My friend Kathy Huston takes
fantastic nature-themed photos. She started taking these types of pictures with
her i-phone when she and her family moved to the county. Taking walks through
the woods is undoubtedly more interesting than walks through suburban
neighborhoods. Eventually she got a real camera and she was off and running
trying new ways to capture her world. Her pictures just keep getting better and
better.

| Me reading That Tree by Mark Hirsch |
Mark Hirsch, creator of ThatTree used his i-phone, along with some cool phone photo apps, to take a
picture of the same burr oak tree every day for one year.
Tim and I were able
to go to a presentation he gave about the making of his photographic opus. We
were so impressed with his work, we even bought his book. I enjoy looking at
the book and envisioning how he got each picture.
Early this fall, I was
inspired by my friend Kathy’s love of finding just the right angle, light, and
presentation of her subjects in nature, along with Mark Hirsch’s use of only
his i-phone camera, when I set out on a little photo-shoot of my own.
I hope you enjoy this touch
of summer/fall in the middle of nasty ol’ winter.
Dew drops on blades of grass~ "Egg yolk" flowers from my childhood joined by a little tan fox tail~ The foliage gone makes the stem of this plant look spidery.
I switched my phone/camera to black and white and laid on the ground to get this shot. The mushroom looks like an elf house to me!~ These little white flowers almost got overlooked. They're smaller than a dime! So lush, I think the plant didn't realize it was fall!
Beautiful yet poisonous! Every hiker's nemesis: Poison Ivy!
My favorite picture, I think. The Velvet Leaf seed pod looks like a star!
Green leaf tipped in vibrant purple.~ We called these "Chinese Lanterns" when I was a kid.~ A true sign of winter's coming: The Woolly Bear caterpillar!
But now spring is just around the corner!
Until next time,
Be Good to Yourself!
