autumn, Lions Head, moon

autumn, clouds, Lions Head

This was yesterday morning in which two of my favorite subjects offered an image I could not ignore! I woke at sunrise and grabbed tripod and camera and hit the deck barefoot. The temperature was 49 degrees F, but I didn’t notice my cold feet until I’d spent 25 min. watching and photographing the moon setting alongside lions head. I love the way the shadow of the mountains behind me slip away to reveal the a radiant lion as the sun rises.

Some people say they can’t see the lion in this over 9,000 ft rock outcrop, but I know he’s there for he motivates me to get out of my warm bed and photograph. The lion performs well with clouds and fog, snow and trees, and early light. I adore him with the moon. Some people do morning yoga salutations to the sun, but my morning salutations often point to the lion on my western horizon.

In the sky last week: a bright wave above the treetops.

I loved the tiny, thin line of cloud stretched out beside lions head. Named it, “lions breath”.

I can’t get away from the moon.

I’ve got the moon in my head. I listened to an old song with a line about the moon and the line played over and again in my mind for a week. Cured the condition by listening to lots of other music, but am being careful with that song from now on. Won’t even type the title.

My new portfolio page was created with Picturesurf Gallery. I filled gallery with images I’ve been printing on fine art paper. Not all the images that I print appear in the gallery at this time, but many of the popular and/or recent ones are there.

Each day it’s a new view. 

Today I took my dog out to get a different morning view of Lions Head. But the aspens I was hoping to capture were still green and it was windy and the dog just wanted to go for a walk. Why do we always have to stop and photograph, he must wonder.

The image below shows this morning’s view from lions foot in the creek valley.
