Shades of the Blues Brothers

Here are a few photos from a few years ago.

One of our resident rodents perched on a stump and posed for me again.

Do you get tired of shooting the same things over and over? I do, and since I am freelance, I have the luxury of shooting when, where, and what I like.
WHAT IS MIKSANG?
Miksang is a Tibetan word meaning "good eye." It represents a form of contemplative photography in which the eye is synchronized with the contemplative mind and heart. The result of this particular perception combined with photography, produces an open way of seeing the world. Miksang photography tends to bring the observer back into the original contemplation state of the author of the photo. These photos can bring one back to a purer perception of reality that is often neglected. Miksang involves nothing fancy, no special setup; only a visual capture, in the proper state of mind, of everyday's reality.

I enjoy being a member of Guru Shots, even though I don't rank very high.It is a pleasure to compete with much better photographers and now and then place near the top of my rank. This shot was #4 in my rank in a recent contest- "Unconventional Angles".
