I’ve had a post half-written for a while inviting you to come for a walk with me, using words alone. But today I’m going to be lazy, and will take you on a very short part of that walk with my camera. This morning was bright and sunny, I felt like getting out of the house, and so I grabbed my camera, and decided to do one of the exercises from my photography course that is meant to help me become more creative. Essentially, I was to go for a walk, and take a picture every 15 steps or so, forcing me to focus on the plants, flowers, weeds and fences! Here are the results starting in my driveway and – my phone tells me – walking about 800 steps down the street, and back.
We start in my driveway, with the concrete blocks we dug up some years ago, and plan to use for a steps in the garden, before walking up to the street,
and the neighbours’ plants.
We then cross the road and see a sign,
encounter plants I can’t name, and a few weeds,
a protea
some flowers even in the depths of winter,
and a few fences.
The final fence, and the bare tree behind it, remind me that it is winter,
but the green cabbage tree welcoming me home is always lush and vibrant.
Beautiful! Thank you!

These photos are beautiful! I love walking around with my camera and grabbing closeups of things I wouldn’t think to pay attention to. It shows you there’s beauty everywhere.
