Shades of Brown {Nurture Photography}

 

 

 

The landscape is changing ... the bright colors of autums slowly fade, while the different shades of brown are appearing.

 

 

 

As the rain ceased yesterday afternoon, I took a walk by the lake ... for the first time in 10 days! I walked slowly, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the sunshine.

 

By this bridge I met a talented photograpger, Karin, who specializes in taking pictures of birds. She had spotted a mandarine duck laste weekend, and showed me some breath achingly beautiful photos. We shared our experiences of nature phtography and exchanged e-mails ... Such a happy surprise to meet her and get to know her!

Seasons change ... nature around us spires, blooms and slowly witheres ... to spire again in some months. Witnessing the beauty in all seasons is a priviledge.

 

 

... Thank you Kristi and Rebecca for the Nurture Photography Challenges, that makes us look for the special delights in every season!

“I often sit and watch the the leaves change colour and fall from the tree.

 

 

 

 

 

To me, those leaves signify the constant change in our own lives and

all the beautiful colours signify our own emotions.

 

 

 

 

As the leaves, change and fall from the tree's with such grace and gentleness,

 

 

 

 they're reminding us to be gentle with ourselves as this chapter ends and

the next journey begins in our lives."

Yellow / shiny details {Nurture Photography}

The colorful leaves are scattered all over ...

... They're piling up along the street corners, under the wheels, even in the biking basket!

The scenery around the lakes close by is about to turn yellow - it is wonderful to see the pigments of the yellow from bright lemon to cobolt and ochre.

Yellow-green waterplant leaves make a beautiful contrast agains the blue lake ... the nature is playing a colorful symphony at the moment!

"Live for today, love for tomorrow,

and laugh at all your yesterdays.

Never regret the past,

always hope for tomorrow,

and cherish every moment you have."

Greens of Autumn {Nurture Photography}

         Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing,

                 of just going along,               

listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.

 

Winnie the Pooh

 

I've enjoyed the walks this week,just sensing ...



 

 

The wind in my hair, the leaves under my feet ...

the light shining through the leaves.

Autumn is a about change ...

... In nature, in weather, in us.

 

For me fall brings about the feeling of a new beginning, a fresh start -

maybe as a remnant from the times when autumn marked a new semester.

 



It's time for harvest - the scent of apples is hovering over

the gardens in the neighborhood.

 

The colorful leaves and fruits - slowly fading and falling

- at the same time scattering seeds for new life,

to be hidden covered and hidden in the cold season,

yet awakening and sprouting in the spring.

Colorful weekend to you!

Red - A Child's Vision {Nurture Photography}

A Child's Vision

Under the sweet-peas I stood
And drew deep breaths, they smelt so good.
Then, with strange enchanted eyes,
I saw them change to butterflies.

Higher than the skylark sings
I saw their fluttering crimson wings
Leave their garden-trellis bare
And fly into the upper air.

Standing in an elfin trance
Through the clouds I saw them glance….
Then I stretched my hands up high
And touched them in the distant sky.

At once the coloured wing came back
From wandering in the zodiac.
Under the sweet-peas I stood
And drew deep breaths. They smelt so good.

Green / Adventure {Nurture Photography}

 

"Lost in the forest, I broke off a dark twig
and lifted its whisper to my thirsty lips:
maybe it was the voice of the rain crying,
a cracked bell, or a torn Heart.
 

 

Something from far off it seemed

deep and secret to me, hidden by the earth,

a shout muffled by huge autumns,

by the moist half-open darkness of the leaves.

 

 

Wakening from the dreaming forest there, the hazel-sprig

sang under my tongue, its drifting fragrance

climbed up through my conscious mind

 

 

 

 

as if suddenly the roots I had left behind

cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood---

and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent."

 Adventure awaits us -

often when least expected!

"I see trees of green........ red roses too

 

I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

 

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white

Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights

 

 

And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

 

Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
They're really sayin......i love you.

 

 

Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful World."
