Never give up...Life or in this case Nature, will find a way

El Gato

In keeping with Tom's challenge to post more frequently...

These are some "quick snaps" taken while out walking the dog.

I noticed these determined little plants over several days. They each finally overcame the barrier placed before them with a will to survive no matter what.

Given all that has happened over the past four months, I thought a quick, unassuming set of nondescript images could provide a little encouragement and inspiration to never give up...never.

They all say something to me, Gato. Left alone, nature WILL prevail. The encouragement and inspiration you allude to is a point well made.

Great set. Nature versus man-made. Red and green, great color combo.

Taz, Tom, Phil...

Thank you each for your comments on my simple set here. I am very appreciative.

This stay-and-work-at-home, lock-in has provided me with more opportunities to wander aimlessly around the neighborhood as I walk the dog (I really think he is taking me wherever he desires to go), however, I digress...

During these walks, I have begun to notice things that previously I would not have. Slowing down, walking around, spending more time walking the neighborhood instead of heading off to the office, has given me the opportunity to view my neighborhood differently. I have mentally complied a list of shots I would like to take, each sorted by time of day, B&W or color, framing, composition, even a few that will have to wait until fall.

Maybe philosophical, however, I am recognizing that one need not fly hundreds of miles from home in search of that epic shot, when it may be just out the front door.

More neighborhood shots in the works. Hope to have more to share soon.

Thanks again gents, for your comments.
