I actually took this image yesterday, so I'm a day late posting this one. This was a long exposure, 13 seconds, using a polarizer and a neutral density filter that used a zoom during the exposure. I was thinking of photography capturing a particular moment and how life is made of many moments that flow together. I wanted to try to grab something of the fluidity of time, as I am working with in my fire series, and apply it to a traditional landscape. It left me with a haunted feeling that I can't quite put into words. I just know that I liked the effect and am going to have to explore this more i

Life persists. We just had our first sleet of the year a couple of days ago and today I found this little guy flying around a couple of plants that still have flowers in our butterfly garden.

He tends to know when to show up and what to do to lighten the mood.

There, that wasn't too bad. If you are reading this, I hope I haven't bored you. If you have any questions about my photography or photography in general please ask. 

I hope you have a safe, prosperous and joyful 2013.
