Meeting on the path:
But I cannot clearly know
If it was he,
Because the midnight moon
In a cloud had disappeared

photo challenges
weekly photo challenge: mundane
A light switch… Sony RX 100 III f/2.8 1/50 25.7m 800 ISO
This week Jenn (Traveling at Wits End) invites photographers to “stop and take a look at what you’re missing” and photograph something that we “pass by, but may think is too boring or average.)
weekly photo challenge: windows within windows
Jen at Traveling at wits end invites photographers who love window images to open themselves to moments of windows within windows. This moment was accompanied by a silent voice, “ah…here I am windowS within a window as well as windows within a reflection!”
lens-artists photo challenge: small is beautiful
Fallen to the ground
like those words of old –
glowing leaves ~Inko
Sony RX100 III f/4 1/50s 17.9m 400 ISO
Amy (The World is a Book) invites us to share our interpretation of “small is beautiful.” Inko’s words tells me how the small messengers of autumn’s soon arrival are beautiful gifts celebrated today as well as long, long ago.
weekly photo challenge: strength
It is by its breath
That autumn’s leaves of trees and grass
Are wasted and driven.
So they call this mountain wind
The wild one, the destroyer.
~Fun’ya no Yasuhide
Nikon D750 f/4.5 1/400s 85mm 2200 ISO
lens artists photo challenge: fences
spring peace–
a mountain monk peeks
through a fence

This week lens-artists invited us to share our favorite fence images. While the images above are not my “favorite,” the sign did bring a smile.
I had to go back a number of “blog” years to find three of my favorite fences.
lens-artists photo challenge: action
This week’s photo challenge is offered by Patti at P.A. Mood who challenges us to “freeze in action” nature, people, objects, or animals on the move. Or, she notes “halting” the movements within the sky, or on land, the playing field, or a busy street.
Here is a moment of two young boys interacting with water spouts.
Sony RX100 III f/11 1/320s 25.7m 800 ISO
weekly photo challenge: summertime
As the leaves begin their transition from green to yellows, reds, and purples it is nice to reflect upon the joys of summer.

visit Travels and Trifles to join Tina’s photo challenge: colorful
weekly photo challenge: shades of gray
Jenn’s (Traveling at Wits End) photo challenge for this week is to open our eyes to “shades of neutral grey…that we normally pass right by.”
Pass Right By
Lake Marie, Medicine Bow National Forest
lens-artists photo challenge #7: everyday moments
While on a recent camping trip, we stopped in Walden, Colorado for a bit to eat at the Moose Creek Cafe. Eating…an everyday moment…at home or on the road.
Hop on over to The World is a Book to join this weekly photo challenge.
weekly photo challenge: moving water
Every time
These thoughts emerge at
Izumi River,
Awaiting the moon;
There was one who crossed before…
