“We must look for a long time before
we can see”.
– Henry David Thoreau
– Henry David Thoreau
What is hiding in your native area? Thoreau says we must
look a long time before we can see. It is easy to walk through and around your
native plants but how closely do you look?
There are times I do not saunter enough with my legs or my
eyes. When I take the time to really see, I usually discover dramas I
could easily miss.
Photographing
is a task that requires my close observation. When I am looking for interesting
subjects or dramas to photograph, I use my binoculars which allows me to view
from one vantage spot and discover hidden subjects.
One day as I was sauntering through a native prairie, I
spotted this sycamore seed (through my binoculars) dangling from the underside
of a Black-eyed Susan. The seed had ridden the wind quite a distance since the
nearest sycamore tree was far away.
