Gold River - Rachel

I love water. The way it plays with light and color, the way it feels, the sense of washing away things unwanted and refreshing life. Its rushing pounding power, and its gentle meandering refrain. Filling, spilling, washing, fascinating... I'm always trying to capture the essence of this magical elixer.

Dancing on Water - Rachel

Today was too beautiful of a day to stay inside, and so I let nature decide what I would photograph. The kids and I went for a bike ride - almost 9 miles - and along the bay I was awestruck by the sunlight dancing on the water. Thankfully, my kids are used to my "delays of game" when I see something I want to see... I'm not 100% happy with the image I captured, I played with B&W, I thought about adjusting contrast, but in the end I just like it for what it is and here it is.
