Cold April Monday and a new lens... what shall I do?

It seems like Spring will never make it.

April has been so cold and snowy

The sun came out, and I just had to get outside.

 

Lunch Time at the river

I caught a few friends for lunch today
I dont know how they can survive in that cold water
I guess I need to grow some feathers

The reason I do this

When I load up my camera and my walking stick and head out
Im not looking to be the best photographer
Im not looking for the million dollar shot...
As I go out, on the trail, in the woods, a city street, wherever
Im looking for what I see that catches my eye

Im looking for things that are peaceful and unique
Gods creation is all over just waiting for me to stop and look
If I walk too fast I might miss a wonderful sight.
At the end of the day there is a peaceful place
a place without drama and stress
a place just waiting to be discovered
I stop, look twice, focus and click
ahhh another memory saved forever.
