Fire then Ice

2016-02-02 By Roger Edwards

How can we hoist an image up to both the Okie Winters and Burnscapes galleries? Like this! Unceremoniously toasted by the "Noble Fire" in 2012, enough of this fencepost survived to be covered in ice a year and a half later. Noble OK (21 Dec 13) Looking SW 35.149 -97.3706 … [Read more...]

Mooney Sunrise

2016-01-31 By Roger Edwards

Taking in a glorious sunrise from one side of the sky to the other, I realized that soon a rather unconventional composition soon would avail itself—dawn's half moon bathed in soft, feathery, coral-pink translucence of sunrise cirrus. Time for the zoom lens, quickly! Norman OK (31 Jan 16) Looking SW … [Read more...]

Sunrise Swath Overhead

2016-01-31 By Roger Edwards

The last sunrise of January 2016 was a treat, both from the opposite side of the sky and from this one.

For someone who is not often awake and outdoors at sunrise, that is a bonus and a blessing. The next view in this … [Read more...]

2016-01-30 By Roger Edwards

As the sun set beyond the Keweenaw Peninsula, the innermost corner of Keweenaw Bay reflected its golden glow, in turn silhouetting a lone heron. The big bird strolled back and forth through the shallow flats in search of a morsel, while we relaxed in the waning light of another fine summer day at Lake Superior.

Swimming Autumn Leaves

2016-01-30 By Roger Edwards

Quiet, clear pool waters of a small, shady stream held these recently submerged leaves in the same photogenic position as I found them. Being nestled in a narrow, damp canyon, protected from wind by the gorge's steep-walled depth and the overlying dense forest, here they probably stayed until the next rains washed them to the Wabash. Yet few people ventured into this branch of the canyon, and … [Read more...]
