Sometimes you have to sacrifice to get an image. To do things you are routinely prepared to skip, do them on impulse, for the sake of curiosity or survival of your photographic essence, whichever comes first. For a change, wake up early, walk to an interesting destination, one with an aura of permanent popularity like a waterfall or beach, and infuse your artistic being with an extra dose of organic beauty. I reached the pristine flow and witnessed it right on time, tranquil and clear, painted by a mystifying glow, no sun or moon can claim. The sight was so surreal, the river itself had to stop and make a couple of circles before departing towards the sea. Scented green branches diluted their reflections in its placid water, the skeletons of fallen trees slowly morphed back into daylight shapes. The mist and part of the river that managed to take off as a vapor danced softly in mid air. I trapped a little playful bird with my eyes. / / A complete mental inventory for a fairy flavored daydream. Even if your digital masterpiece stays short of its cerebral counterpart, how can you fail to remember the sight that can suspend all of your uncertainties, the insanely lush hazy forest and its river that wears fallen leaves like jewelry. Well, is there a point in getting up early? If the just spoken plea is not enough I can give you a better reason. You should do it because you still can; a fact that may not be equally true tomorrow.

This is Lake Gunn, on the way to Milford Sound, on the South Island of New Zealand. The lake is within the boundary of the Fiordland National Park, and is surrounded by native bush. It was summer and early morning when this shot was taken. This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera.
Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Sawn Rocks Reflections As I stood looking up at these amazing rock patterns, I noticed that a small pool of water was reflecting the image above! Sawn Rocks, Mount Kaputar National Park is about 30 kms north-east of Narrabri on the Newell Highway, New South Wales. The mountains in Mount Kaputar National Park are the remains of active volcanoes in the area from 17-20 million years ago. These remarkable rock patterns are created when molten lava cools slowly enabling individual crystals to form and take shape as the lava shrinks as it cools.
In Nov ‘08, Jan’ 09, and again on March 7, 2009 this image was featured in the group, Alaska ~ Beyond Your Dreams. Many thanks to Sharon Mau (and her sister, Karon) for honoring this image! On a road trip through the state of Alaska, we came upon this beautiful lake. I didn’t make notes so now can’t remember the name of the lake or its location. Taken several years ago using my manual-focus SLR Canon AE-1. This image was scanned from a film print. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

Fire and water don’t usually mix, but in this case they seem to flow wonderfully together. Caney Fork River at the Rock Island State Park, Tennessee. (P.S. This is not a sunset photo. The color in the reflection is from the autumn leaves. It’s a little blurry because the water was moving).

A Brief History of the Royal National Park Sydney / The Royal National Park on the southern border of Sydney, New South Wales Australia, is Australia’s first National Park and after Yellowstone in the U.S.A. was the second National Park to be established in the world. The park was originally named The National Park but this was changed in 1955 after a quick visit by Queen Elizabeth II to the Royal National Park. It was created as a people’s park in 1879. Only 32km from the city centre of Sydney it is ideally located for Sydney locals and tourists alike to escape the pressures of the big city and relax in natural Australian bush, forest and coastal surroundings. The park covers an area of 132 sq km. / Royal National Park Sydney Map… National Park Bushwalking & Hiking / There are many walking tracks in the Sydney Royal National Park and ample access points to reach them.

A rock formation is reflecting itself in the blue pristine waters of Crater Lake. All of the beautiful colors of the trees, sky and the subtle, natural colors of the rock itself are reflected back. It is an isolated scene but one that I couldn’t ignore. Original image taken at Crater Lake National Park, off of Highway 62 in Southern Oregon.
