Sky On Fire When a scene like this is presents itself to you, it's kind of like the spotlight switching on and the director barking "Action!!". You're on. You're in the zone. Maybe a little nervous about hitting your mark, saying your lines right. Which is kinda silly, since a scene like this has nothing to do with you. All you can really do is be in awe. And do your best to be in service of such a moment so that maybe someone who wasn't even there can understand why you were left completely speechless. The sky was indeed on fire that night.

Amber By NightUtah Lake, Utah Utah Lake is a different world at night. The lights of the cities around it create their own atmospheric glow. Birds of the night call out to each other (party animals!). Unseen water critters slish and plonk around in the drink a little too close to where I was sitting for my overly imaginative personal comfort. And yet... it was so peaceful, so "Aaahhhhh." ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)

Where Past, Present & Future All Meet She took a long, slow breath in... then exhaled and opened her eyes. The sight before her was a tapestry of life. An intricate weaving where past, present & future all meet and become one with its original design. As it was intended before the design had been broken. Completion... and protection. A perfect Peace. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
Where the Gingerbread People Live Everyday on her way to school, she walked by where the gingerbread people lived. And everyday she wondered what it would to be like to be warm, golden and freshly baked from the oven, loved by all. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
The Light Prevailed She smiled, even as tears streaked her face. She could hear the sunset colors singing softly in her head... soothing. Bathing her in warmth and comfort. She drew a deep breath. Endings and new beginnings. Quite a tag team. The brilliant performance they gave in the heavens said it all. And the light prevailed. Once again. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
Stately Mr. Heron Truthfully, I don't know if this is a Mr. or a Mrs.. Or even a Ms. But this is a Great Blue Heron that lives up to its name. Sadly, I think he wasn't feeling well. He flew away after I took this shot and we never saw him (or her) again. This is my homage to your beauty, Mr. or Mrs. Great Blue. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
It's a Western Thing Living in the Sierras, everything here is kind of Ponderosa-y. You half expect Ben and the boys to come riding up for a visit on their way to Virginia City. Ha! And even though the original colors in this shot were really gorgeous blues and greens... I got the urge to go all old postcard on it. I think it's trippy to see how a "today's world" shot lends itself so seamlessly to a window into "back then." And I do love the old West. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)
Convict Lake My first visit there. I love that feeling of the first time... your heart quickens, your eyes get all sharp and darty at the new sights, even my stomach jumps around a little at the excitement of NEW. I'm big on the story too - and I love hearing them about the places I visit. Convict Lake was named after an incident in 1871, where a group 'o thugs, er, 'convicts' escaped from prison in Carson City. That's 200 miles away. So a buncha lawmen, er, a 'posse' chased those buggers all the way down here, where they had a shootout. The sheriff was killed, as was his Indian guide. They named the lake after the convicts, the mountain (Mt. Morrison) after the sheriff. Nobody named anything after the Indian guide, which strikes me as just pure ungrateful. It was a moody, weathery day... kinda fitin' with the story that goes with it. But I just went with the vibe and took this picture to share with y'all. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)

Utah Lake is a different world at night. The lights of the cities around it create their own atmospheric glow. Birds of the night call out to each other (party animals!). Unseen water critters slish and plonk around in the drink a little too close to where I was sitting for my overly imaginative personal comfort. And yet... it was so peaceful, so "Aaahhhhh."
