What do you see?

Nature-made water colors …

rippled reflections

I filmed this short clip of nature sounds at the Minnesota River Valley National Wildlife Refuge on a nice walk, Oct 16  around 2PM .. enjoying the Minnesota Fall.   This was my first visit to this park.   When you stop thinking, moving, and enhance your awareness to the present moment things start to become more vivid, colors, sounds… this video attempts to share that experience

Ready for a moment of enhanced awareness?  Maybe feel some magic?  Hear some sounds? See leaves falling off trees in the wind.. Filmed at the MN river valley not far from the river itself.  Look around, listen, watch … wind, trail, blowing leaves … This video might offer you a mystical minute.

A Weeping Willow’s (this tree) Reflection in the spring

On Starring Lake, Eden Prairie MN :: April 12, 2010

Taken with a Canon Rebel XSi 12.2 MP D-SLR Camera

The reflection of this weeping willow has been digitally enhanced. Only contrast was increased and brightness reduced. No other alterations (except for resizing the image from the original larger size).

Digitally editing this photo to increase contrast resulted in this stunning almost 3-D photo

enjoy,

Full moon, behind down town Minneapolis, with a frozen lake Calhoun.

Photo taken from lake Calhoun on January 28, 2010 at dusk.

The moon was not directly behind Minneapolis, with some photoshop magic I moved the moon to behind the buildings.

After a rainy day I snapped a few shots of a manhole at night with city lights being the only source of illumination
