Playing with black and white is fun for me. It makes you wonder what era the picture might be from - old or current?? I tend to want to explore the picture more closely to see if I can tell from details in the photo. I also love to focus the attention on the contents of the picture and not let the colors distract your eye. Structures lend themselves to b & w because the structure itself is outlined so definitely.

Summer is a time of relaxing, travel, family and fun for me. I love being outside enjoying the warm weather (and we actually got some this year...). During a recent trip to Canada, I found some more scenery that inspired me to take photographs... like that takes anything too awesome. Most are taken on the fly as we drove by - it's more challenging than stopping to take that perfect picture!!

I have been accused of being obsessed by water as I spend the summer in Oregon after being in Arizona for 6 months. I do miss the rivers, creeks, & falls that make Oregon so green... maybe not the puddles though! These pictures are taken on the Alsea River and at Alsea Falls.

After spending a day in Cascade Locks on the Columbia River in Oregon, I chose to share the river, and views from the island. Very special place to the Native Americans and such a beautiful scene... If you haven't ever visited the Columbia River Gorge, please put it on your wish list of vacation spots.

Spring brings a host of bloomers in the woods and sometimes you have to look VERY closely to even see them because they are so tiny. I actually had to lay on the ground to get some of these pictures because they were miniature. I love capturing the precious details - each line, spot or delicate color.

What is it about Spring that makes me want to wander through the fields and woods randomly shooting picture after picture after picture of newly bloomed and sprouted beauties?... oh yeah! Is it the lack of cold and wind and rain...NOPE! It's just that I love the promise of new life!There is a whole new world out there right now......

As I worked my way across several states, I rediscovered the beauty of familiar scenes through the power of more black and white pics. It can take you back in time just with the removal of color. There can be a nostalgia that evokes personal memories that makes each photo a unique experience for each viewer.
