Wild Plum Blooms Once Again… and other Signs of Spring.

Rain Day
On a Rainy March Afternoon I put the Rain Gear on the Camera, suited up and wandered out. Rain Days are the Worst and the Best. Shooting in the Steady Rain is a challenge not only just to Keep the Gear Dry, Lenses free of Water Spots and to see the Viewfinder through Foggy Glasses – but at this Time of Year it can get Cold and Unpleasant fast when Wind picks up, Rain comes Sideways and Clothes get Wet as they eventually always do. Everything just takes a Lot Longer. On this Day I lasted Five Hours.
But on these Magical Days all the Colors are Richer and More Vibrant. When Everything is Wet the Prairie looks Very Different than at Any Other Time. Sometimes One can See it once again with Beginner’s Eyes. And that makes it All Worthwhile. It is my Favorite Time to be Out There…
What a Difference a Day Makes…
Here are two slides shows of images made on February 23 & 24, 2017. I almost never go to the prairie two days in a row and also never take the same route twice. But on these two days, waiting for a winter storm to blow in and then during the storm, I thought it would be interesting to see how the prairie changes from day to day… sometimes dramatically.
A February Love Song
Wandering down into and back out of the moist West Draw
seeking images of impermanence and renewal &
visiting an old friend, the big fallen cottonwood…
on an unseasonably warm February afternoon.
Winterlight
A crisp afternoon spent wandering around under the muted light and soft shadows of early February in the West Draw and nearby.
