The Kolden Report: Color Therapy, part five.

Hello, kids!

Sunset always brings about emotion...primal and pure.

Fire brings emotion of its own...gladness for the warmth and light.

Progression - from fire light to starlight. ( I have a new camera and lens and was very surprised to see the circular stars in the Big Dipper!)

New day. 

Seeds of change.

Neck warmer.





Busy place.

Natural wonder.





Suspended animation.



Recovery.  (This stem of clover had been torn off and regrew in a profuse manner!)









Overhead greeting.

Foot bath.

Up next:  Final installment.

The Kolden Report: Color Therapy - Fine Feathered Friends.

Hello, kids!

Before I get back to the report, I want to  wish my best friend  a joyous birthday today! 

 Here's to many more adventure filled years with you....laughing as we bump along prairie trails or canoe clean waters, wide eyed with wonder gazing at the starry night sky,  snuggled deep under the covers sharing blissful sweet sleep.

 I owe you a debt of gratitude for helping me to become the person I am today and I value our precious, fleeting time together.  Happy Birthday, Jim.....I love you much!

Now, back to Fort Peck Lake....



Lean-to.

Kickin'-back.

Dazzled.

Irregularity.

On angels wings...

Yes.  I can find beauty in moss.  Moss...which houses frog eggs.  Lime green, silken moss, hanging thick from a fallen log. 

Birds "of a feather".

Window dressing.

Less is more.

Point of origin.

Edgy.






Life lines.

Sinking sun.





Lake tide.





Submergence.

The Kolden Report: Color Therapy, part three - prairie treasure.

Hello, kids!

You never know what you'll find on the prairie.

But sit and rest a spell when you're able.

Perched.

Simplicity.

Wildflower bliss.

If they could talk...

Creative casting.

Decorative details.  

Accidental art.

Textural contrast.







Dragon fly parking place, II.

Barbule beauty.

Mesmerizing moss.  (Watching it float and sway is like meditation!)

Heavenly Hooklets.  (Did an angel pass this way?  This is how I imagine their soft wings.)

It's what's for dinner.

Or a soft place to land.

I love the black sand...

More to come...

The Kolden Report: Color Therapy, part two.

Hello, kids!



We nestled in for the night at Bear Creek and had the place to ourselves, per usual.  Evening came softly upon us.

Obstacle.

Molten gold.





Peaceful shores.

Soul candy.

Face of the dam.




Big dipper.

Daybreak.

Submerged.

I only use a tripod for night shooting. We left our set up just as it was when we tucked in for the night.  Yes, those removable Suzuki seats (once mounted in a minivan) are as comfy as they look! 





Ever notice the spider webs when walking through flora?  I felt badly, tearing it from its point of attachment!!





Tattered.



I love everything about this feather!

I've always wondered about these bugs are that fly about like mosquitoes but never bite. 

Separation.

Coulee color.





The prairie is littered with these underground entrances.

Up next:  Pattern and texture.
