After three years this month, on gardenpath, I have decided a photo journal would work best for me, now. When I started blogging, I really thought I would have  mostly a garden blog, with maybe a bit of cooking and quilting thrown in. Lately though, my paths have lead in other directions. Most of the photos I take now are of nature and related subjects. I will still post photos from my  flower and herb gardens, and  the wildflower project I started last summer. That isn’t going to change, just the main focus of the blog.

Please visit me here, four winds photo journal, and if you come today, it will be a short visit since I have only completed one entry. I have been working on it all day, but you know all that other stuff you have to do takes a lot of time! And, I still have not added all my links, so don’t worry if you don’t see your site there, it will be.

Another drive-by shot, from a ride last week up the coast. I was aiming at the duck but after I got the photo up on the screen, I saw that the duck was not the most interesting thing in the photograph. Click on photo to see a larger view.

egret

This is a small portion of a photo that I snapped out the van window with my Nikon d200, as we passed. I had  been looking for herons, but didn’t see any, so was glad to get a shot at this egret. it was quite far away, and done so quickly that it was a little blurry. Just the kind of photo I like to fiddle with! I painted it in Photo Studio, textured it (sandstone) in Corel, and then framed it in iWorks pages using a background from Keynote.  The marsh  is still dressed in winter colors, but I like that for this shot.

wave

We spent part of Sunday afternoon at Two Lights state park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine watching the ducks play in the surf.  The sky was cloudy, and we could see rain showers moving off in the distance,  but we  stayed dry until we got in the van to leave the park.
