…and if nature was there then I probably wouldn’t be either! ;-)

Personally, I think that this type of photography is where smartphones are at their best. I don’t think they perform all that well when trying to capture the “grand landscape”. Or people, even. But they do very well, I think, in these semi-abstractions.
These are all very good, Earl. If it were me, I think I’d try the first one in black and white, though. I really like the image, but for me the green distracts a bit.
No pictures like this for me this weekend. Too much of the damned white stuff out there………
Paul, I agree this type of photo seems to be a sweet spot for most phone cameras. Interesting observation about the first photo…I actually desaturated the green in this one because I felt it was overpowering. The original green was extreme.
I hope for a little of the white stuff this winter…but not as much as you guys get.
I particularly love the first image – I feel like I can reach out and touch the soft moss. The different shades of green and blue are fabulous too… wonderful work.
Certainly no shortage of details in nature. I wonder if anyone has ever calculated the amount of mega/Terabytes of info we process on an average walk?
Mark, interesting thoughts. I wonder how much we actually store and how much is simply viewed and discarded.
My goodness, these have a lovely feel to them. Which iPhone do you have? Did you post-process these?
Hi Chis, this was taken with a two generation old iPhone 4 (5mp) and I did do some post-processing of these. Thanks!
Well, the post processing was sublime!
Art in nature is everywhere, even on our walks. Have a good weekend, Earl!

Martina, thanks.
Great textures, Earl. I’m particularly drawn to the second leaf photo, and the lighting.
Hi Jim, thanks!
Very nice shots
