There is nothing like enjoying the beach life while it is snowing snowing snowing back home in CO. I am in Nosara, Costa Rica for 2 weeks and loving the life, photographic opportunities and the warm air! There are beautiful flowers blooming around the house I am staying in so before heading to the beach I walked around and shot off a few frames. I was torn between this photo in color or in black and white. The flower is a bright orange with red stems and deep green leaves. But the image in black and white feels so soft and architectural. I'm still not sure but I am enjoying the black and white image for now.

Photo of the Week "Twilight"

I took this photo on a very emotional day. I felt the need to memorialize the day with a photograph. When I walked out of the house and saw the long shadows and sun rays peaking through the trees I knew this was the shot. I did some post-processing in Lightroom and Perfect Effects 4 to soften the look and enhance the colors. I am happy with the end result. It feels ethereal and captures the mood and feelings i was having at that time. This photo was taken in Austin, MN.
