Photograph Day 2

So there a bit of tragic news the other day. A little boy from my congregation died, tragic doesn't describe... not even close. I decided to go to the park and take some photos instead of thinking on the whole thing. He died Saturday, I went to the park on Sunday. No self harm on Sunday's, its a rule. Photos? A walk? Absolutely! So here we go again...

 Autumn Red. I love autumn, its my favourite season and far too short, but the colours are amaing.

 Gazebo at the top of the hill in the park. Lovely views and good place for a bit of quiet reflection.

 Paths that can lead anywhere and nowhere at all.

 Black and white angle experiment. I'm holding the camera against the tree's trunk and looking up. 

 Sun through the changing leaves.

 Another angle experiment. The camera is about an inch off the ground.

Asters, like mums, bloom late in the summer and into the autumn. The flowers will remain until the first hard frost.

Photograph Day

So lately, I've been getting into photography, borrowing my father's digital camera, because lord knows he never uses it. Last weekend, a group of friends and I went into the mountains and took pictures, went on a walk. I don't do well, I suppose, but I do enjoy it. Seeing things in a slightly different way, seeking for inspiration and beauty in strange places. So here we go...

 Kate, she photographs beautifully in black and white, but then most people do. Its very forgiving as a filter.

 Kate and I, she's on the right. So I'm chubby, oh well.>>
