I went on a walk with a non-photographer awhile back and she said, "You see beauty in things I would never stop to look at." Life flies by so fast and if we're always rushing, we miss so much. Your photos are amazingly beautiful and I think would be inspiration enough for even non-photographers to stop and smell the roses. There's so much beauty there if we just stop and look for it. It is always so much fun to go on photo walks with other photographers because they understand your need to take it slow and savor everything you see (as well as take a photo of it, of course!) You KNOW we would have all loved to have been on this walk with you!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-57669386912767519742013-09-26T07:23:01.471-07:002013-09-26T07:23:01.471-07:00I do believe I'd taken pretty much the same ph...I do believe I'd taken pretty much the same photographs as you because I do stop and smell the roses. In fact-when people talk about a certain "style" of photography-mine is all about the small stuff that makes up the big picture! Thank you for a beautiful post.

Something that I have focused on lately is when I walk down a path to walk back the exact same way. It is amazing what you will see when you come through an area from the opposite direction.
