woodlands path

When I walk upon a familiar country pathway if I bring my camera and look closer at scenery and background around me; I see flora and fauna, fish and plants I hadn’t noticed before. Even a path that I’ve hiked before can offer up new beauty with the changing of the seasons.

To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday. John Burroughs

Sometimes I notice things link together, it just sort of works out that way occasionally. A Weekly Photo Challenge – In the Background and Travel theme: Pathways linked up for me when I walked an old, familiar trail. I walked a little slower and notice background and things closer to path, to the ground.

I liked linking these two photo challenges together for first a landscape view and then a close up of the background images along the path. I’ll be doing this again with my camera lens–looking for far and near.
