Changing Faces of Nature


More about my Body of Work....

Here are the 2 locations I've chosen for my personal study of the changing faces of Nature. My Oak Tree is right outside my back door, therefore, tends to get a whole lot more attention than the Hillside location. The Hillside is only a 10 minute walk from my house, but I have noticed that I have a considerably less shots of that scene than I do of the Oak. I'm sure that's because sometimes it just seems like too much trouble to get there, especially when it's bitterly cold outside and the fire is really warm and inviting inside, but I'm beginning to think it's also because I don't really like that location all that much.

This is rather a disturbing realization, because we went to a lot of effort to choose it and then set it all up, and so I'm pretty much committed to continuing with the project right there where it is. I guess, at this point, I'm just hoping it'll grow on me and we will form a happier relationship as time passes and the seasons unfold.

Here are 2 of my favourite shots so far. I'll be updating as the seasons change.....

My Little Oak Tree:



Peaceful Hillside



And here's another lovely face of my beautiful little Oak tree as she greets the sunrise...

  3. Really LOVE the blog and the body of work idea! Good for you for taking on both big projects Janet!!
    The pictures are gorgeous, every single one, just beautiful, and its so great to have a forum like this to share them with your fans. I would like to see the old photo quotes brought back into play, and would like some philosphical discussion brought into the blog, so it is not just a photography blog!
    There is some more work for you already! Way to go and keep it up!!!

  5. Well, now you've ticked me off !
    Ran through the blog and stumbled across the Little Oak Tree pic. Thought to myself "what a great pic." Lo and behold, just two images down is another pic, taken at sunrise (I assume). Now, can you please explain to me just HOW us mortals are supposed to pic between the two ? !!
    Oh well, I guess we can just choose both. lol.

    Beautiful works and continued success for the BOW project.
