B&W style - Twin Lakes, Wasatch Mountains, Utah

Twin Lakes in B&W

Twin views of a Twin Lake

Didn't find the other lake that day, as the weather shortly turned nasty, spitting snow while we were minding our business looking at aspens up big Cottonwood Canyon.

I put this in the maybe pile when I was choosing my project for the SL Art Center B&W printing workshop. Even though I decided to go with the glass & architecture theme, I still like the lines of this one.

Enough rain

Downright depressing

Enough rain already, even the aspens are weeping. Three infectious diseases from last weekend's trip have sapped my enthusiasm for spring, tulips and cute little fermented-berry drunken cedar waxwings intent on killing themselves by flying into our windows. R was the hero, Tracy Aviary sent a licensed bird rescuer to collect the little beast last week. The incident occurred when it was 35deg on the porch, so we found it a box and a towel to keep it warm until they came. A broken wing and possible spinal injuries, chances were poor, but better than being eaten by a cat. We could all use a day of sunshine to air out our feathers, take a dustbath and clear the winter blahs away.

Wildflowers in Imogene Basin, San Juan Mountains, Colorado

Imogene Basin, Colorado

In Imogene Basin I waited for the cloud to drift from right to left until it aligned where I wanted it in my composition. One of my better pictures from a Rocky Mountain School of Photography workshop I did last July. Someday soon, I will have time to print some more from that adventure. Jeep rides up to 13,000', through snow, thunderstorms, hail and incredible vistas of wildflowers. I can't imagine what it will be like this year with all the moisture in the west. Just might have to go back on my own.
