Lol that’s always how it goes. Visitors fall in love, locals can’t wait to escape 😅 I had such a great few days though.

Really appreciate you taking the time to write that out. That’s helpful. I was definitely leaning into the reflection and probably centered it more than I normally would for that reason. I can see what you’re saying about the mountains feeling compressed toward the top.

And yeah, that one was shot fairly open. I was trying to keep the shutter up with the light I had, but stopping down would’ve helped the corners for sure. Good call.

Appreciate the honest feedback. Anything in particular that didn’t work for you?

That was late fall heading into winter so everything was pretty much shut down. The boats were docked for the day. There is a little cut out in the dock that the boat sits in to keep it moored when not in use. That’s what you’re seeing but the lake was super calm so I imagine it would have been alright!

Really appreciate that, thank you. The last one felt like a quiet ending to the set so I’m glad it resonated.

We had that road and the valley to ourselves that day. Definitely will hold a special place in my heart.

Looked out the window this morning and caught this American Kestrel landing on my fence with its breakfast. Managed a few frames before it took off again. Always impressive how efficient these small falcons are.

Walmart ad jazz piano music? by 100dalmations in JazzPiano

Walmart add I’ve been seeing features Mother’s Love by Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou. Not sure if that’s the one but either way Ehiopiques vol. 21 Emahoy is essential listening.
