The beauty of this place never ceases to amaze me. Sometimes I seem to overlook the fact that I live in one of the most stunning places in the world. Like when I wake up, look out my bedroom window and grumble about the rain clouds pouring over the mountains, but there are other moments...ahhh, those other moments...when I truly can't believe how gorgeous it is here. This morning I was on an early morning drive, reflecting over the festivities of the weekend, when I came across a herd of elk. This was about five minutes out of town, and of course the herd was so big I had to stop right in my tracks. Getting any closer would disturb them, and I know that winter is hard for the animals. So I stopped and watched. The sun was coming up over Sleeping Indian, and it was probably one of the most amazing sights I'd ever seen. If there's one thing I've learned from photography, it's to look at everything with the idea of beauty. There truly is beauty all around. City streets, forests, lakes, mountains, sidewalks, neighborhoods, everywhere. Enjoy these shots of what I saw this morning. In my mind, it's hard to really duplicate what I'm seeing and feeling, but hopefully I brought that out a little bit in these images. I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to be at that moment.
