I was inspired this morning after reading and commenting on Julie Langford’s Post. It made me remember that sometimes the journey – the people you meet, the things you learn along the way – is more important than the destination. So despite the bitter frosty morning I rugged myself up (two thermals are better than one) and set out to greet nature and the day with Sami and my trusty tripod in tow. Turns out The Day had advance warning from Nature that I was coming (I think it was the blue wren who visits me that let the secret out)... and together they turned on an absolutely gorgeous – albeit bloody freezing – show. This is most likely the easiest image I have ever had in post production, the only enhancement it has had is a slight vignette added. For the mist gently rising off the water… the glorious colour… the frost on the reeds… the delicate reflections… the beautiful ray of illuminating light… I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Nature and The Day.

Watercolor on watercolor board, original available. This painting is about empowerment, knowing one’s own worth, honoring oneself but respecting others as well. Its about having confidence in one’s abilities yet keeping the heart open. A closed mind gradually contracts and narrows, the open mind expands and illuminates. I intend this painting to convey the following message to anyone looking at it.: May Goddess light illuminate the very core of your being, may your heroine’s light shine forth. May this light ignite inner strength, and inspire bravery in all circumstances. May you walk the path of peace, the most difficult and challenging journey of all, with purpose and grace.

A bitterly cold morning on the surface of Mud lake. The rising sun offered little warmth but it did outline the frost on the cat tails and reeds.
This is one of a series of infrared shots that I took today from the banks of the local river.. / I thought the contrasts between the water, reeds, clouds and the sky turned out quite well.. / Hope you like it!

Just a few reeds in the Ankeveensche Plassen in the Netherlands. For me they are conveying a great feeling of harmony and peace. Near Ankeveen, 7th October 2007, 9.51 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 80 mm / F 18, 1/100, ISO 200

Herringfleet Mill can be found where you might least expect to find it – about twenty yards on the Suffolk side of the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Given Norfolk’s monopoly on spectacular, well-preserved mills, it seems only fair that neighbouring Suffolk should have a few of its own…although it should be noted that even this mill is officially in the Norfolk Broads. This photograph was taken on an extremely February day. A 13 seconds’ exposure captured the movement of the clouds as they raced across the East Anglian sky. Canon EOS 5D and EF 16-35mm lens. Exposure of 13 seconds at f/22.
A pastel sunrise on a bitterly cold February morning had frost clinging to the reeds along this Central Washington lake as a cold mist arose with the sun.

Reeds in the water. Fascinating…the base of each reed had a small water bubble reflecting the setting sun. Sandnes, Norway.
We have a lot of rain recently. Until a week ago these reeds were high and dry
