Sometimes it is only necessary to wander in silence...
Sometimes you just want to observe without thinking...
Sometimes you just want to embrace nature and let it embrace you...
This was going to be a post strictly about photography in a natural environment, I was going to tell how I took these pictures, how I looked for the small details, the surfaces, the colours and I was going to tell how a small butterfly landed on my arm and then climbed on my hand when I approached it... But as you can see, instead of doing that, I started this publication by writing a few brief reflections in poetic prose... So...

But as you can see, instead of doing that, I started this publication by writing a few brief reflections in poetic prose... So... Did I make these photos or are these photos somehow "making me"?...
From time to time peace is born in observance, even a moment of it is enough to enlighten us always...
A tiny miracle here, another there... It's a lot of things happening there, all wanting to say that we are something beyond our daily hustle and bustle...
The only risk you take in nature is to want to stay there forever... In fact, when you come back, a small part of you stays there... And that happens every time you come and go...
ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL NOTE: Photographs captured with my Nikon D7000 DSLR camera in RAW format, then processed in Adobe Camera RAW for adjustments regarding light, sharpening, contrast and depth... The pictures are then exported to JPG format on which minor modifications such as straightening and adding watermarks were carried out using PhotoScape 3.6.3. and/or Photoshop
Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!
