1. Lakeview
"Fall Lake Painting"
This picture is taken of a Independence Lake, park near my house. I have always gone to this lake since I can remember. There is a pathway around the whole park, and as I was walking it I dropped something and looked up and I saw this beautiful frame. As a swimmer, I just love water and this is just one of my favorite lakes. The leaves around this time fall into the lake and around and it makes the water so pretty. The colorful trees outline the lake and it looks gorgeous.
2. Pathway
"Weeping Willow Pathway Painting"
This picture was also taken at the same park. I love the path and the contrast of the weeping willow, showing the motion of the image and life in general. Pathways have a certain mystique to them. They mean a lot about the future and how sometimes we don't know exactly what to expect but turns in the road and beauty along the way. One of my favorite things to take pictures of is pathways and nature and the contrast between each other.
3. Creeksides
"Lighting in a Creeklake Painting"
The creek feeds right into the lake and the sound is so peaceful. Water has always been one of my favorite things and it has so many forms--lake, creek, ocean, pool, drinking water, river, rain, and so much more. I was walking around the park and I just had to capture this. The trees sticking into the water, the flow of the creek, the beautiful grass, the treeline, the colors-- just beauty. Nature is gorgeous and capturing it all is one of my favorite things to do.
4. Leaves
"Leaves in the Sky Painting"
I look up at the colorful leaves and my camera captures something incredulous. I had to focus my camera up to get the definition of the leaves then it all came into place. It was a little windy so I had to wait a minute for things to calm down, but it worked out. To me, it looks like these leaves just came out of a movie. The first image I titled "Leaves in Surround Sound" because the leaves have this effect of being surrounded by leaves and being encapsulated by something with pure beauty, like music in surround sound.
5. Trees (daytime)
"The Difference of Trees Creates Beauty Painting"
I was driving home from my friends house and I was jamming out to music and creating a list (in my head) of all the things I need to do-- this assignment being one of them. I stopped the car and took this photo while standing on the seat, with my head out the sunroof. Although I wasn't listening to this song, "Sunroof" by Nicky Youre & dazy, it reminds me of this. The trees and nature make me feel free and so does driving and it is all just a wonderful feeling.
