Let me begin by saying, I never thought of myself as a “photographer.” What does that even mean? We all write but few of us are “writers.” When I began writing professionally I had no definition of “writer.” Then I read an article in a writing magazine that said, a writer is someone who sits down everyday and writes. That was me.
Now I find I am constantly taking photos from our foothills ridge simply because they need to be taken.
I mean how can you watch scenes like these everyday and not want to preserve them for others to see?
Since I started taking photos like this, I have posted quite a few on my Facebook page. Yes, everyone seems to love them, and a few have encouraged me to begin selling them so others can enjoy…
the views we enjoy everyday.
So here I am, launching myself into a whole new area of endeavor. I have so much to learn about lens and filters and everything else, I’ll admit that.
But life is for learning, right?

We never know the directions life may lead us in, do we? You have some fantastic scenery and if you enjoy photography, I think you will find it rewarding in spirit. Hopefully it will be rewarding to you in photography, too. There are various blog challenges involving photography – I think you will have no trouble finding them. One I participate in, Skywatch Friday (you can get the link from one of my Friday posts) has a number of participants who sell their photographs professionally. I also suggest watermarking your photos in some way to prevent them being used without permission. Good luck!

Your pictures are stunning. I use landscapes for all of my Fun Facts so I’ve seen quite a few these are great. I don’t know about photography either, but I did take some online courses at a website called Shaw Academy you might try that. You should also start using Instagram. It’s the best for images like this.
