Amazing Magical Morning
OK, so it wasn't exactly a magical morning. It was actually a perfectly average late autumn morning. But, as I often do, I went out walking with my camera. I live in a rural area and the route of my morning walks is pretty much the same each day with a little variation now and then. I walk along the rows of trees in our walnut orchard to the back of our property where there is a slough and lots of vegetation - trees, berry vines, poison oak, and weeds.
Changing Seasons in Ashland
A few years ago in my pursuit of fall colored leaves, I passed through Ashland, OR. Fortunately, I decided to stop and spend the night there. And, I'm so glad I did! The fall color change was in full swing in Ashland, and especially in Lithia Park.
My gardens still managed to show off this summer!
Last winter and spring, I prepared my vegetable and flower garden plots for the upcoming growing season. Nothing too big nor fancy, but just the right size to enjoy. With all plans I still just never know what the end result may look like. As well intentioned as I am about caring for my gardens, they sometimes end up being neglected.
California’s Foggy Forest
During the hot summer days in the Central Valley of California, there is sure to be fog along the coast. Last month along the northern California coast, Sue-Meg State Park proved to attract a bit of sun, but the redwoods of the Prairie Creek area remained a foggy forest. Fog in the trees is the great separator, revealing the layers of the forest.
Still Life Found at Shaky Barn Farm Gardens
While attending a lifestyle still life photography workshop in August of 2018 in Maine, we were treated to a morning of exploration at the local flower farm, Shaky Barn Farm Gardens. Found still life opportunities met us at every turn.
