Last week's hot air balloon ride was a lifetime dream come true. The balloon had landed in a field on a hillside. They were getting ready to pack the balloon, when I looked up to see this amazing rainbow cloud. There was no rain--only the sunshine and a thin embossing of cloud. And the rainbow--it seemed to shimmer. A perfect ending to an incredibly magical morning.

Fills My Eyes
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. -- E. M. Forster
Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.

Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

About Me
I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain

Hello Beth. Your photo reminds me of the inside of a volcano... a rainbow volcano, no less.
It's almost surreal! Very pretty shot Beth.
Beautiful :)
