BigFoot (now magically transformed into LittleFoot) went for a 300 step walk today. We know because we were wearing a pedometer in-pocket.
And how amazing it was to capture 3 great photos in 300 steps! But I suppose, not so remarkable since I live on the edge of a forest primeval.
Do butterflies mate?
I wonder because there atop a happily blooming Zinnia stood Miss Butterfly joined by a very happy friend (who was actively fluttering as near as he could get). Are they just pals saying, “Hi”, or is there more going on here?
I made a hasty exit in order to give them some privacy.
Then walking along the edge of the forest, there stood an elegant doe.
I am sure she was wondering about the 2-legged critter looking back into those big beautiful eyes. She allowed me time to retrieve camera and click before she turned and leisurely loped back into her wooded glen.
Finally, there was a mountain view I would wish some day to paint.
And although I have taken this shot many times before, each season it becomes more appealing. I always see it as a frame of tree limbs forming a natural vignette for a splendid view of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
I suppose my 300 step, 3 photo walk to exercise the healing BigFoot could be considered mundane. But, I think of it as a magical journey through a little corner of rural Virginia’s wild side.
