Penning Photography Daily

I passed this one up, over a year ago when I first took it.

That was a different me, a less able set of eyes.

I was looking through my catalogs of photographs, seeking today’s photo. When I saw this, I was amazed at the simple beauty of this farm landscape at sunset. I then searched to see if I had posted it, and was really surprised that I had not.

It’s from a short trip that Karen & I took to Pike county, to see if we could find an eagle’s nest which I’d been tipped to by a friend. We found the nest, and grabbed some photos of the magnificent bald eagles there, and were heading home. On the way, the sunset was spectacular. I stopped several times to pull over and capture some frames of that wonderful play of light on the clouds and landscape.

This one was taken with my Panasonic LX3. It’s a mighty fine optical instrument. I prize it as much as my DSLRs, and it’s pocketable!

Best viewed large.

I consider myself very fortunate to have this in my collection. Such a display of clouds and sky, with the pond reflecting the colors of sunset, and the trees and land as a fitting frame.

Change happens in time.

I’ve changed so much since I took this over a year ago. Something changed, that I see this in a new way, and value it more than I did.

I love revisiting my catalog of photographs. There’s something new to see each time I dip into the archives, and much of that newness is a reflection of who I am now compared to who I was then. Think of the freshness that I’ll bring two years hence!

Here’s to you, and to me. Our journey continues.
