An abstract image I took early this afternoon, of some wood oat grass blades along the side of Piney Woods Church Road….

Sunlight sifts through the forest trees, making its way to the space between the edges of a tulip poplar leaf, somewhere down Piney Woods Church Road….

At the end of my evening walk, the sun was low in the sky, perhaps a half hour before sunset. Walking back toward Rico Rd., my attention was caught by a shriveled brown leaf lying on the grass. I got down onto the ground with my camera at ground level, and started to explore its possibilities as a screen for Balinese shadow play. (For those unfamiliar with Balinese shadow puppet theater, here is a great website on the topic.) The result is a tiny landscape of shadow, color and texture, created by the various shadows on the leaf, a grass blade standing just in front of it, and the textures and colors of the leaf itself. How many such miniature worlds of the imagination do we pass by every day?

Today on my morning walk I kept finding myself drawn to tendrils of muscadine grapevines, which are growing in profusion right now along Piney Woods Church Road.

Here is another abstract photograph from late this afternoon along Piney Woods Church Road. A ball of light seems to hover between two branches of a shrub on the left side of the photograph. I enjoy the blurred colors here — the green of magnolia leaves and the patch of blue sky.

I am not sure what draws me to this rather abstract image of the woods on Piney Woods Church Road, nor why I feel compelled to title it “Balance Point”. But here it is.

From my walk earlier today, I offer these two interpretations of daffodils blooming in the golden late afternoon sunlight.

A few abstract images gleaned from today’s Piney Woods Church walk. I am enjoying the possibilities of the blur. I have opted for spare titles to accompany them. From top to bottom: Winter Shrub; Robin in the Lawn; Distant Leaf; Budding Tree; and Loblolly Pine.
