Porte Ponderings:
Sometimes it’s just the timing. Last year my sister and I were walking along the path in the local Conservation Area. The skies were black. Then suddenly a beam of sunlight hit the willow trees turning them a rich golden colour and letting me catch it on my new camera. 😉

Porte Ponderings:
Maybe my favorite photos are taken when I’m wandering alone? The one I chose for today’s quote was taken early in the morning in my local conservation area. I’ve never seen a goose nesting in a tree before. She watched me carefully from her lofty perch. I later ran into another person on the trail who said the goose was also there a year ago. So I missed seeing the unique goose last year. How many other people walked past her?
I was lucky enough to go one a hike, by myself in Cuba and see the bats. No one else I was traveling with wanted to hike, let alone see bats. For me it was a unique experience. I’m glad I’m brave enough or stupid enough to hike alone. 😉
