So I haven't blogged in over a year.....I think a lot of that is due to time and perhaps lack of inspiration. A good writer has to have something to write about, something that stirs a deep passion in their soul, an idea or a thought that nags at their brain until it is finally put onto paper. I have been severely lacking in the inspiration department lately....and I think that has a lot to do with my first excuse...time. At any rate, I have found an outlet for my need to be creative in the last months, and this is in the form of photography. I am no artist, I will be the first to say that. I have always appreciated art, but loathed anything crafty or artsy for myself because I am terrible at it! However, I have held an interest for several years in photography. Although I have yet to master the art of taking good pictures of people, my favorite subject to photograph is nature. I love trying to capture the beauty of nature on camera, and as weird as it may sound, I am obsessed with taking pictures of dead trees. I know, morbid, right? I think the fascination with trees for me is their architectural structure, their timeless elegance, despite age. Anyway, I am going to try to post more of my favorite photos I have taken (the ones here are of the coastline near Pebble Beach in Monterey, California and the dead tree is one of many I have taken. This one is from a nature reserve outside of Omaha); enjoy them for what they are - my first attempts at artistry.
