Owl Canyon Study I 6.5.15
I think this treasured feather from Owl Canyon has magical properties.

No mountains, canyons, vistas or waterfalls today but instead the wonderful artistry of the women of the weaving cooperative in the village of Chinchero in the Sacred Valley of Peru where we visited on our trekking adventure to Machu Picchu in the summer of 2013.
In response to Krista’s question for this week’s Photo Challenge:
“What does the word “intricate” mean to you?”
Shannon Falls 3/5/15
Returning from Whistler to Vancouver today we stopped at Shannon Falls Provincial Park where the cascading water of the Falls roared and sparkled in the glorious Sunday sunshine.
Tomorrow it’s back into the studio, with so many ideas and images from the past two weeks of our travels to inspire me. I hope you’ll keep on popping by as Studio 365 continues.
Whistler Mountain, British Columbia 1.5.15
It really is a whole other world up there all year round
The wonderful drama of this evening’s sky.
Anemones 30.4.15
Anemones Variation 30.4.15
Studio 365 is mobile once again this weekend in the mountains of Whistler/Blackcombe in Beautiful British Columbia. Before we left home I photographed yesterday’s anemones that had opened this morning, together with a Warholesque photo-edited variation.
The Treasured Feather
I suspect those of you who have been following our travels for the past ten days will not be surprised to see that this feather from a Great Horned Owl, the treasure of our journey, is today’s featured image now that we are back home. Our visit to Owl Canyon where we saw the owls sitting high above looking down at us from the red rock, was one of the most memorable moments of the trip.
For those of you visiting thechangingpalette for the first time I invite you to see more images from that remarkable day, and for my fellow travellers take another look and enjoy this most special of places once again: http://wp.me/p3gSod-26w
I think this image also speaks to this week’s Photo Challenge: Motion. I hope you agree
So here we are home again after ten memorable days filled with sights and sounds that had all of our senses tingling with excitement and anticipation each day. The studio is as I left it as you can see, except for two treasured additions to the picture. Can you spot them?
For Day 117 I thought I would post a few of our favorite moments from the trip, and yours I might add, to enjoy one more time and reflect on how fortunate and privileged we have felt, particularly at a time when others across the world are struggling to cope with so much devastation around them. We live in such a beautiful and yet often so cruel a natural world.
Thanks for joining us on our journey, which I hope you have all enjoyed vicariously, as much as we have enjoyed sharing it with you each day.
