The pond...

Several years ago while still living in Joplin, we had a large Koi Pond and spent hours beside it watching the Koi. Last year we built one here losing a useless hill and gaining hours of enjoyment with the new addition. As  you know, I enjoy light and how the world interacts with it. We planted some Water Iris last year too late for them to bloom so it was somewhat of an unknown what to expect. This Spring has been delightful with the arrival of the blooms.

I'm sorry to be so brief but I have a commercial assignment to get to. I'll include more images of the pond at a later date.

Some things just can't be ignored.....

Saw it, had to keep it...

Time and technology......

Traveling through the southwest part of Oklahoma I was struck by the number of Windmills in the wind farms. Being in southern California several years ago I was impressed with the number there but I NEVER expected to see the number of them that we saw in my own state. It's like a marching group of troops facing into the wind. Their size is misleading when viewed from a distance as they don't look like they are 300 feet tall. The juxtaposition  of the older wind mill and the present ones was just too good to miss.

Floating Clouds...Anchored Rock......

In southwestern Oklahoma there are the remains of huge mountains that rose millions of years ago and have now dwindled in size leaving an incredible variance of formations. While traveling through the area recently I was struck by the variations of the land forms and quite frankly the amount of water in the lakes and streams. The rocks are mainly granite with some sandstone town in for "effect" and color variation. The fields appear to mainly grow rocks of all sizes and they are abundant where ever you look.

The force of the pressure that sent the mountains upward is visible in the angles of the huge slabs that support the whole pile. The color is typical Oklahoma red...aka after a few centuries..."Red Dirt". I guess the total palate could be boiled down to, as far as the rocks are concerned, red, grey, and black.
Mind you that these are not small rocks, they are huge boulders and slabs everywhere you look. From a distance the Mountains appear to be touching the sky. I caught a few shots and I'll show you some today and a few more tomorrow.

Fine day for Spring....

Was out this last weekend and caught a couple of shots that had perfect light. Soft and even....a get time to shoot.
