Thanks, Shaun. Too kind, perhaps, but I appreciate your generosity!

Thanks, Brian.

This is an image of water flowing over rocks, yet such a description suggests its location might be important. The image, primarily, is a quick study of the whites of water creating a kanji-like presence against a dominantly black background.

* such a description suggests its location might be important; however, this overly simple image is, primarily, a quick study of the whites of water creating a kanji-like presence against a dominantly black background.

This is an image of the sun setting below the cliffs along the shoreline.

This is a black and white image of a few rocks sitting in the water of a beach shoreline. In the foreground, a stream of water curves by on its way to the ocean-- and in the background clouds rise above the scene as the light shines.

This is a very basic image of a road winding through dairy farms and towards some light. You can see telephone poles and wires on the side of the road.

This is an image of an oak tree on a grassy hill, the morning light shining through the bare branches on a winter morning.

I have visited twice now. A lovely place to walk, indeed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and image. I wish you many wonderful walks.

This is a black and white image of a rectangular rock on the shoreline-- with part of an island-like sea stack in the distance on the right. The wet sand includes reflections of the sea stacks.

Thank you, Wolfgang.

Thank you, Paul!

Thanks, Shaun.

Thanks, Gary!

Thanks as always, Grant. I am wishing you and your family much grace and happiness.

Such an exquisite record that is!

Truly beautiful contrast of light and clouds expressed through those rich blues.

This is a black and white image of a trio of rocks in the water and four rocks in the sand and water of the shoreline. In the distance, the light breaks through the clouds.

The jazz trio …

I spend very little time in Photoshop— typically somewhere from several minutes to fifteen minutes. While my work is definitely all digital, I find whatever I find by digitally burning and dodging using Photoshop and Nik Silver Efex Pro. Thanks for your kind words.

This is a photograph of a group of eucalyptus trees, most of which are settled in a dip on a hill above a dairy farm. One of the trees stands to the left of the group as if it is not part of that group. Above the trees, the light breaks through some clouds.

Found on an aimless drive through the Petaluma dairy farms in Sonoma County, California. I have always loved how that one tree on the left stands apart from the crowd (and how how the one to the right of it looks as if it wishes to join that tree).

Thanks you

Thank you
