    Deep Into Nature

    Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

    Albert Einstein

    Yesterday was a cooler day with refreshing rain and more rain is forecasted for today. It is overcast, damp, and foggy in Colorado this morning. The fog mixed with the smoke filters the sun to glow bright orange through it all. Wish I knew a good way to photograph that color but I haven’t come up with one yet. But, that’s okay because I was able to just sit and experience nature doing its thing, and just for me.

    My prayer this morning is for more of us to take a deeper look into nature which means spending time there and on a regular basis. Seems to me Albert knew what he was talking about. Leaving in a few minutes to meet a special friend for coffee and conversation. Have a great Sunday!

    Gazing at Nature

    ​”Every human being needs a contemplative practice, perhaps gazing at nature in wonder, with a camera or paint brush, taking time.” Thomas Moore

    Should be on my way today for Phoenix and taking the time to spend Thanksgiving with my parents and sisters. With all the snow I’m not sure what we will experience at the airport. Anyway, here are few images of leaves, another one of my favorite subjects to gaze at.

    After the Rain

    It was nice to see blue skies and sunshine yesterday after almost 4 days of constant rain. Found this image on my way to coffee.

    And, when the ground is soaked we also find a few mushrooms popping up.

    Strange Sounds

    Aspen Leaf
    Fallen Leaf

    As I left my condo early one morning last week I noticed the dew glistening on the grass. The next thing to catch my attention was this leaf laying on the wet grass due to its distinct color. I just had to take my camera out, squat down, take a photo and share it. And, I’m hearing this strange sound more often when I get back up after I squating. 🙁
