It was during that time in my life that I knew I always wanted Art to be a part of it. Time of course moves on and you don't always have that choice, life tends to get in the way. I still find myself yearning for something sometimes though, that artistic seed never goes away and unless you nourish it and allow it to grow, it becomes a little hole in your soul. That's my opinion at least.
Last weekend it was my brother's birthday and I traveled to my parents' house where we spent the weekend.
The birthday boy. We had a short lumberjack competition and here he is mid-swing. This one turned out REALLY well. I love it!
It's hard to squeeze anything into that time with nieces, nephews and cousins coming and going but while out in the woods on the 4-wheeler, it struck me how beautiful the sunlight looked streaming through the trees. I had to capture a small portion of that and bring it home, something to keep my spirits alive during the winter and so, the next afternoon as the sun was setting, I took a walk in the woods with my camera. Here are some of the pictures I took.
I love the pink berries in the foreground of this one.
Although there are trails in the woods, I tried to capture just the natural parts of it.
Fallen trees, that were fallen naturally, and little touches that make you feel almost like you're completely alone out there.
This is my favorite of the ones I took and the first one, as a matter of fact. I love the sunshine streaming in, it almost makes me feel it on my skin.
Then of course, I had to have a picture of the fire, as the sun set and we all settled in for the evening.
You should note that I don't have a fancy pants camera. Just a little Canon but I set it to landscape for the woods photos and quick shutter for the fire and my brother and I love the way these photos turned out.
