As the life cycle continues, new leaves sprout, grow, turn brilliant browns and oranges then fall to the ground. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.

Up Close: Beeing Present
This week has been full of packing and loading as I lend a helping hand to my daughter as she moves to a new house. Boxes in trucks and trailers toppling with yard and garage items. I could easily feel overwhelmed with what needs to move next.
Yet in a moment of pause between lift – and – move, I noticed a little bee sitting on the trailer just looking a me. I had get closer to make sure of what I saw. Yes, he was resting on the rail just “chillin” and I seemed to him, a “busy bee“! With pollen still clinging to his busy little legs, this hard worker knew the value of restful contemplation.

“Slow down”, my mind said to me “bee in the moment.”
“Life is available only in the present moment” Thich Nhat Hanh
So bee there!
I turned again to thank my small spiritual guru. Alas, he had already flown off to teach another person a sweet drop of wisdom.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Fenced In
Leaves in trees. I am familiar with them. Leaves on the ground. I’ve seen them lying around. How about leaves in fences? Strangely I have seen many! Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

Remembering My Bonaventure
On Sunday 9th back in June 2013, we were part of a wonderful tour given by the Bonaventure Historical Society Inc. at Bonaventure Cemetery, A National Registry Historic Place. Located in gorgeous Savannah, Georgia.
After attending the Opening lecture about the historical cemetery and its influence on art March 1st 2018, I decided to revisit former posts and pictures about Bonaventure. I will also use this an opportunity to take the guided tour at Bonaventure Cemetery again this month and compare my previous iPad and iPhone photography to my Canon and Nikon, my primary cameras.

A Photo A Week Challenge with the topic: Face in the Crowd.
Robert (me) on the New York City Highline. What a great day walking and people watching!
Grandchildren’s Halloween school parade, “The Golden Girls”.
A beautiful couple I photographed getting wedding photography shots in a group of students walking over the Brooklyn Bridge. A rare shot for me!
