As I take my daily walks I'm trying to be more, well... "present." Deepak Chopra, a pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine, says its important. The bottom line is...it's all about spiritual wellness. For a good part of my life I haven't been "present." I was either worrying about something that's already happened or wondering about the something that might happen in the future. So, I've been taking my camera along for my walks and I snapped a few "present" shots of one of our oak trees as it began to leaf out this spring. I wondered just HOW the leaves developed so I took a few progression shots. They're such magnificent trees, some of them probably over a hundred years old. Yet, every year with the advent of spring, they renew the cycle of life by shooting out thousands of leaves and acorns. I love my oak trees...
...now, back to my walk!
