All about Nature, about the outdoors<>I love it, photograph it and protect it.
Beauty in the ‘burbs!
It’s such a marvelous thing when you find amazing natural beauty in unexpected places.
About two miles from the neighborhood where I live is a web of subdivisions all tagged with the Deerfield name. There are four or five different subs all told; it’s a fairly large development.
On the southern fringe of the complex–yes, off Deerfield Drive–the developers created a large urban wetland that rivals any natural space I’ve seen in Central Florida.
It’s quite beautiful and I’ve often thought that the area would be prime for a photo shoot.
Well, one day last week, I finally got off my fanny and took about 150 shots.
I’m pretty pleased with the result.
Here’s another shot I like a lot. At this point, I was probably fewer than 40 or 50 steps into this lovely space.
It’s too much fun when you’re taking pix to play tricks with shadow and light. I love to shoot in early morning or come out to catch those last two hours of daylight in order to have the most fun possible with shadows.
I’ll get one more in before I publish this post and get on with some “other stuff” that’s calling out for my attention this afternoon. This one captures for me that feeling of blossoming serenity that filled me when I first walked up on this wonderful oasis of tranquility that sits less than a quarter mile from busy John Young Parkway in southern Orange County.
May you be blessed with some serene scenes and moments of intense tranquility today.
