Beauty can be something ugly sometimes....

Purdy Canyon Swamp April 2009


Sometimes things that seem ugly at first and there is death all around, like this swamp until you take the time to look deeper at the beauty that lies beneath the death and sparse branches of the naked trees and the oily, murky waters that on first appearances seem dirty and dark. My camera has helped to see all of the beauty that is there and the way the trees and the sunlight reflect on that same murky water and the colors that leap from the world around those trees like a frame on a painting. Until I took the time to see it all through the lens of my camera in ways that I would have never seen with my eyes.
