Straight Out Of The Camera

I didn't push the color on this shot; it's just as it came from the camera. The only thing I did was a 10% sharpening after downsizing. This is just one of many reasons I love the clear air and mile-high scenery of the West!

My New Home!

I've been wanting to move to Wyoming ever since the first visit. Finally found a house that fits my budget! A few curtains, a little gravel for the driveway, maybe a small bulldozer - what's not to love?

The Lure Of The Open Road

Ahhh, space!  Now I can breathe.

Desert Pillars

Stampede

The pronghorn are grazing on the lovely irrigated fields instead of the dry hills.  Aren't they beautiful?  I so want one of these critters.  Almost put a couple in the trunk when I came back from Wyoming . . .

Inclined To Graze

Lake in the Desert

Near Sheridan, Wyoming, is an unexpected lake in the red rock country.  The cows and I had it all to ourselves on a warm summer evening.

Zoom Zoom!

Last-minute crop dusting.

Who Is That Masked, Er, Horse?

The masks help keep flies off their faces.  Hate those biting flies!  I'm glad I can retreat indoors.

Illusions Of Grandeur

No, I didn't do this in Photoshop.  I love it when I'm in the right place at the right time.

Relish the summer journey. Or not.

Hi friends!  I apologize for not being present for three weeks.  And I wasn't even on vacation, sadly!  This picture shows why I'm super-demotivated to take pictures (my favorite thing) in Illinois in the summer.  Talk about a jungle out there!  Hot, humid - I could complain for hours.  Let's just say I don't fully appreciate the beauty of the area when it's hot out.  I don't appreciate it AT ALL.

Anyway, for what it's worth, I'm back.  I know you both are thrilled.

I haven't been doing nothing, though.  While enjoying the gentle melody of the air conditioner I've been editing some of my favorite photos, and have just put some on an e-commerce site called SmugMug.  Quirky name, huh?  I like quirky.  Some professional photogs sell prints of their work there, so I'm in overshadowed by good company.

The address is:   KrisLove.smugmug.com   Take a look.  Buy something. Tell all your friends.  Tell all your friends to buy something.

Meanwhile I'll get back to posting here, and feel free to leave a comment.  Even snarky ones, although, knowing my audience, I realize I don't need to encourage you in that.  And have a great summer!  :)
