Susee Sunshine: ain't this world just incredible!'s photostream  

I'm an active outdoor enthusiast who sees the world in color, contrast, lines, hues and texture and whose aim is to capture these images and share them with the world.
I go where others may not so they too may 'see'...

At the moment my images are somewhat un-retouched as I don't have anything other than the computer photo program to manipulate my images. I had Lightroom and lost the pirated copy on a laptop that died, Photoshop CS3 sits in the box yet as I'm mortified by it.... will do Lightroom again soon, I want the deep color & resolutions that others here do so well with, (like Happyhiker4!) so think not less of me for my rather 'bland' colors, I 'see' them - I just can't get there yet...

Here's what 'motivates' me:

Light

From the blackness
Bleeds the blue
White threads
Reach up, twist and weave
Spin and thicken
Becoming clouds

The sun
In its wayward walk across the heavens
Enhances the gossamer cloth
Adding its hues
Of red, vibrant orange, pink, yellow, blue
Making them soft, gentle
Or raging and angry

The stage is set
As the light show performs its magic
And woes us mere mortals
As we observe and wonder
With eyes up
And feet grounded to the earth

Mountains, majestic and languid
Partner with the spectacle
Adding their resplendence
To the expansive display
Enslaving and directing
The unruly contingency
As they dance and dart
Amid their peaks

And I, with camera in hand
Capture the ever-changing masterpiece
Hoping its representation
Is pleasing to these Gods
Of which I am not worthy
And yet chosen
I am powerless to do anything
But worship them.
