"When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence." Ansel Adams
This is a good quote for a day when I am feeling scattered. Woke up tired, so I put in an hour on the elliptical and some time with free weights. I feel better physically but mentally feel just out of it. Went out and played with my camera. I just love the brilliant red of these hummingbird vine blooms.
While not ignoring the thrill of the flowers that love the fall, especially these vine blossoms and butterfly ginger, I am also working on a series of photos that deals with the beauty I see in the plants of summer succumbing to the cooler temps of autumn. Where others may just see dried-out, browning plants that need to be pruned back, I see this particular cycle of dying back as a hopeful time, a kind of promise that the winter can be survived and there will be another spring full of color and fresh green.
