Cindy - Florida 10:30-11:30 AM

The weather is beautiful! I know there are some who might disagree, but to me it is just perfect. Just by the change of the shadows, and where the sun falls in relation to my house, I can tell it is Fall in Florida. Even the heat is different. From June 1 until August 31 the heat is stifling, and than something happens. The air, all of a sudden, losses some of its density. When the sun hides behind a cloud the air is cool and light. I love Fall, even in Florida. I think it is my favorite season.

Today I decided to revisit a bike path from a few weeks ago. I started at a different location this time. Here are the pictures from the last walk, click here. Most of this path is shielded by trees. It was a wonderful walk, almost spiritual. In this first collection of pictures, you can see my shade covered path. It was so much prettier in person. I call this collect, the one-point perspective lesson. Remember that lesson from you seventh grade art class? Horizon line, vanishing point and all lines converge to meet at the vanishing point, creating the illusion of depth. Simple:)

I was enjoying the diffused light through the forest of trees that surrounded me. It was so cozy.

I took a picture of the sun shining through this tree. Just by step over a half an inch, look at the difference in the size of the sun glaring through the trees!

There were little splashes of color here and there, but you had to look closely. Most were humble weeds. I fell in love with the purple plant. The house, in the sepia toned photo, looked so quaint, I had to click! The upper left photo is an example of a french curve in nature. After all isn't all good design inspired by nature?

You know you are really beginning to appreciate the simple things when mushrooms are an exciting find. What creatively fit walk would be complete without a few good mushrooms?!

These mushrooms looked like they were dusted with cocoa powder.

These little mushrooms were my favorite. I had to shoot them from various angles. I really like the monochromatic color scheme of these photos.

Today was a really good walk! Although I stopped briefly to connect with nature I also walked quickly for a good workout. My body and spirit felt very satisfied. I am so thankful for the simple things in life.
Did you have a good walk today?
I'd love to see it!
