Whirling with Abandon

Huckleberry Trail, Blacksburg- VA- Jan 21, 2011
A cold winter wind blew thoughtlessly down the sunny path; forcing a tattered brown leaf to  let go of her branch. And in a moment of light filled bliss, the leaf whirled and flitted with the abandon of  a 5 year old girl wearing a bejeweled and gossamer dress. 




So ok - I am thinking things may be a bit redundant here.  My daily walk, seemingly has become my muse for finding words. So what is a photographer to do?   This image and many of my more recent images have become a visual for the words in my head. It is quite backwards- and I am completely undisturbed by this change. I guess that is a good thing. Maybe I can get back to being just a photographer after I am done with my A River of Stones challenge- but I doubt it. Thanks to everyone for keeping me company during this challenge- only 9 more days to go.

Oh and yes I did play with my blog design- what do you think?

  1. Wonderful shot...I noticed your new blog look right away...new slide show and all. Looks great as well as the last few shots that for some reason? I missed...especially the bird in the tree silhouette...wow.

  2. I think your true artist will always come through, whether it's pictures or words first. I applaud people who play with their blog design ~ I hope you always keep the slideshow:)

  3. I've enjoyed the results of your daily walks, The words and pictures have fit together so perfectly that I don't think it matters which came first.
    I like your new blog look.

  4. I really enjoy reading your blog and I think the new design is awesome. I, like you, find that the photography is the impetus for the words although occasionally it is the other way round. I try to let things happen spontaneously as it works better that way and I think it's marvellous that you can use both words and photography in your life.
