Some of nature’s most exquisite handiwork is on a miniature scale, as anyone knows who has applied a magnifying glass to a snowflake.

Wilderness Wednesday: Fall Jewels

On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels . . .

I BELIEVE IN PINK. I BELIEVE THAT LAUGHING IS THE BEST CALORIE BURNER. I BELIEVE IN KISSING, KISSING A LOT. I BELIEVE IN BEING STRONG WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING WRONG. I BELIEVE THAT HAPPY GIRLS ARE THE PRETTIEST GIRLS. I BELIEVE THAT TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY AND I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

Happy Wednesday!

This is my post for Cee Neuner’s Fun Foto Challenge: Pink and Yellow. Since we could choose pink or yellow, or both, I chose pink, because I did yellow sunflowers a couple weeks ago! 🙂

Wilderness Wednesday: Sunflower Field

I found it completely by accident. I drove to the post office Saturday afternoon, and while I didn’t make it there in time, I discovered a beautiful field of sunflowers. The sign said “private property” so, even though, it was crawling Sunday afternoon when I went back, I stayed on the public sidewalk.

I chose my favourite 6!

Bursts of gold on lavender melting into saffron. It’s the time of day when the sky looks like it has been spray-painted by a graffiti artist.

Wilderness Wednesday: Start of Fall

To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of Fall.

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. – Nathaniel Hawthorne

A Good Day

family, memories, photography

Sometimes all we need is one memento, one photo to remind us of a good day. It doesn’t have to be spectacular. It may not make any sense to anyone else.  But still, it causes a flood of emotion and you before you know it, you catch yourself smiling.

This was a good day.  A ramble in the woods with family. The smell of the earth and trees. The warmth of one of the first warm Spring days. Target practice (and yes, I hit the target). Lots of photos. And ending it with a fresh chocolate pie from a local bakery.

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. – Aaron Siskind

Go! Have a good day! Happy Wednesday!
