This image was taken in December, 2014 at Bosque del Apache, NM. We were there with fellow photographers, to capture the perfect image of the Canadian White Geese and the Cranes, during their annual winter morning liftoffs and evening settling back into the water. There are hundreds of thousands of birds (or so it seems), and they blanket the swampy water there with white and gray. Taking a photograph to capture the essence of a bird is quite difficult, but it is fascinating to hear them talking and calling one another, and watching them cover the sky as they takeoff and land.

Settling into the sunset of my life, I have returned to the love of imaging that drove me as a teenager. It's been a long journey, through motherhood (3 men and 9 grandchildren), religion, computer science career, and two wonderful marriages. It has emerged into a fuller awareness of the basic love within me, a true awareness of my real self, a spiritual awakening, and a desire to splurge with color and form, through the adventure of photography and digital imaging. I wish to express and share my appreciation for the art that is the world, through the use of focused expression in a direct image of the beauty in the world to the visual poetry of abstract impressionism through digital art.
