Meeting Place

“Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet.” ~ Paul Klee

A couple of weekends ago, I went out to a quiet location along the Cedar River to get into the creative flow of doing my thing. The river was starting to thaw, yet there was still quite a bit of patchy ice visible. The water was reflecting the lovely blue of the sky, and the white ice helped create interesting visual lines and texture against the light brown/tan of the sandbar where I danced with the camera and moved to the sounds of nature. The place where mind, body, soul, and nature come together in cosmic rhythm is my happy place.

This image represents one of my favorite color combinations.
