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?

    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.

    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:)

    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.

    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.
