Wandering Whims

In the Summers at my parents’ house in Colorado I cover my windows each morning to keep my top floor room cool, and then throw them wide open at night so I can watch the blink of the wind generators, the wink of the stars, the travel of the highway traffic way off in the distance, and the rise and set of the moon. Consequently, in the mornings I am often awoken by the sunrise flooding through my deck door window. I won’t complain, they are some of the most beautiful views out here./June 19, 2021

I love macro photography but never had the right equipment for it. When I discovered that I could rig a pretty nice macro setup from some other lenses that I had sitting in my camera bag, I was ecstatic! I spent at least an hour sitting on the kitchen counter taking photos of a bouquet a friend had given me. This is one of my favorites from that shoot, as it really captures the gentle aesthetic and warm feel of those carefree Summer days that feel like they will never end. /August 11, 2020

I found out the day before that we were getting another one of these where I live! Around 9 my best friend and I took my tripod and all my blankets outside and set up a nest. Unfortunately, my pictures weren't as good this year as there was a haze. We watched until after midnight, and then headed inside frozen. ​ Super - it's gonna look big / Blood - it's gonna look red / Wolf - the full moon in January / Eclipse (in this case lunar) - the moon will be blocked by the shadow of the earth/Jan 20
