A smaller collection of nature images that are close in and intimate with emphasis on composition, color and texture in nature.
These willow trees were heavy in hoar frost this morning creating some surreal images.
This is an image of an aspen copse created by intentional camera movement. I thought the side light into the otherwise darker grove could best be described as metaphorical.
Klikuk, or Spotted Lake, near Osoyoos, B.C., has been a sacred medicine lake for the Syilx people for hundreds of years. Tradition has it that the person who desires healing has invitation to go down to its shores and find their own "circle" to immerse themselves in. I chose this particular frame for the heart shaped pool in the foreground with footsteps around it. Who knows?
Just a few images of people getting outdoors and discovering themselves.
This is Rattlesnake Island on Okanagan Lake in the southern interior of British Columbia. The island, one of two on the 100 mile long lake, is reputed to be the home of the legendary water creature, the Ogopogo. Its lair apparently lies just beneath the swimmer. I told him after he jumped though he probably would have jumped anyway!
Just a few images from my out of control aspen collection!
Image has been very slightly drybrushed for painterly affect
