The recent beautiful weather and the quietness of our “now” home have allowed Bonnie and I to leave our dog, Maggie, and explore some of the surrounding areas. Of course, I do so with a camera strapped across my shoulder. When you’re with the right person you have two pairs of eyes to spot those passing photographic opportunities.
Being outside and normally alone, I don’t wear a mask under these circumstances, but there’s always one in my pocket. I’ve noticed a “Cronolook” that’s exchanged with other walkers/trekkers you meet along walking paths these days. Each does a quick check, do they have a mask, do they look well, and then there’s the move to pass quickly and as far apart as possible. You can tell by watching and following their eyes and I know I do it.
The photo above is of a vine experiencing a very colorful autumn leaf shedding. I increased the color saturation only slightly. It was located along a footbridge at the edge of a clearing, in the shade with a very bright sunny background. Not the best photographic situation but I’ll take it. :-)
I can certainly see how this color gradient of leaves caught your eye Earl. Good to see that you two are able to get away for a few moments into the woods!
It’s good to get out a more and not feel it’s a hardship for Maggie. Thanks, Mark.
I experience the same thing when walking. Some will put the mask on before we cross paths then take them off once we pass. I’ve met some who move off the path completely. And, each leaf in the image is uniquely its own self.
It’s good to know it’s not just me who’s seeing this new trail etiquette. :-)
Thanks, Monte.
