Our Second Photo Field Trip

I really love fall. So it was with great excitement that I got an email of a Fall photo field trip. This is a part 1 of sorts. I loved the reflective water to help create some interesting pictures...
I seemed to start "the latest fold" in my exploring the world sculpted around me, by taking pictures of the sky. So, when I saw this "unique reflection of the sky" I had to take it.

I liked the abstractness of these views...


...and then there are pictures of paths. My Dad, & a very good spiritual friend, got me into enjoying taking walks [or hikes] in the woods. So much so that I enjoy going alone, notebook with me, & just slowing down. I remove my watch, [& anything else that will tell me the time] & just go into the woods... lose myself ...inside God's canvas. It has become for me, a monastery of sorts. I can feel the woods fold in on me, swallowing me whole.
Healing can begin in these times for me...
An "untying of the knots" as it were...

feeble attempts at macro

Here are a few of my feeble attempts at Macro photography. I am really fascinated by this kind of photography. However I do not have a camera that really can do this very well. Above is from a railroad bridge at the cabin.
These berries are from just outside my front door. I didn't plant this thing, my sister-in-law Marrianne [ we just call her "Mare"] did. The berries keep changing colors [they are now a deep, dark purple].
This leaf is from our first photo field trip...
This one is from last Sat.
Hopefully my late night posts will be ending soon...
