I love to ramble/explore with camera in hand, both near and far; back roads are the best. Sharing beauty from around the world. All photos are mine, unless reposted. Motto: Take the day you are given and find the beauty in it! βœˆοΈπŸš—πŸ“Έ

One of those perfect moments when I was thrilled to have my camera in hand.

One more that goes along with my last post. About 30 mins later maybe, next parking lot over. Got lots of cool shots of the lightning but I think this one is my favorite.

A snowy road in the country going up a hill, under a snow cloud sky. There's a fence on the left and glimpses of buildings and trees up the hill.

Two adults and a small child stand under a pink umbrella as the snow comes down. They stand against a grey wall, off of a city street, looking across a courtyard with tree branches. Black and white contrasts throughout. The people and one streetlight are the only spots of color.

After spending some time in the Eastern Sierras, I made a quick stop to an iconically unique and special place.

Two seasons in one frame at Lake Jasna.

Amazing light, colours and scenery, captured during our Autumn in Slovenia photography workshop.

Snow covered rocks and grasses along a shoreline in the foreground. Water and mountains in the distance.

A wintry #scape from #AntelopeIsland in #Utah. From the archives. No snow yet this year where I live. It's been a warm and wet winter β˜”οΈ

A stack on a black sand beach, with some low cliffs to the right and snowy mountains above. The waves are making white lines on the sand where they recede. There is a little low sea fog.

I love winter for photography, but it can be cold! This shot was the coldest I ever got...and in only 15 minutes! By the time I got back to the car, my fingers were so numb, it took multiple tries for my car fob to unlock the door! Here is to winter! #BlueSkyMonday #Photography #EastCoastKin

A snowy landscape. Water in the front, leafless trees on the side, a field with scattered buildings, and mountains in the background.

Abandoned cabin along the Missouri River. Another of my personal favorites for a myriad of reasons. It's even in color!!!! πŸ€ͺ

Been a long week. I hope y'all are good.
