In-sight-ful


"For me photography is to place head, heart and eye 
along the same line of sight.
It is a way of life."
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I planned (in my head) to work a bit with silhouettes while I had time on vacation.
I knew (in my heart) that hummingbirds and sunflowers would be waiting for me.
Hummingbirds and sunflowers...and beautiful sunsets.
I have not been disappointed.
The evenings here in Oregon have been wonder-full.

 Even though I can't say that photography is a way of life for me...
I do know that when the desires of my head, heart and eye line up perfectly 
and the camera rewards me with an image that captures what I've envisioned...
Well, this makes me very, extremely, profoundly happy!

 Both of these images bring me joy
and will transport me right back to one of my favorite places on earth
every time I see them.

    GORGEOUS! I hung a feeder in my yard hoping to entice some hummingbirds - but nary a brave one has visited us!
