We had a blast in Island Park, even though there was so much new snow they couldn’t get our lane plowed out. We hauled everything in on a dog sled behind the snow machines, like we did in the good old days. They got 40″ of snow on Christmas Eve and that about doubled what they previously had, so there was no real base. It was a lot of work for just a few days, but still worth seeing our little bend of the Buffalo River in winter once again. I was a bit sad though, because the light had been flat for three days, so I had no good shots and it was time to leave.
However, on the snowmobile ride out, the sun finally made an appearance for a few stunning scenic shots. Don’t you just love it when your timing is perfect? Just see if you can picture this with me…
“The sun breaks out suddenly with a thousand tiny spotlights that reach out across the landscape to meet with a breathtaking sky and everything is aligned. You just happen to be at a stunning location at the right moment. You thank heaven you have your camera so you can capture this one magnificent moment. ”
Luckily, my oldest daughter, Janel, is getting into photography, and she was with me at the rear of our little caravan. There was no one to tell us we could not stop and shoot. The rest of the family were loading things up in the parking area that was well out of view. We knew they would be a little perturbed when we caught up, bit it would be worth it. 😉 Woo-hoo!

Just click on the landscape shots, if you want to see them larger. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My gosh, that first picture looks like a painting! I’m coveting your skills. Looks like y’all had a good time! How cool that you had to snowmobile in! Very country.
okay Caryn, I had to come straight home and show John this AMAZING shot!!HO-LEE Cow. Love it. Someday I wish to be a half the artist that you are. Then I might care that my black folding chairs don’t match color scheme of my new house. You are awesome.
So did you get the name
“Go Caryn”, from riding Luna?
I found myself missing you terribly for the past week and a half. I’ve been doing TONS of designing lately, which I’ve loved because, let’s face it: experience is the best teacher. I’ve heard more times than I can count, “Make the logo bigger.” I have lauged in my head a hundred times about that song and you’re rule to make the logo bigger. You can tell your students that it’s true what they say about clients. Every word of it. Hope you’re doing ok. 🙂
Thanks for showing us this in class today. I love these pictures. I look forward to seeing them as post cards and puzzles, or whatever else was said in class today! 🙂
