For years, Eudora Welty nurtured a photographic career. She said, “Life doesn’t hold still. A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.” Later she translated her creativity into writing. She decided words conveyed more of life than photography. Her legacy encompasses all aspects of the imagination in stories, novels, essays and reviews.
During morning runs, I relish moments of sights, sounds, and scents even though they interrupt my forward progress. Thanks to my cell phone’s photo capability, I chase the illusive.
Nature won't hold still or pose for my whim. I moved the ladybug from a lower leaf to assist with the photograph above.
A Great Blue Heron is patient for only one or two clicks.
. I wonder
how squirrel
translates by tail
the metronome of trees.
Peonies will always pose.
As spring blooms with opportunities, take a walk with a digital camera.
Let the illusive aspects of nature inspire words.
