Hey, SouthWest. I'm late in getting to this. My favorite of the B&W were the last two, the little boulder emerging from the shadows and the pool of water reminding me of Emerson's so called "transparent eyeball" that sees "all". My favorite image in the series however, is the second one in color. That one defines for me, your strongest photographic strength of showing as I have said before "beauty in the near distance" and asks the anticipatory question of "what is just beyond the edge of the image."? Thanks

And thanks for your thoughtful (as always) comments. Transparent eyeball! I like that and certainly would not have come up with it on my own. But then, I know what I'm photographing, so the results don't appear as abstract to me as to someone seeing them for the first time.

I like for the viewer to want to step into my photos, or most of them, so I'm pleased that you wondered what was beyond the edge of that one scene. Just so you know, that's the last easy part of that hike--the trail becomes sketchy and there's much bushwhacking beyond.
