ORANGE AGLOW IN THE COLOUR SPECTRUM

Each foray outdoors provides infinite photographic opportunities! Today's blog focuses on the colour orange in the colour spectrum. When I'm mindful of a particular 'something', my attention is drawn to more of the same. The orange fungus in the first photo caught my eye. Unfortunately it was off the road and beyond a lot of bramble vegetation. These rough, tangled, prickly shrubs are difficult to navigate because their thorns grab one's clothing making it difficult to move. Despite this challenge, I pushed forward to capture the shot. 

Other 'orange' objects accompany this blog - a leaf frozen in time, a 'flower-like' mushroom decorating bark, a White Birch scraped to expose orange beneath its bark, and more fungus amidst a decaying Yellow Birch and leaf litter of the previous season. 

What can you find?

Yours in nature,

Marlene

THE FIRST MAJOR SNOWFALL  After two days of persistent snow, today the sky is clear and the sun shines on a winter wonderland. I put on my high winter boots, grab my binoculars and camera and embrace winter. The beauty of fresh snow draping the landscape penetrates my soul. I wander through the woods and am met by a constant parade of images. So today, I present you with 'winter'. Dress according to the weather and enjoy the spectacle of this special season. It is calming and brings solace in these challenging times. Yours in nature, Marlene

NATURE POTPOURRI Fall is a wondrous time for exploring nature. With barren trees, hidden features become apparent and bird species are more visible. Every day as I walk and explore, I find new nature gems. Even the same route yields discoveries. The more I train my eye to 'really see', the more I 'see', just as ideas generate more ideas. Be open to the natural world; it is full of wonders.
