not that you asked....
- Carol Dunton
- As a little girl growing up in Ohio, I spent my time outdoors as much as possible playing with Nature. I’ve always been captivated by the textures, nuances and palette of colors found around us. I’m intrigued by the details observed in a crackled leaf, a pink petal, a frosty spider web, or a billowy cloud found in our back yards, gardens, the skies or wherever we may journey. Life is fast-paced. We often walk right past these gifts, unaware of the wonderment they offer to our sense, to our souls. Photography allows me to stop time, to freeze a moment...and to hold these gifts forever…thus creating a permanent feast for the eyes and spirit. Challenging myself with my camera forces me to go for a shot that might be considered unobtainable. The word ‘can’t’ doesn’t enter into my self-talk. Instead, I say “Let me see what I can get!” and I go for it. If I want to take a close, tight picture, I do it, without the benefit of a macro lens. My philosophy is that nothing is wasted and everything is gained in the pursuit of that perfect shot that permanently expresses what my soul is feeling. There are no ‘bad pictures’….merely ‘learning experiences’. I am fearless with my camera.

so beautiful....isn't that the simple truth?
hope you enjoy your day outside enjoying God's creation!
Love the quote, Carol. I also wanted to tell you that I have read the book that your book club is doing this month, and it is one of my absolute favorites. I loved the simplicity of telling such a complex story. If that makes sense :-).

What a lovely post! I'm assuming these photos are from your yard? I really like the quote from Anne Frank. How inspirational that she could be so wise and have such wisdom in a world that showed her such cruelty. A very beautiful post in so many ways. Thank you!
So pretty... so vibrant... so true!
xoxo
I enjoyed the pictures very much!
I need to get out in my yard more, I love spring!
C!!! These are beautiful...R and I are enjoying them. I am loving the quote and thinking that it is SO very true (coming from a woman who is not wanting to leave nature and go "home")
I could sit and look at those beautiful pictures and listen to the soothing song for a real long time. They just make me feel good inside. Don't be surpsired if one day you come home from school to find me sitting in your backyard soking it all in. :o)
Great Post. Love the pics.
I will skip the going outside part for today. We are expecting a FOOT of snow today!
