Photography is the story I fail to put into words.

It's really amazing how much life has changed in the last month. This time last month, everything was pretty normal for us still. COVID-19 was on the horizon, but we weren't in quarantine yet--school was still in session; everyone was crazy stocking up on toilet paper, water, flour and canned goods; we were still allowed to go to parks and stores. But everything is the complete opposite now. School is all online, parks are closed, stores are still open but limiting the number of people inside at one time as well as limiting purchases on sought-after items. I even found mounds of TP and water the last time I braved going in! I live in a pretty wide-open area. The country. It's a great place to live right now because I can get out any time I want to! But, we do get kind of bored of not going anywhere else. Luckily, the state parks in Utah are open to residents of that county, and thankfully we have a state park in our county. It's a nice little bay off of the Great Salt Lake, full of fresh water. We decided to open up our trailer and spend the last night of our spring break (at home) going somewhere besides our yard. And boy, was it nice! With it being prime bird migration season right now, I had so much fun watching them in their habitat. I also used my long telephoto to get some pretty images of the budding spring foliage, and tried some horizontal panning. It was a short trip--too short in my opinion, but it was just the slice of serenity that I needed. Now I need to get back to real life! Er, I mean the new real life!
How is the quarantine treating you? The Serenity Project is a monthly blog circle with some of my photographer friends. Please click go to visit my friend Eileen Critchley, Ohio photographer to find more serenity online. Ya know, because you can't go anywhere anyway!
Beautiful images of peace and calm. Love the panning image too. It's good you have the great outdoors on your doorstep and can still visit a park. Comments are closed.
