2016-04-04 Goin' For a Walk

Vickie and I went to Bellingrath for a walk.

I knew there wouldn't be much to take photos of because they're getting ready for the summer. But that really wasn't the point anyhow, I needed to walk—with my camera of course.

I decided I'd look for shapes, textures, light, and things I might not normally notice. The result is the 51 pics that just go to show that I often have blinders on when I go looking for photo ops.

There are photos of some things I haven't paid attention to, some that I looked at differently than I had before, and I few that I can't resist whenever I go. It was eye opening. Wonder if it helped that we defiantly walked from finish to start? Heh-heh-heh!

Oh yeah, great walk. Beautiful weather, good company and this morning I felt better. I might have to try another outing soon.

    I photograph this almost very time I go to the gardens. My favorite is still one I took years ago with film. This series turned out to be interesting to me.

    He told me, "Hey Mister, if you stand here they'll come right up to you." He was right.

    Took a lot of phish fotos but most didn't turn out so great. This one ain't too bad.

    It's interesting to see this "naked" without its typical dressing of flowers.

    Vickie and were almost simultaneously intrigued by the leaves stuck in the current.
