Elk, I love the light in all your photography - especially this series. It's always so soft and delicate and yet strong at the same time. Would love to see where you photograph some time.

Thank you my friend! You see beauty in so many things that I miss on my walk. Focusing on God's gifts instead of my weaknesses will help me on my journey today!
Love you!!

Such lovely finds, Elk! This weekend Dear Husband & I too a walk in the woods. Mostly at slow pace for our souls... seeing signs of spring, almost good for the soul after a long winter. I brought home pine cones too. ;o) Happy Week, my friend ((HUGS))

Dogs are very good at combining both heart & soul into their walks, even in a single minute. ;)

Elk, you and I should go for a walk together. I am a great gather - I so love nature's treasures and details. Lovely captures! I particularly like the middle one.

My 16 y/o son and I went on a slow walk yesterday looking for morel mushrooms...it WAS good for our souls. Just left what needed to be done behind...(found just a few, it's early yet)

I think that is a quote that needs to be tacked up on my wall, right where I can see it, everyday.
