About exhibition:

This collection of images captures the spirit of exploration, inviting photographers to share the emotions, stories, and moments that have shaped their journeys. Whether venturing to far-off destinations or discovering the hidden gems within their own communities, each photograph reflects the unique perspectives that arise from immersing ourselves in new environments and cultures. As we wind down the year, we celebrate the adventures that define us and invite you to relive the essence of travel through this inspiring visual experience.

I was blessed to have two images selected for this online exhibition, Beach Life and Watercolor Tree.

Beach Life- digital infrared photography

Life is like an Ocean or in this case a Great Lake; sometimes it can be calm, rough waves, gorgeous blue waters, or jet black with white caps but at the end of the day it is always beautiful.   Simple views like this help me recharge my soul, releasing the creativity like endorphins after a workout so I can share my visual art to the world.

Watercolor Tree- I phone fine art photography

Steamy Monday morning here in Cabin Country Minnesota.  At first glance, this looks dreary, but find the peace this dew-covered window gives.  Mother Nature grabs my attention again and gives me something to see that I haven’t paid attention to in the past.  I give thanks for simple blessings like this image, I find beauty in the storm; I find my inner peace.

The great news just keeps pouring in!  I have two more works accepted into the Cabin Art show just minutes from my home! 

Accepted works:

End of Day

Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully by Kristen Butler- Go out and be one with Mother Nature; allow her to show you we are all one with the universe.  So, fill your heart with beautiful images that keep your Soul’s light shining bright!  End of Day reminds me of a symphony, where all participants flow in harmony and my camera is the composer- one of the best gifts given to me from nature.

This year’s photograph Hint of Gold is framed in my Commando Photozaic.

Hint of Gold:

Robert Frost wrote this perfectly:  Nothing Gold Can Stay.  Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.  Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then the leaf subsides to leaf So Eden Sank to grief, so dawn goes down today.  Nothing gold can Stay.  This view recharges my soul, I love sitting on my parent’s shoreline watching the sunsets and June didn’t disappoint. There’s no better way to reflect on a beautiful day than watching the sunset, knowing tomorrow is going to be just as amazing.  I enjoy my time spent with Mom especially after Dad passed away a few years back.  It’s funny how life’s perspectives change after you lose a parent.  I know that someday my time witnessing these beautiful sunsets on my parent’s shoreline will end but they will forever be locked inside my heart.

I’m including just the image and framed version.

Training Day

An image is of a man and his best girl named Summit.  This was her first time jumping off the pontoon to retrieve her favorite toy and my cousin, Tim wouldn’t allow her to swim on her own until she was ready! So, he jumped in grabbed the other end of the toy and they both Doggie paddled to the boat.
