Savor Fleeting Serenity: #VisitLakeCharles Photo of the Month
One thing is clear about 2017: it's in turbo mode. Where has the year gone? We're already planning summer vacations (or enjoying them), and before long, kids will be back in school as we prepare gumbo pots and Christmas garlands.
Each month, I share a message of reflection to refocus your daily intentions and cherish the present. Right now, I'd love to hit pause—or at least slow motion!
May's Photo of the Month captures a timeless moment worth freezing and revisiting. This serene image and location evoke profound peace. Photographer Ryan Beeson nailed the timing perfectly.
“Capturing a moment on film that reflects exactly what you are feeling and seeing at that time is priceless. Some photos are planned in advance and some are taken in a fleeting moment of beauty that could disappear in moments. I also believe the best photographs are the ones that alert the senses as if you can almost feel the atmosphere of the piece. This photo was an unexpected shot while on a run along Shell Beach Dr. The sun was setting over the lake and the lighting was absolutely perfect while passing one of the many boat houses. At the end of a full busy day, this was the moment of peace I stumbled upon and was able to capture. From the colors of the sky to the way that it reflects on the water, you can almost feel the warm sunshine as it sets on the lake. There is always something beautiful to see if you look hard enough!”;
