Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley. ~Theodore Roethke

Outdoor Spaces Outdoor places to enjoy. A circle around a fire is a pleasure on a warm afternoon. Waiting to light the spark that will bring heat and a conversation to remember. Spaces to breathe and to relax. A place to call home and a country to enjoy. I sit here and ponder the beautiful landscape as I dream in color. A way to pass the time and a goal to achieve. I love the mountains and the valleys as […]

Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider. ~Saint Augustine

Horses On A Hillside During the month of May in the Methow Valley the Arrowleaf Balsamroot flower grows wild on the hillsides and is fragrant and beautiful. I love to ride my mountain bike along the trails and breathe deeply of the soft scents blowing in the wind. On this particular day I looked up and saw these pretty horses getting lunch up off the trail. I always carry my camera with me and so I pulled it out and […]

Look to the sky and what do you see….. Is there a correct answer for you or for me?

June 30, 2013 by owfotografik

In the beginning this image was a photograph that I took while my children were swimming in the local pool down in the park and I was wandering around with my camera. I am fascinated by clouds., and as I often do, I looked to the sky for inspiration. I could look at them for hours and hours watching the scene change as the winds blow them here and there. Depending on the weather and whether or not you are […]

It is always wise to look ahead but difficult to look further than you can see. ~Winston Churchill

There is a spot on the MVSTA trail system where a local glass blower has set up a sort of sculpture. I am fascinated by glass as it is and to have blue glass out in the sunshine is such a visual treat. I stop each time I see this and just admire the sun coming through the glass. This arm will move depending on how the wind is blowing and so it is never in the same spot when […]

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ~Buddha

Capturing this moment in time and remembering the past. Along my biking trail is this old home. I stop and contemplate the history here. Someone planted trees and flowers long ago. Maybe a garden and children playing in the yard. Or was there time for that. Did the past owners of this home stop and enjoy their surroundings or were they too busy working the land and dreaming of better days? Some things live on and endure the ravages of […]

Stoned stones or infinite wisdom from above?

June 26, 2013 by owfotografik

Rocks in a mountain stream speak of infinite wisdom from above. I have forever been fascinated by rocks. I love the colors they have in them that are only really apparent when they are wet. Glorious rocks that have been shaped by elements we can only begin to understand. Each one of them has a story. They were created by an event and shaped by time. I see so many various tales and experiences when I look at a rock. […]

“Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.” Diane Ackerman
