Bane of photographer
Mobility issues
Influencing options
*
Except photography itch
Hard to deny
Throws out its call
Changing seasons
Whispers to the soul
Hard to resist
Long drive
Riding out the pain
Yearning for quiet hideaway
Reach final destination
Except others intrude on the space
Undeterred
Camera in hand
Except battery dies
Adventure suddenly ends
Except I did get a few
Hopefully redemption next year

Thank-you, Ann-Christine. Not a quiet hideaway that day, except worth the few moments to breathe in nature. 🙂

That darn battery. I hate when that happens, but I also understand the itch to get out and photograph. Those images are really beautiful.

Thank-you, Kerfe. Life can be challenging enough without physical issues. It’s definitely put a hamper on my photography.

Such joys do help us move. Beautiful autumn scenes. I love the red red maple leaves.

Thank-you, Janice. ❤ Yes, autumn colors do encourage one to get out into nature. Those were the last of the reds. Went out a bit late this season.

It was especially pleasurable to see those reds because that kind of a colour is rare near my current home (and I’m not straying far lately) while in Ottawa and Toronto, homes of my past, there is usually a feast of such colour.

Thank-you so much, Tina. I’ve been watching the season change from my balcony, but needed to get out there in person for my own battery recharge. 🙂
