Fog tells this natural story better than anything

I've been with new subject material since hiking is not really the vibe right now.

"Pass through this brief patch of time in harmony with nature, and come to your final resting place gracefully, just as a ripened olive might drop, praising the earth that nourished it and grateful to the tree that gave it growth." — Marcus Aurelius

I love elevating graveyards during the cold months. Even better with a weird old lens I love weird.

I've been loving this vintage lens. I was skeptical! We're encouraged to buy thousand dollar equipment. I have been having fun breaking that down and expanding

I've been struggling to find subjects with the change of seasons, temperature, and options - the usual isn't usual anymore.

Perspectives can and change like the seasons; it's natural.

Nature shows us that it is what's inside that matters most.

As seen here, and in many natural cycles, the battered, dead, broken parts give way to the only thing that matters to the future.

While examining dead tendrils, I noticed this explosion of life and transformation, and it made me think about how the universe we live in demonstrates that the queerest of things are also the butterflies of the world. That's a universal truth

My hiking adventures are whatever I want them to be, whatever I can focus on long enough to ascend.

The black and white memory of a summer flower - spent, skeletal, beautiful in its absence of life force

I don't think anything but this macro lens could translate my mind's eye.
A dead piece of shrubbery caught my attention as it does.

The marsh is now cold, and everything is dead already.

Yet, with a perspective shift, it's a warm sunset and flowers.

I just love what black and white can reduce a scene to. One of my favorite headspaces is shifting into the perspective that seeks out such bare, simple, but communicative moments

Perspective is life. Anything can be beautiful, any moment can be meaningful, and every moment can be made into an act of awe and appreciation

Check out this scene. So much curiosity on a leaf, I would have just walked right past before I learned how to dismiss the noisy mind for a fraction of a second

This stuck me. Even the tiniest things in nature show us through action that emergence from protection is part of the life cycle.

Fall brings some of my favorite subjects - the dried-up husks of what's left.
This memory of a summer flower caught my attention for standing tall, alone, ravaged yet happy, being what's left

In nature, there is beauty in the whole cycle. This berry wears its dead, used-up shell as wings, illuminated by the color of the cycle

Amazing how rapidly summer's abundance has given way to fall.
This sentiment is shared in observing the natural world, where each layer gives way to a new, different form of vibrant persistence

My thoughts drift to all the men who battle their demons in silence, unable to bare their soul to another.
You are not alone, my brothers! 🖤
