Realization.





I remember taking this picture. It was around noon and it was freezing outside. My mom and I were caneoing alone in the most amazing marsh I have ever seen. My favourite things about that marsh were the trees, they were normal trees. They were more like straight sticks coming out of the marshland. The other thing I love about this photograph is the stillness of the water and how all the trees and foliage reflects on the water. After talking to the Blue Duck, I realized that I really love stillness. Just sitting there with my camera staring at the serene landscape was breathtaking. Thank you Blue Duck for this realization.

Fall

My favorite season is fall. I love the beauty of the trees and the serenity of the leaves and the all around nature. This past weekend I went to Montebello and stayed in the middle of nowhere; it was amazing. There were the most beautiful colours not created by paint or a computer but by a simple leaf. On the lake and in the marsh, the water was so still and everything was so quiet I swear I was not on earth. I took many pictures of the stillness and the beauty of my surroundings. I think that everyone should stop in their day and look at the leaves falling and the geese flying, because nature is real beauty.
