The other week, I did a little wandering about, with no intention of taking pictures. But since I almost always have my camera with me in my purse (one of many “essentials” that means I carry a pretty big purse).
Photo number one.
tree tops, blue sky, clouds
Maybe because it’s the only time I turned my camera skyward on this walk, but every time I see this picture, I think a small “wow.”
tree-lined path
I’ll say it again. I love “the path/road” ahead shots. I love the colors, trees, and the way the path bends off to the right in the far distance.
a cylinder and a camera-shy squirrel
This drew my attention because when I first saw it, the squirrel had his head in the cylinder and seemed to be having trouble getting it out. I was afraid the cylinder was a metal can, so even though he got his head out and started hopping away as I neared (don’t ask what I would have done if he’d still been stuck when I got up to him…), I went over to throw the can away. When I got up to it, it turned out that the “can” was actually an open cylinder shaped-piece of very thin tree bark. So, I wasn’t entirely sure if the squirrel was actually “stuck” in it or had his head in there for another reason (if there was something yummy inside). I decided to throw it out anyway, just in case. I wondered if the squirrel would chase after me to fight me for his bark, but he did not!
And those are my stories.
Have a great weekend. Hope you have skies like in photo number 1 (with or without the clouds, your choice)!
by all reports, we are to have a fantastic weekend, here – at this moment, there is not a cloud in the blue, blue sky!
LOVE photo #2 of the path. and you were so kind to think about the squirrel – funny creatures!
since my mind is on photography challenges…i can see you doing a weekly round-up of what you saw (since your camera is accessible when you’re out)…your photos are very artistic!
i always have my camera on me, too – as necessary as keys and wallet!
Thanks! We have good weather on deck for this weekend too!
I do like the idea of “what I saw” posts. It’s fun to mix in more random photography…and I have to admit after doing writing heavy posts, it’s nice to let the photos tell the story!
I like the squirrel story and I’m glad it was ok! We had a lot of squirrels on my college campus and it was always exciting to see one when I was a freshman because I really missed my pets and squirrels were the closest thing haha. Have a great weekend!
I remember being amused by the squirrels on my college campus,too! I was pretty relieved to see the squirrel emerge from the cylinder…and happy when I saw it wasn’t a can!
Pretty pictures, Zo! Thanks for sharing them. Have a great Sunday!
Thanks! You too!
