Art in Motion, Study 1

"Art in Motion", Study 1.
This is one of several frames that I'm giving this title. Rarely, I have this grand experience of a flock of Geese encircling me. It's easy to become mesmerized during the experience and not think how to record it. Luckily, this flock gave me time to be capture this moment creatively. I purposefully used a slow exposure to accentuate the motion, but even so, you can see the varied levels of motion. The more you look, the more you see.

What I find amazing, is that hundreds of Geese can take off, fly around me, then settle back down in a matter of minutes, in complete harmony.

Tree in Snow

Tree in Snow, Christmas 2012. I found something mystical about the light near this tree. The fact that it's alone with the other trees in the background, various branches on the ground, and twisted barbed wire fence suggest stories that the tree could tell if possible.
