Last week, I drove to Southern California for a family visit. It was wonderful to see my brother, nephews, and grand niece, but after about 3 days of family time, I was itching for some quiet time with my Nikon. I just needed a walking photo meditation. But what to capture? I was in a new housing development in Fontana, not exactly the sort of destination I usually seek out for my images. So I just started walking the streets, looking for anything - patterns, color, something unusual. It was dusk, so the light was nice and soft. Soon I found myself on a walkway connecting two streets, lined by a row of backyard fences on both sides. And what interesting fences they were! Over the years, irrigation has turned these fences into textural works of art. I went back to my nephew's house to grab my tripod and here are some of the results.
It is wonderful what beauty is out there in everyday situations, just waiting to be discovered by us when we slow down long enough to take it in. I hope you enjoy the results of my meditation walk and that you, too, will stay open to beauty in the ordinary. It is all around us!
