I can’t tell you how important it is that if photography interests you, you need to take your camera with you wherever you go.
We went for a walk lastnight, just around the neighborhood within a mile or so – particularly this one area where we sometimes see deer. I was hoping for a great shot of a different bird, and boy did I see and hear some that stay really well hidden in those trees. I ate some wild blackberries, and found deer tracks in the mud alongside the road.
I didn’t expect this shot, though, and this is why it’s so important to strap your camera around your neck before you head out the door.

WOW! How beautiful – and unexpected! :thumbsup:
Beautiful Leanne, really pretty. I love shots like this that are a little different and capture a wonderful mood.

I refuse to take my camera when I go biking on the road bike, just in case I get dumped by some rude motorist (be nice to bicyclists, people!), and yeah, I’ve missed some good shots. But my eye’s not nearly as good as yours. That really is a keeper you found. Wow.
It’s amazing that sunlight can make thistle beautiful!!! It’s ugly worthless thistle. Just think what God’s light can do to us!! Yes, your right it speaks to me.
How pretty!
My mom used to use thistle to make little mice. She would glue eyes onto them, and then take a couple of pieces of a pine cone for ears, and something for the tail…I can’t remember. I have no idea why we made these things, or for who, but that’s the first thing I think of!
Beautiful! Did you know right away that it was awesome or not ’till you got home?
You are so right. Even around the house, looking out the windows, there are great shots to get. I have my camera with me all the time. I see tons of great shots while driving. If I stopped for every one I would never get anywhere.

The lighting is really beautiful! :clapping:
