I got a heapin helpin of "creative soul food" yesterday morning. My photographer friend Craig and I returned to a beautiful place at the base of Avon Mountain I'd seen weeks earlier to photograph the oxbow during peak fall. A shout out and a thank you to Vince for letting us explore!
Well....due to scheduling & weather challenges, I uh...missed peak and had to settle for just a 'peek'. But did I really settle? NOT. It was spectacular. A crisp fall morning complete with dew and mist on the fields. People (but not gun) shy geese and colors galore. I especially loved the carpet of duck weed that covered the oxbow waters. Nooooo, you go look it up. I did.
I have named my lens' starbursts Maria because I like to think of her when I'm out in nature enjoying myself. Maria joined us for the outing.
This reminded me of a fish trapped in a net. The webs were glistening....everywhere!
Ok, here is the oxbow (a body of water that has been cut off from it's river source). I first saw it on a hayride and damn near jumped out of the wagon to get more time with it. I imagined coming back and it being surrounded by fall foliage at peak. oops. It's still pretty though isn't it?
Shy geese.
Dinosaur remains.
Oh, and this little sneak was trying very gingerly to get over that barbed wire fence. Careful dude you might get a stick in your fork.......
And of course a pause for personal reflection......uh reflection? Ok, close.
