Seeing the seasons

Seeing the seasons change around you is something that I haven't experienced for a long time.  It reminds me of when I first arrived in America ... back East in Rhode Island.  Seeing the seasons change for the first time ... from summer to fall then winter.  The beautiful colors that appear and then disappear as all the leaves loose hold ... the excitement of the approaching summer once spring temperatures are on the rise.

Transitioning North from the city it has been nice to discover the different green around us.  Being here long enough to see the different shapes and tones that develop with the seasons.  It inspires me to learn more each day ... looking closer into the details ... diving deeper into things and exploring like when you were younger.  

I find myself using elements of nature and styling within photos ... it seems to create such a nice balance to the photograph.  I think that nature is something we are instinctually drawn too.  We visit nature to relax ... to see something beautiful ... to revive ourselves.  You can gain so much inspiration from nature and it's natural design.  

Here's a few photos captured lately  ... ;)
