there’s beauty & there’s beauty…

my eye catches many layers of beauty, at least in my estimations: the human form, landscapes, gardens, personalities or the creatures that inhabit nature.

I will leave the beauty of the human form to your imagination and personal tastes…. 👍

look up now and then…

don’t we spend a lot of time shuffling along life’s trail looking downward to avoid the trips, stumbles and falls? We wait for the infrequent viewpoints to stop and look at the vista. But often the beauty is about us and missed as we navigate the hazards.  

Family matter…

SwittersB & Fly Fishing and the eventual SwittersB & Exploring have been my means to share a bit of travel, outdoor explorations, fly fishing, backyard gardening coupled with photography. I thought it would be interesting to share that I have, along the way, also shared family member’s photos from their observations. Here are a few from the wife, sons, daughters and grandchildren. I think you will agree there are some very nice captures here…..

All Trout/Steelhead caught/released.

Christine Kelly Has The Eye…………

I would like to introduce a dear friend of mine, Christine Kelly of Lake Oswego, Oregon. She is an aspiring photographer, who comfortably moves between landscapes and the urban vibe. At 15 years of age, she has already done some beautiful family portraits and wants to explore macro photography as well as lifestyle (‘real life’) images. I hope to share more of Christine’s work along the way and highlight her efforts on the youth oriented Instagram PERFECTAMITY. I am certain you will approve of her efforts here.

Here are a few of Christine’s photographs…….

Valerie Millett, On the Move

  One of the most pleasing outdoor photographers is Valerie Millett. You should become familiar with her work, especially now. She is ‘on the move’ having left the confines of Arizona canyons and streams to seek Fall colors.

  Already, her work is capturing fresh new vistas. Check her out!
