A Couple of Favorites

I shoot a lot of photographs... I mean, a lot of photographs. If I were to guess, I'd say I shoot about 10,000 photographs each year. 

Many of the photos are photos of every trip we take... hundreds of photos each day while out and about on vacation or around town. I could easily shoot a couple of hundred photos at a single family event. This adds up quickly and it also means that I have a lot of photos that I've never shared with anyone.

Some of these photos are not the greatest because of poor timing... poor light... missed focus... or uncooperative subjects. Some are okay but are a bit boring. Many are exceptional though. Here are two photos that I've never shared before that fall into the "I love them!" category... both from the lake... 

I like the warmth of this scene... the calm waters... reflected warm colors... the sun flare... the deep shadows of early morning... the overall softness...




On another day nearing sunset, while we were out kayaking with Lukey and Kenzie, we found these two young ducklings sunning themselves near Boulder Beach in the warm setting sun. Mama Duck was nearby but let me get a few shots of her babies before she waddled over to tell her babies to move up on shore away from the crazy people in the kayaks...

Although I wish that both ducklings were looking my way, this is still a nice shot... I like the warmth from the setting sun...  and it is nice to have captured a nice image of some young ducklings!
