach powers of observation which, as Mark and Laura and probably Brian will tell you, I am not good at (at least in nature--I can spot details in a paper or novel or essay).
Don't stop taking nature pictures just because they aren't perfect. You certainly don't need to go to all the trouble those guys to to.
All the best, Kathy
