While we were walking in the mountains yesterday, I was inspired to play with this device that captures objects and scenes. You know what gadget we are talking about, right? A photo camera. However, I somehow feel inappropriate to say that I was taking photos, so I prefer to say to play.
Reason - I can't say that I knew what I was doing. Those who are real photographers here will know that there are many things to know to capture the moment, and the scene, and to say something with your photo. To tell a story with a single photo.
Still, I liked the idea of trying to take a photo of this little red leaf. Actually, it reminded me a bit of the last photo from this post that I saw just the night before. Not that they look like a lot, but both of them represent a dying leaf which started its transformation process.
About the holes in the leaf from the first photo, I am not sure if the bugs made them. Probably it was the cold that damaged its warm-coloured tissue. We are in December, and it is not a surprise that colder nights can bring some difficult times to deciduous vegetation. However, warmth and an autumn scene are what is somehow preserved there. At least, I feel the photo in that way.
The next one - here we talk about December and the upcoming holiday. Don't you think these little berries are like ornaments hidden among the branches of a Christmas tree? Shy, little Christmas balls. They know it's too early to be in the spotlight and to be shown in their true glory. {what an excuse lol}
We walked a lot yesterday so I got to see more details in the woods. In one of the bushes, there was a feather. Probably a bird that just lost it... or left it on purpose to serve as a Christmas decoration in the bush? Any possibility can be valid, the thing is that we can build up the story in our mind but a photo should be the starting point. This is the humble result of my attempt, but here you can add to it and improve it in your vision.
This little compilation of autumn/winter scenes from the woods that show some warm-coloured details finishes with a different photo. Maybe we can feel it doesn't belong here as the tones are much colder, but what connects them is that all of them were born in my playing activity. They are here to practice the peace of mind state too. 😉
