Lunch hour getaway

I went to the Enchanted Forest Park yesterday for lunch and this is some of what I saw:

This horse was at a distance, but came closer to pose.



A wooden bridge


The low-lying, yellow flowers, coupled with the bench, caught my fancy.


Pentas -- Always eye-catching with the red clusters of pretty. Butterflies love them.


Pony peeking at me through the fence.

Horse back curve ...


An anxious habit? Perhaps, as it was enclosed in a small pen.

Ibis around the tree -- I liked the momentary way the tree framed them).

These photos remind me that shoots don’t have to be reserved for quieter, unrushed times, as they were shot during my lunch hour.

I also took some shots of my girlfriend at work, one of which she added to her on-line singles profile. She liked them so much, she asked that I take more today. It’s nice working on portraits apart from my own. Plus, it feels good when that person is pleased enough to want more.

Digressing .... Am I dependent on stimuli from the world outside? I choose instead to focus on internal stimuli -- creations from within ... ones that birth inspiration, delight and intrigue.

I choose to live an authentic life, filled with integrity, health, passion, appreciation and beauty. Photography is my passion ... Photoshop is my passion ... Words are my passion. I fall in love with them time and again, especially when used in simple, yet novel ways.

I exercise my body for strength so it can get me where I need to go.

I nourish my body for health so I will always feel good.

... Ok, pressed for time so will have to fix any format mistakes later ... Off to watch movie with Hunny, and then have to finish new portraits of my coworker for tomorrow ...


Adieu ...
