Workselected: Pine Edged Road- Commando Photozaic.

Pine Edged road matte less

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!

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.

Rock Harbor- Providencetown

Published

Today’s stop Rock Harbor and Provincetown, also I need to include late yesterday afternoon too I spent time at these two locations.  I will say this morning in Provincetown gave me the best images and met so many kind people, not just other tourists but kind store owners.  Coming from Minnesota, we don’t experience high and low tides like you all on the coast.  I love how the landscape changes due to the tides.  Today is my last day on the Cape and tomorrow I head inland for the rest of my trip.  I feel blessed that I get to have these great opportunities for travel (with CheeBah) and capture these awesome images.  Thank you to all my followers and I love reading your comments- thank you to non-followers who like my work as I post on Social Media.  If interested in collaborating with me, please DM me or email me at nmcguirestudio@gmail.com.  I’ve already received requests and love to work with other artists.  #Thursdayvibes #newengland #massachusetts #capecod #provincetown #fineartphotography #bnw_photography

Kangamangus Highway #112

Published

Yesterday’s drive along Kangamangus Highway was packed with people and not able to get the images I hoped.  I will say this area the colors were dry and not as vibrant.  I captured better shots last year but still wanted to see what else was around.  I found a few roads not far from Kangamangus Highway that I will explore later today.  As I write this post, I’m blessed to witness fog rolling down the mountain right outside my motel room. This collection of images are both color and infrared (black and white).

About Orange Watercolor:

The sunset silhouettes of the islands have been like no other I’ve seen on my travels, knowing you are in borderland country (Minnesota/Canada) when you visit the trees bouncing off the evening sky.  In my eyes each sunset is unique and unlike the previous day.  Colors from sunsets change just like the seasons.  Late summer sunsets have the deepest orange fading into twilight blue.

SMALL FORMAL PHOTOZAIC AND COMMANDO SOLD OVER THE WEEKEND. But don’t worry I reordered the commando print and will be making another one and holding off on the formal photoziacs until I receive a direct request.  Over the weekend it was unanimous, the crowd loved the commando line, and I can’t get these done quickly enough. Love problems like this one… stay tuned for new works.

White Daisies photoziac 14x16x1

Daisies are a true sign of spring:  A lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.

Sleeping Bear Beach photozaic 16x14x1

The Ashininaabek people used the Mother Bear as a landmark and tell the story about how she came to be there.  Long ago, along the Wisconsin shoreline, a mother bear and her two cubs were driven into Lake Michigan by a raging forest fire. The bears swam for many hours, but soon the cubs tired. Mother bear reached the shore first and climbed to the top of a high bluff to watch and wait for her cubs. The cubs drowned within sight of the shore. The Great Spirit created two islands to mark the spot where the cubs disappeared and then created a solitary dune to represent the eternal vigil of a mother bear.   These images reminded me of the gulf coast just minus the salty ocean air. 

I watched as morning fog kissed the landscape, slowly burning off showing Lake Michigan’s beautiful teal-blue waters.  While I was exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes, I had the story above playing around in my head; carefully documenting the landscape with both color and infrared cameras.
