Forth
From the bush
Beautiful and bright-
A butterfly!

Hakan B’s photo challenge for the week of December 2nd, is to share a photo that relaxes…This image

of a leaf pausing upon a cairn is
a moment which speaks of how to relax

Nikon D750 ISO 200 1/200s f/4.5 40mm



Discarded
This section of railroad tracks is from a small rural community in eastern Wyoming…as we wandered through this part of America, it was not uncommon to see abandoned buildings which seem to be symbolic of discarded hopes and dreams.
This image “Discarded” is submitted in response to CEO’s B@W Photo Challenge: Any Tracks or Trains

autumn wind shows itself
in a single leaf ~Junkaku*

Laszlo Moholy-Naagy’s …love of the camera was based on the fact that it demonstrated so persuasively that nothing was as it seemed. ~J.Szarkowski, Looking at Photographs

“a life of dignified otiosity” ~Thackeray


Idleness seems like a great choice for the “Pick a Word in November” challenge offered by Lost in Translation

Thus far autumn has offered us a beautiful transition with her just-right temperatures and multi-colored landscapes. In the past, it was not uncommon for her to allow winter a brief visit during the first half of November…but not this year. So this image submitted for The Girl Who Dreams Awake is of winter’s past.
