Recent Shots

I walk with Jazz, or let him run beside my bicycle as I get in some prayer, and stimulate the mind with attempts at capturing moments of the world around me.

These were shot with the 40D and the EF-S 60 F2.8.

In His Grip,

Waves on a Sandbar

A large sandbar forms at lowest tide in the Imazu River. I shot this from the bridge over the river, yesterday morning, 9/14/2007.

Gray Heron (ardea cinerea)

I have taken many pictures of this interesting bird over the last couple of years. These picts are recent ones, of what looks like a very young bird.

All were shot with my 40D and EF 135 F2L w/1.4X II TC.

Please click to see each picture in it's large view.

Gripped,

How Wonderful!

It was actually nice and cool when I woke up this morning. So Jazz and I went for a bike ride, and I actually didn't sweat for the first time in a very long time. And while the clouds hid the spectacular sunrise from us, the gray sky over the river and the gray, misty island in the distance made me pause and give thanks for the wonders of His creation. Yes, even His grays are beautiful!

One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.

Psalm 145:4-6 NIV

Hopefully, some morning soon, I'll catch that sun coming up from behind that isle, as it only does about this time each year.

Until then, here are a few shots of some other bits of His creation, taken during the last week.
