It's been a long day, I've already driven 800 kms, the sun is out and the air is cool. I take a quick look outside and I know I can't let this day pass without a taking a photo. I pack my camera bag, check all my filters and lenses for dust and off I go again. "There was patch of bushes I saw on the drive home that had some great red and yellow color in them, maybe I'll try to go there, there should be some light on Roche Miette as the sun sets." Thirty minutes later I'm standing in a swamp off the highway, away from the sounds of the cars and trucks. Just as the sun dips below the mountains I enjoy the last warm rays of light. The air quickly turns cool, the smell of Autumn is everywhere now, I shoot a few images then change spots. The light is quickly racing up the mountain face now, I had better work fast, but don't rush. I'm not just out here to make pictures, I'm experiencing the world, nature at it's finest hour. The picture will just serve to help my memory down the road. It's days like today that I realize why I love shooting pictures, experiencing nature's finest moments, then presenting them for others to view. The light is fading away now. I walk back to the van, plug in the iPod and make the quick drive back home. "I wonder what nature has in store for me for tomorrow?"
