Photography by Naomi Drew
I have not been too much into cameras or photography for weeks, but with the weather changing and my garage getting straightened up (a months long project!), at least I am finding an interest in something other than my messy house!
An element of mystery always catches me when on this trail. It is not through a particularly dramatic landscape, but its overgrowth always enchants me. As evening falls, it is the stuff of dreams or fairy tales or nightmares.
I will leave you to your imagination.
Composite image from I don’t know how many pictures, taken with the X100V. Trees, of course, being one of my favorite subjects, are there! This is from the bottom of a new path in the local botanical garden.
My box of knitting – a sweater in the round, to be steeked into a cardigan. The whole process of steeking entails sewing down a bead on either side of where you CUT THE SWEATER. From there, well, let’s wait until then! Too scary to contemplate for a first-time activity.
Oh, how Covid-19 makes you bored and brave (or foolish) at the same time!
A field of yellow flowers, green grass, and shadows under the glaring sun. Too much color so into black-and-whitishness!
What I see early in the morning while I drink my coffee and read the news!
Trees never cease to allure! Personality, character, beauty. No idea what kind this is, but its bark is so beautiful that it caught my eye, and my lens.
Whenever we get cabin fever during shelter-in-place Covid-19 orders, we get out and drive, and explore new bits around us. This was in a split-level park, with different plateaus connected by walking paths. Here, a bit of ground cover at the edge of a level, butting up against the spring mustard blooms. Not exciting as far as scenery, but a pleasant little neighborhood park we had not seen before. Well, sort of a neighborhood park – 30 miles away!

Sometimes nature’s blues amaze me . . .
I doubt we will be seeing clouds like these in the near future. The rainy season may be ended. Looking ahead to the weather forecast, sunny days in the low 70s. Not bad at all, but the rain is so needed . . .
