Reflections

Lately I have been in a reflective kind of mood. I have been looking through tubs of old photos thinking that I need to scan them all and then preserve the originals so that future generations can enjoy them also but I find myself getting lost in the nostalgia of it all! I love the walk down memory lane that each photo invokes in my brain. There are lots of laughs and a few tears that come to the surface as I remember the good times and the sad.

Today's photos were taken during the cemetery shoot that I did earlier in the week. I love nature and I am really ready for a change of season because that means new things to photograph. I love the top two photos for different reasons. Photo one is all about the colors to me from the eroding sand to the blue sky reflecting in the stream. Photo two is all about the reflection of the trees and the clouds in the water and how the merge to make the perfect nature shot. Then there is photo three, in which the river rocks symbolize us as people and the water symbolizes life rushing around us, changing us slowly with each ripple and swirl!

I hope to take these same shots later in the spring when the colors and the landscape will be yet again be different as is our ever changing lives. My advice for today is: Live in the moment and never forget to love today while embracing the hope of tomorrow! (Yes you can quote me on that!)
