and was filled with great moments.
Life rarely presents fully finished photographs. An image evolves, often from a single strand of visual interest – a distant horizon, a moment of light, a held expression.
Sam Abell
Yesterday was one of those perfect photographic days that for me was so centering.
It started out with a photo shoot of one of my absolute favorite subjects…dogs. The energy was great, the dogs exuded canine joy, and there was even a little break in the constant rain that couldn’t have been better timed.
As the sun began to sink lower on the horizon, cirrus clouds appeared and I had another treat following my theme for the day…parhelia or sundogs.
Jumping in my Jeep I headed off to see what might develop as the hexagonal ice plates drifted high in the sky, nearly horizontal to the horizon.
As I watched, a circumzenithal arc appeared above the sundogs, lasting only for a brief moment. I shot from several different angles and in today’s shot thought that I’d throw out that you don’t always have to have a straight horizon, sometimes it’s fun to deliberately tilt the camera, Dutch tilt, more often used in cinematography.
Life is about moments and today was filled with them.
Where will you find yours this week-end?
it's (almost always) about the water... 
I’m so glad to hear that I don’t always need to have the horizon straight – often a problem for me. What a colorful sundog and even a reflection of it. Marvelous!
I’d describe this as “tilting gorgeous!” xxx
