Where Forest Folk Giggle & Dance, Scamper & Prance by

… I really like this shot from yesterday … I liked the green of the trees, the carpet of fallen leaves showing the changing season … I liked the “roominess” in terms of space among the trees … I was standing scanning the area, wishing for a little more light & then I was treated, just briefly, to the sun getting a touch brighter … so I took a shot :)
I showed a friend the images from yesterday and somehow she was enthralled with this one …

“a bit eerie … a bit magical … a bit mystical … I’m not quite sure what it is … … is it the light? … is it something else? … I’m expecting “little folk” to come scampering about … not sure what it is Tina, but this one’s my favourite"

ahhhh … so I had t post it and share it :))

Hope you like it too :)

    Greetings Tina; I am in complete agreement with you and your friend, beautifully captured. Sometimes, learning how to wait, is the real secret of great photographs. And sometimes the gods are with you, listening to your thoughts.
