    Back Home

    Fallen Leaves
    Fallen Leaves

    It’s good to be back home. I left on Saturday morning from Surprise, AZ and drove to Las Vegas, NM. It was a longer day so my drive on Sunday was shorter. I woke early and left early which allowed me to arrive about 12:30 pm.  The drive north is almost a constant climb in elevation, even going over a couple of passes. The elevation change allowed for a scenic drive as I saw the colors changing as I moved through different elevations.

    I missed the slow gradual changing of colors and the dropping of leaves here at home. Many of the trees have lost leaves or are at the end of the color changing, leaving brown leaves awaiting the next wind to blow them off. But, if you’ve followed me you will know I love leaves as does fellow photographer Mark Graf. I found these while on me walk over to the coffee shop. Nature has a way of creating an infinite number of patterns and colors. I love it.

    “The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand.”

    Rumi

    The biggest percentage of my images from October have been leaves. Evidence I’ve been walking with my head down.  But they are the images I’ve enjoyed the most.

    Autumn Colors

    On my walk for coffee I stooped down on my knees to shoot this image but I ended up just staying there as I studied the patterns and colors nature was creating. While I watched the wind would rustle and move the leaves changing the pattern. The light changed as clouds moved above, casting a different light. The scene also changed as more leaves would fall and add to the scene. I was only there for a few minutes but it helped kick start my day.

    Full of Questions

    October 16, 2015

    “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.” Voltaire

    The older I get the  fewer answers I know and the more questions I ask. So, here’s a question: What if we seek wisdom and knowledge rather than seeking answers? Is there a difference? It seems pride arises in those who claim to have an answer(s). And, pride will cause us to stop seeking more questions (since we already have the answers). Then, with fewer questions asked will there be less wisdom and knowledge, only answers? And, two may ask the same question but two may not necessarily find the same answer. Is that true of wisdom and knowledge? I’m full of questions. 🙂
