I have to say photography is really adicting. <br /><br />I also enjoy walking in such a peaceful place and am glad you enjoy learning about Laura.

I liked using my SRL camera, but I haven't worked with it in a long time. Now everyone takes pictures with their phones that have automated settings. While I confess, it's convenient to use a phone and easy to download on the computer, I do miss the old manual camera with its special lenses, filters, f-stops, and film. I also miss Sarah J.

I particularly like the one in this post, of the plants with their spiky exterior. Sometimes black and white photos bring out the uniqueness. I miss walking and should force myself to at least get on the treadmill now that winter's breath is building from the north. I love your advice and second it.

Laura, Ansel Adams, and William Henry Jackson are favorites of mine.<br />One of the things I've learned in my life is when I'm stuck, looking to people I admire and how they managed their challenges gives me guidelines and inspirations.
