Let us begin today with a contortionist. One called the Sandill Crane.

Wait and you will receive.

If memory serves, this huge birdie was standing still and at attention when it decided to do some feather work to keep things in condition for flying. Something all airborne birds do, but when they are as big as the one you see below, well, everything they do will make a nice image.

Ahhhhhh, some more rich, morning light in the American west.

I loved those craggy branches and how they added some roughness to an otherwise colorful but gentle scene. This part of the world is beautiful, especially in the first or last light of day, but gentle it is not.

Remember, often both verticals and horizontals are a good idea.

I believe I was in Utah shooting across a great canyon towards Colorado when I captured this scene. If memory serves, this is sunset not sunrise.

In the scenes like above, keep your exposures a bit under a gray card neutral reading. That will make sure you do not wash out those glorious colors.

I love “little wildlife”. Be it a caterpillar or a spider. I have spent many days of my live, crawling around in fields and forests, looking for such subjects. Those were good days.

Sunrise/sunset does not always have to be a grandiose scene, with deep red colors painting the land. Sometimes the shapes of nature, and a little sky and/or water, and a narrow window can make for an intriguing Image.

Finally let us finish with a somewhat odd sunrise. The two bird silhouettes bring just enough life into this scene to make ir interesting.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

That life comes though our faith in what Jesus did for us. Neither I nor any of you, have what it rakes to earn our Salvation by our works.

Works, especially evangelizing, are however a part of what a true Christian does. We want to because of the Grace and Salvation given by God through the part of God, known as the Son.

I am a sinner who needs a Savior. How about you?

Thank you for stopping by and may God Bless,
