.....(And now- from the desert to the snow :-)....

A few days ago, right after our big snowstorm in our region of the US,
I ventured out to Merrril Creek Reservoir (otherwise known locally as: "Lake-'Never-Lets-Us-Down' ")...There is ALWAYS something to photograph at this place, it is just unbelievable.

I went to Merrill Creek Reservoir with the intention of "shooting" some geese. But,they were WAY on the other side of the lake... so I wound up capturing some other very fun images....I'll share them with you over the next 2 or 3 posts. :-)

NIKON D800 1/30 second F/5.6 ISO 100 28 mm (35mm equiv.)

** Staples Singers - "Respect Yourself"

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"; Earth Wind and Fire
