We went out yesterday morning and it was cold (-20C) cold. Yet the water was flowing over this small drop along the Platte River in South Denver.
A pinhole camera is a great tool for cold weather photography. No batteries, no mechanical parts and I can operate it with mittens on.

After the hoopla it’s nice to have a nice quiet start to the New Year.
Looking out into the Pacific ocean on a foggy morning on Vancouver Island.
You might not be able to see into the distance but there is still plenty to look at.
Rocks, water fog and sea.
As sure as the sun sets and waves come and go.
Another calendar year passes
May your 2017 be full of wonder with more ups than downs along the way.
Happy New year to all.
On Saturday at mid-morning we spotted this Coopers hawk tidying up a bit on a broken old Cottonwood branch. He looked like he has had a bit of a rough time lately with his feathers looking downright scruffy. After a half hour or so of preening his feathers were back in fine order and he was off again hunting in nearby woods.
We saw this guy while out walking on cold foggy morning. He looks charming enough but a gut feeling told me to not get so close that he could wrap his frosty arms around you. I kept him at camera length and admired his beauty and thanked him for allowing us to take a photo.

Three gulls take to the wing and seem right at home on a stormy rainy afternoon off the Oregon Coast.
The rattle of kingfishers flying off as we approach. The chirping of an eagle high up in the tress. The gentle lapping of the waves rolling into a quiet cove.
Feeling connected to it all even as the fog rolled in.
Built form the earth and carved by the sea.
Nature’s a fortress protecting me.
while on a walk at a local park a branch fallen from an old Cottonwood tree reminded me to stop see the long view and the long view is mostly unknown. Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera and Kodak Tmax 100 iso film.
Seeking and sometimes finding that little piece of solitude keeps the journey going on.
