I can’t say anything but magical about the redwoods. Maybe other-worldly could fit. Whatever you call it, it was beautiful.

Allow me to be a little experimental again. Last week I traveled to the Redwood forests in Northern California and of course brought along my @lensbabyusa #omnifilter to capture that magical feeling. I realize that this is hardly a picture of a giant tree. That’s what you might expect. I wanted to show you just a bit of what the forest felt like to me. I hope you like it.

Trying my hand at being artsy. I took this using the @lensbabyusa #omnifilter. It allows you to bend the light in interesting ways. This is from yesterday when I went to Smith Rock for work and took a couple of shots of scenery.

A couple of mornings ago I went to the river that is just down by my cabin. I had nothing else to do really. I was tired. Not sleepy tired. Just tired. I sat there and read. I realize now that it rejuvenated me. I needed that time.

I squandered the awe of the moment when I arrived at Smith Rock. I hadn’t prepared my mind for what I’d find. But at least this shot might awe you some. I had gone to meet a climbing crew as the photographer, but our paths did not align and I wasn’t able to get to them. I’ll get them next time.

I felt sad yesterday. Overwhelmed. The emotions overcame me. I don’t have sufficient words to put them into thoughts. But. Last night I hung out with new people and my sadness faded. I got to photograph the stars and my sadness was eased. My fingers turned into icicles but the shot turned out to be worth it. I present you with just one of those shots.
