Haven't been keeping up well with
blogging. It's one of the things that gets shoved to the back burner,
so to speak. But NaBloPoMo is coming, National Blog Post Month, which
is November. It's a take-off on NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing
Month. Folks write every single day during November to get a novel
written in 30 days! Those of us who are not fiction writers can blog
instead.
My blog posts will often include
photographs. I suspect that will not surprise anyone who knows me :)
I love to take photos and to get some nice nature shots is relaxing
and rewarding for me. To notice and record the beauty of nature, even
in ordinary moments, a single leaf or flower, a bird soaring, or the
patterns of tree leaves against the sky, is a way for me to
experience and share the joy and wonder of creation. I take other
photos too, including around our church activities.
Just yesterday I got a message on my
phone while I was driving, between errands. I stopped at a park to
make the return phone call. Didn't intend to take any pics. But as I
was pulling out of the parking lot, I noticed an alignment of
colorful trees in front of the historic old water tower. I parked
again, grabbed the camera, and got some nice shots. Then I walked
around for about 15 min or so, getting other pics of the autumn
beauty. It was relaxing and fed my soul. Some photographers who are
believers in God say that they do not “take” photographs, but
rather they “receive” them. I don't use that verbiage, but I
believe that sometimes I'm led to stop and take photos.
