Hello! My name is Jodie. I live in Minnesota where the temps can fluxuate by 20 degrees in one day. Most of my photos have been taken very close to my home, a 10 acre hobby farm., where I raise Alpacas and chickens. I am a band director, a musician/singer and a photographer/adviser on the yearbook committee. My camera of choice is a Nikon. I have a D90 and a D70. I also have a SB800 flash and favorite lens is Nikon 18-200mm AF-S, with VR. Revisiting the visual arts is something I should have done years ago. If I see something remarkable, I just try to capture it. Nobody else will ever see it quite that way again so I hope you try that, too. This is just like expensive therapy for us.  Thank you for visiting and may you have a peaceful day!Â

Very nice work to get in a good spot to avoid that sun directly in the lens! This turned out great! Nice work!!!

Your sleeplessness seems to have purpose. Look at this marvelous sight that was meant just for you to see and photograph. Alarmingly over the top mood of grace and peace and goodwill.

Enlightening ... to say the least. :o)

Very impressive light and mood. Beautiful work Jodie! I was the same way once - up early because I was wound up and could not sleep. Nowadays my pattern has changed so I do not seem to want to get out of bed to catch amazing things like this. Well done. With something bad (not being able to sleep) comes something truly great... It (the sleeplessness) will probably pass in time)

Thanks for that, Fred. I'm sure you're right.

What a lovely title...and your words... they go so beautifully with your image. Very moving, Jodie. I got such a sense of serenity from this. -M :^)

Excellent capture and mood-set. This is definitely the only benefit of not being able to sleep, getting amazing shots like this. Nice work.

A magical effect and fantastic silhouetting displayed in this superlative capture, Jodie! Hey, whether sunshine, clouds, drizzle, fog or mist, I'm up very early every morning in preparation for miles of brisk walking, interrupted only when I stop and take photos of anything and everything, dead or alive.

Stunning shot, everything misty and magical and touched with gold...worth getting up for!

Loaded with atmosphere Jodie, the rays captured very well. I wish you well and by the time the sun is up in full, it chased the sleeplessness away.

There is always something magical about early morning light and photography. Very nice. ;-)

a beautiful almost autumnal shot, filled with mystery and hidden light. Light always pours through your work, it always transforms everything. The silhouetted trees and leaves are all transformed by the light, w/ golden outlines around them, changed and quietly lifted. And the background trees & bushes—some of them seem on fire! Is it fair to say it's a portrait of the heart as well as of the land? I think so, and it's truly beautiful.
