Bend of the River ~ Pure Vision Studios ~ Teri Lee Niedrich ~ Sun Valley Idaho
Winter days are the best time to edit. Hot cup of coffee, wrap up in a sweater, turn up the tunes. My office becomes a welcome cave. My own little universe. My dog hates it. He can't understand why I don't want to go outside. He doesn't understand that I don't do 19 degrees unless I am snowboarding.
Winter days are also a good time for reflection. The New Year forces me to pause and look back. I am editing the photos from one of the most beautiful fall seasons that I have ever seen here in the Wood River Valley. I am thankful and happy to, in the midst of a colorless winter, look back and relish the brilliant colors of fall. Arguably one of my top four favorite seasons.
Canadian Geese on Golden Sun Valley Pond ~ Pure Vision Studios ~ Teri Lee Niedrich
This is a great location to photograph all year round but especially when the golden trees are reflecting in the pond.
So many times the best places to shoot are in your own back yard. No doubt when I am traveling outside my comfort zone, the sheer excitement of a new location gives me the extra edge of enthusiasm. In any new location, though, it takes time to learn the "golden hours" and light patterns.
I had been thinking about shooting in this location for a few weeks and when the first bit of snow graced Baldy surrounded by the golden trees....well foget about it...I was out the door and headed down the road before I was really conscious.

I love this valley. 30 years and I am still awestruck. I hope that you enjoyed reflecting on the fall with me. Next up an amazing location in magical Thousand Springs State Park.
