It’s not just walking, it’s a photographic expedition!

I have started carrying my camera with me when I walk.  I am an artist…but not painting right now.  Feel like I am in transition…so I am just really getting into photography.  I bought myself a nice digital SLR a couple of years ago…it was a big purchase for me…but, I am so glad I did it! 

I enjoy having it with me when I walk, because you never know what you will see.  I always walk around a little “lake” in my town and the things that inspire me…just in that little park…are too many to count. 

Just wanted to share, for those who might be artsy…and looking for a way to spice up their walking…this is something I have found that really helps me look forward to my photography ”adventure”! 

Here are just some of the photos I have gotten along the way–if you click on them you can see them up close!

Hope you enjoy them!

These were 3 separate squirrels…cute huh?  My son had a pet one…so it makes me think of him!

    Beautiful pictures! I like taking pictures too. Usually sunsets, creeks and stuff. Love old barns.

    That is so funny - I do the same thing! I walk around my property which has two natural swamps and it is amazing how you would think - why bother bringing a camera every time when it’s the same scenery but it isn’t. You know what I mean? Beautiful pics by the way! :razz:

    HI Chrisie, We are alot alike>I walk by the river here and I love the animals.It inspires me. I had my camera phone with me the other day and tried to take pics of the turtles and the baby geese. I will take my camera next time. We have a nice river walk in town. Blessings to you my friend!

    P.S. I live right in town and we feed the squirrels and birds alot. Last year my yard had little corn stalks growing all over due to the squirrels. we had all kinds of birds. The niehgbors always make fun of me and tell me I need to be in the country. But I love the little creatures God has given us to enjoy…
