The last thing I did before leaving Fairhope, Alabama to drive north was to put my feet on the sand by Mobile Bay. Nice warm water and beach to my toes!!

Changing

I have a flower box sitting on the steps of my front porch. It was planted with pansies early in the spring this year. They have survived the hot dry summer and now in the cooler weather of fall they are again producing abundant blooms. As I walked onto the porch with my camera the other day I noticed that the three largest blooms were lined up ... so photogenic... and atypical for a pot of flowers to behave this way. They didn't stay lined up very long, so this is a 'moment' in our changing Universe.

Abundance

You can always find abundance around you, if you don't see it just turn your eyes in a different direction. Fall is a few weeks early this year, but still filled with color. One of my favorite places to find great photos are the Farmers Markets around the world. I have taken pictures in Uzbekistan, Russia, Ukraine and all around the USA at vegetable stands and markets. What I find is color, people, animals and one of the most interesting of human activities.

what is real....

One of the things that always amazed me was that nature could give you a picture of something that if you tried to make it up you just couldn't. When I painted using watercolor I usually 'made' up my landscapes and skyscapes, some of them were truly imaginative, and in the realm of seeming impossible. So now as I spend time behind the lens I take pictures and think that if I made that up it wouldn't seem possible. Just remember to keep your imagination alive and creating because Mother Nature offers you an example a minute of creativity and reality. Being Real...Light-Feather.
