I have favorite spots around the country for making images.

I’ve scouted them for angle, lighting, night sky views, and overall vibe. Sometimes I look a long time before finding one that feels right.

A recent favorite spot, though, wasn’t scouted, chosen, or contemplated. It was just there, at the edge of camp. All I need do is turn my head.

Two favorite images were made right in this little slip between cattails.

One last year of my @hornbeckboats 14’ Nomad, Viking-like in stillness…

and one this year of a Great Blue Heron that came to visit at breakfast, wary but patient in posing.

Now I have the image at the top of this post, made right at the edge of camp, as a third favorite from this spot on the shore, to remind me that spots full of promise and beauty can be anywhere.

All you have to do is turn your head.

Where are your favorite spots, whether for making images or just being?
