Traveling through several states on the way south for the winter gave me a chance to see the beauty in wide open spaces of land and sky. It challenges my eye to find something out of the ordinary in all that openness.

Ok, so now you know one of my weaknesses... wildflowers. I will bring wildflowers into my home as often as I bring flowers from my garden. I was driving along in the countryside when ahead of me were these brilliant strips of flowers being raised for seed. I was in heaven!!

Billions of blooms

A recent trip to Canada took me through Alberta and British Columbia. There are so many breath-taking scenes - around every turn in the road with mountains, lakes, rivers, & animals. I can only give you a glimpse of the magnificent, jaw-dropping beauty. Some of the power in this area is being surrounded by the vastness... I never get bored with driving through Jasper, etc.

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.
