After another overnight rainfall, Piney Woods Church Road vegetation was again festooned with water droplets. I peered into minute worlds and encountered magnificent jewels as I made my way from one end of the road to the other. There are so many discoveries that still await….
Only two days left? Time travels faster as I get older I guess, been a good journey to see though. Any chances of the before/after one year type landscape shots? Good Show!
Grant,
Thanks for your comments.
Interesting that you should ask about before/after shots. A few people have recommended, at various times, that I photograph the same scene at two very different times, such as two different seasons. For some reason, I have never felt motivated to do that. I have surprised myself by being less interested in the local landscape as a whole, and more interested in the particular bits of wonder that emerge every day I walk there. Despite the seasons, there is a timeless quality to my pilgrimage — a feeling of new prospects every day.
Still three days left. I will post also on the first of the new year, then take a couple of weeks to regroup before some new posting, leading up to the next big project in March.
Thanks for hanging in there!

Really amazing jewels. No photoshop or anything? I am so impressed. Inspired to try some of this myself.
Robin,
I have been shooting JPG files and making minor modifications in contrast and brightness (and cropping, of course) using Picasa, but that is all. I have plans to learn Lightroom in the next few months, because I hope to transition to raw images. No Photoshop in my near future, though.
Thank you very much!
