My husband brought some granite rocks into the front yard when we remodeled and I am so happy to see that they are alive with moss and lichens of a variety of colors. Now when I walk down my front path I will see some living things that have made themselves at home...that makes me happy.
There are still leaves falling each day from the colorful trees and I love the way this red leaf fell among the yellow-green leaves. Now that I look at the photo closely, I notice there is a mushroom peeking through on the top left side.
The gray skies of December have a different feel to them and give the afternoon a somber cast. The sweet gum tree is all dressed up with its sticker balls and a few remaining red-orange leaves. I find myself looking up at the sky more in the winter....checking the sky for clouds, looking for birds, viewing the world that opens up when the leaves are gone.
I feel a whole series of December World posts coming on as I work my way through my photos from this week. Using photography to capture your world is not only an easy way to document your time outdoors but it can be therapeutic to see the world through the lens of your camera. You get to focus on the small and the big.
Hope you are enjoying the series so far.

I am waiting for the boys to wake up to take a morning walk at the beach. I can't wait to see where the waterfalls pop out over the cliffs. It was such a surprise last year - when 3-4 large waterfalls arrived until early summer. I've tried doing dishes and laundry and even turned on the tv. I might have to resort to singing. :)
ReplyDeleteWe awoke this morning to a frosty world. I walked out to the compost pile earlier and the leaves were all crunchy with ice! The sun is out now so I am hoping it will take the chill out of the air.
ReplyDeleteHave a great waterfall walk!
