Things Unseen

                                                
                                            
Walk in the Land of the Living

                                                    
                                                     
For you have delivered my soul from death,
   my eyes from tears,
   my feet from stumbling.
I walk before the Lord
   in the land of the living.

--Psalm 116:8-9

Overcast Sunrise, Iowa

                                            
                                                 
I took this photo many years ago--mid- to late-70s--with my first SLR camera, a Pentax with 50mm prime lens, on Kodak Ektachrome slide film. I was in a boat with either my father or older brother and I'm pretty sure we were on Coralville Reservoir near Iowa City, Iowa. We were bass fishing, probably at a bass fishing tournament.

This is still one of my all-time favorite photographs.

   As Far As She Could Go                                         

                                     
                                          
Walk this path
with me he said
and she did...

as far as she could go.

Acid-Yellow Sponge

                                                 
                                               
Sponges come in an incredible array of shapes, sizes and colors. They are animals and feed by filtering seawater through their pores. They attach to rock, coral and anything on the bottom that stays still long enough. This is one I think of as beautiful in its gnarly, warty, acid-yellow ugliness!
