My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, coffee life, spirituality and the mystery of it all.
I love my walks. I find them to be healing, calming my spirit. Those cobwebs forming in my head can be torn away with a walk. The chattering of thoughts can be quieted when listening to the music of nature. With or without a camera in hand they are important in my life. Todays walk included the camera so after clearing my mind the focus went to the flowers surrounding me. I feel better, now.
They say walking is good exercise. I believe them. We can keep weight off, build up our cardiovascular and just feel good about ourselves. Finding the discipline to walk on a regular basis has been lacking in my life for the past few years. Now that I have this nature area behind my apartments I do get out more often and that’s good. I headed out to the park with my camera and tripod, thinking I could get a self-portrait image along with a walk.
On the way back to the car, this silly question came to mind. I bought myself a nice carbon fiber tripod a few years ago and have been really pleased with it. It’s rugged and solid. Paid a lot of money for it. But even with the three legs I still have to carry the darn thing. Anyone else have to carry theirs, also?
