I had started this blog as an exercise to teach myself several things. The first was how to put a blog together. The second was to learn a few things about photography. Of course life got in the way. But I did accomplish what I wanted. Now comes the time to use the blog to share thoughts and pictures. I had just been posting things in Facebook, but why not post them here? I have the space.
I started posting pictures that followed a weekly theme. The theme for the week was either suggested by someone or by circumstances. Why not continue that? It only requires two things: a camera at the ready and a theme.
We went for a walk down to the local environmental park today. After surviving a week with the flu it felt good to be outside. On the way I saw the shadows of many leaves on the pavement. It may be the first weekend of the new year, but the leaves reminded me of what was (not too long back) and what is to come soon. The tannins in the leaves left either temporary or permanent tattoos in the concrete. Nature’s art.
