The rivers have been beautiful in the Roaring Fork Valley this winter. We’ve had unusual and dramatic ice building up along the sides of the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork rivers that make it look as though only slivers of water are snaking through the riverbed. We've also had exciting ice jams break loose all at once sending huge sheets of ice crashing down the valley.

Each day as I pass over the bridge near my home, I look forward to what the Roaring Fork River has in store for me. As temperatures warm, the clutches of winter are loosening and the water is showing signs that spring is around the corner. River’s Edge, one of my new macro abstract photographs, is inspired by this transition of seasons.





Metal is fascinating to photograph.  If the light is flat, it can look calm and soothing like Sweetwater Grass.



Bright light, on the other hand, can bring out colors in metal that surprise you as they did with Titania’s Light. 



I began the year photographing metal fragments and always enjoy the discovery process. Please take a look at Sacred Ground and The Deep End on my website for more perspectives on metal.
 
I hope you enjoy the coming of spring and all the beauty that accompanies the change of seasons in our valley.
