A WINTER MORNING IN THE EAGLE VALLEY -
I've found inspiration to feed my photography addiction difficult to find over the last few months of grey/white days here in the Valley. There are lots of skiing shots out there but somehow these shots have a "been there, done that" feeling for me....not that it's not great to be up doing a few turns, It's just that I've photographed and seen photographed just about every imaginable iteration of the wonderful sport of skiing. This is not something that gets the juices flowing.
So, it was with true grit and determination that I found myself striking out in the (very) early morning last Saturday and navigating to Gypsum Ponds, a local wildlife sancutary that's full of all kinds of exotic waterfowl in the warmer times but not much in the middle of February. I didn't know what I'd find there but I was desperate. In truth, I found nothing not frozen over. But just as I was about to leave, the sun popped over the ridge to the east and bored it's way through the heavy fog. This is what I got. Now I am inspired again.
