your habitat

do you walk? walking's a great way to study your own personal habitat up close. whether in a city, neighborhood or country. it's a good exercise to turn off your phone and just walk and observe the details of beauty all around you. even in the city, you will find beauty here and there as you look for it.

if you are really lucky, you may catch some beautiful, transient sight that no one else might notice or see. it is there, waiting for you…at the end of a gully washer, i went for my typical walk around my neighborhood. no one was out, so i got to enjoy the beauty of these puddles and freshly fallen leaves all to myself.

by the river

south carolina is in our thoughts with all the recent rains. we've had nothing near that, but it has been raining for days. the winds and weather have been most peculiar this weekend. i ventured out to the botanical garden during a late break in the weather, to walk along the rising red river. the mind blowing beauty i saw there and was alone with felt like church. i had to stop when i saw the river rising over the bank a few feet ahead! i hurried back along the shore to higher ground, blessed by beauty.

autumn rain

the beginning of fall has been very rainy and grey here in athens. i noticed these beautiful beads of water on the leaves and knew I had to brave my camera through the rain.
