Winter

Winter is my favorite time for photographing our beautiful landscape. SW Oklahoma is blessed by the WORD with an open and flat landscape that stretches to the horizon. Our sky is huge and often meets the true horizon for awesome sunrise and sunset scenes. The soft, low-angled winter sunlight creates portrait type shadows across the land. Oftentimes, our daily winds fade to a perfect calm only minutes before Christ paints the sky with some of the most amazing sunsets you'll see anywhere.

    Wonderfully Complex

    Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! Psalm 139: 14–18 (NLT)

  • A Landscape

    A Landscape

    “Once in his life a man ought to concentrate his mind upon the remembered earth. He ought to give himself up to a particular landscape in his experience; to look at it from as many angles as he can, to wonder about it, to dwell upon it. He ought to imagine that he touches it with his hands at every season and listens to the sounds that are made upon it. He ought to imagine the creatures there and all the faintest motions of the wind. He ought to recollect the glare of the moon and the colors of the dawn and dusk.” --N. Scott Momaday

    Watching the Sun Set

    "Sunset Thinking" by Marilyn Lott Do you ever watch the sunset And just sit and think about things Just you and the sky and darkness Giving your thoughts some wings Perhaps you've got some troubles And don't know what to do Or you just plain need to get away To spend a little time with you

    Here It Is

    I went to Norman. It was supposed to be. But, I wasn't there. Was it to be her? I hoped it would be. I sure wanted it to be. I tried to build. I tried to build. I tried to build. It couldn't be. It just wouldn't be. I went to Ft. Worth. It was almost there. It wanted to be. I went on a little north. It sure wasn't there. I lost it there. I lost all there. I wandered lost, there. You found me there. I'm trying to be. Is it here? If I let it be.

    Lines

    Lines say something. They define things. They curve or run straight. They are thin or thick, narrow or wide. I follow lines. I stay within the lines. Sometimes, I get out of line. I don't like to stand in lines. Some lines intersect. Some lines bisect. Some lines run parallel. Some lead this way or that. These lines tell a story.

    Pebbles

    Pebbles on the Shore ------- A lot of people see SW Oklahoma as simple, ordinary, and boring; maybe most people feel that way; I can’t say for sure. I’ve lived in SW Oklahoma my entire life. It has defined who I am more than anything or anyone other than the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God has molded and shaped me in the context of this land. In view of that, I suppose I’m simple, ordinary, and boring, too; I hold that to be a good thing. So, while many see SW Oklahoma as simple, ordinary, and boring, I see it as honest, peaceful, and beautiful. It’s my home, it fills me with joy, and I love it. ... “I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:12-13. (NLT)
