Monthly Wrap Up : September

As I look back upon the month, I can recall the many
moments of creative inspiration I experienced as the days went by.

The next few shots are some of my favorites from last month.

Sea of Gold

How I found so many new things to appreciate.
Like ambling through our "empty" field next door.

Luminous

Or the excitement I felt when I found the last stitch of light in my yard.

Marigold Bokeh

And then there was that day when I spotted some colorful flowers from the car.
I thought about them many times throughout the day.
Naturally, I went back to get my shots.

Creature of the Night

Finding the unexpected kept things interesting.
I love when that happens.

Cotton Candy Skies

And in this case, the icing on the cake would be the "Cotton Candy Skies".
I could have picked half of this months photos as a favorite, really.
And I would even go so far as to say that, this was my best month yet.
So, instead of doing those links like I normally do for

the monthly wrap up, how about another quasi-slide show!?!?
It's not a real slide show because the photos won't cycle on their own,
so to view the images, just click the thumbnails.



I'm extremely happy about how September went for
me in terms of the monthly challenge. I stayed inspired.
I can always tell when I'm going through one of those splendid periods
because I get really behind on the {366} Photographic Journal blog.
Here we are mid-October, and I'm just now getting through September!
I'm being flexible. It will get done.

  3. My favorites are the praying mantis (is that a droplet of water on his "snout"?), the colorful flowers you saw from the car, and your cat in Cody's? arms. I also admire your description "the last stitch of light."

  9. Those were all so wonderful it would be hard for me to pick a favorite but if I had to pick I'd say the first one. I love the field so much. The unexpected surprises in life are so often the very best ones.

  11. these are awesome. AWEsome. I love all of them, and it's quite difficult to pick a favorite. I would say it's a tie between the first and the lemon and chicken (?). No More Nails - those were serious nails.

I love the way you see things, the way you can notive the little things and turn them into something so special. You are simply a bundle of inspiration!!! It is people like you who can amble through an £empty field" and find it overflowing with beautiful things.
