Whenever I drive the 46 and the 41 to fresno (i get those two confused) I gaze in wonder at the amount of space that is out there. There is a majestic wonder to the open spaces found in creation.  On occasion I’ve seen rare and amazing things like lightening storms, elk and pronghorn antilope.  It has a unique beauty that really only shows its true colors at rare times like a lightening storms, warm golden summer evenings or in the greenery or spring when the flowers are out in full brillance. I also wonder if anyone lives out here? Well to answer my quagmire, Christina’s family does! They own acres upon acres of ranch and orchard land. Christina spent here childhood exploring the beautiful California plains. Jason too had an upbringing in the open spaces of the world. Jason, a firefighter, works in the Bay area, but his heart is still in a land where you can hear yourself think so he lives here and works there. Necia and I were very blessed to have spend the evening with them at the parents ranch land. I love the stillness and vastness of open spaces, they remind me how small we are and how beautiful our world is. I hope you enjoy these snap shots of our evening session.

p.s. my wife rocks as a second shooter as is evident with these next few frames
