““Keep some room in your heart for the Unimaginable.”

An image from an afternoon walk at Reservoir Ridge Natural Area. I like the details in this image because I relied on a tripod rather than my image stabilized lenses. After, carrying the tripod over my shoulders for awhile I remembered why I normally leave it in the car. Also, this was not a planned image but one I accidently framed. Another image given to me, with details. Unimaginable.
I hadn’t visited this natural area in a few days. Loved that the grass was still tall along the trail and the grass they cut and bayled has begun to grow back and turn green again. I was surrounded by dragonflies and grasshoppers along the trail.

Yes, the tripod can be like carrying a boat anchor! What I like most, besides the obvious stability, is that it forces us to slow down and, as a compositional tool, allows us to make a more thoughtful and accurate photograph. This is an excellent example, even if it was accidental! It looks like a very young sunflower, hopefully I’m close. 😉

I relate to the boat anchor. You are correct because it does require, or at least offer, us to slow down. I believe this photo arrived because I was slowed down.

You know I love this, the small details are jam, so to speak. 🙂
