PICTURE PERFECT -- 10 MINUTES FROM HOME

 

Camera is my trusty Kodak EasyShare Z612

This is at the Frog Pond in Del Rey Oaks. Easily within ten minutes driving time.   It has a very well maintained and beautiful hiking trail that loops around the entire Preserve.  This is on the back side of the Preserve.  I am fascinated by trees that over hang a trail, or form a canopy, embracing over the trail from both sides, perhaps with vines intertwined among the branches. I do want to go back on a day that is not overcast, so the colors will be a bit more vibrant. This specific spot always reminds me of Robert Frost's poem:

 Road Less Traveled.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

by Robert Frost


I understand that some cannot view Photobucket, so this is a smaller version.

~ Each week a theme will be posted up on Wednesday, and you are invited to put up your best picture with that theme in mind, it should be just

 ONE and ORIGINAL, i.e not off the internet,

Then come back and post a comment on this page
so that everyone can link to your blog and see your pic.

By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in anyway! Out of the box thinking is encouraged!!

Please open your page for viewing for all for that day...and then visit as many others as you can! Try and post a decent size pic on your blog page, so much is lost if the pic is too small or too big.

The entries will close at midnight on Friday

 This week's theme is a little unusual... a challenge, if you will.

The International Photography Walk is taking place this week. I decided we could all take part in a small way.

Your challenge is to walk, run, cycle, fly, jump, drive for 10 minutes and take a photo at that point. I'm sure we can all spare 10 minutes : )
