On the road again, though you wouldn't know it from this photo. As many years as we've tried to find a fawn on our acreage, I had to come all the way across the country to have the chance to see, and photograph, one. My daughter and I were sitting looking out the window in the middle of the day, and there they came, walking across the back yard. I have lived on 40 acres and spent hours walking and looking and waiting, yet I can cross the country to a home in the suburbs and see one in the back yard the day after I arrive. This does not seem right! 
One of the things I really like about traveling is finding those pockets of local color, still life unique to these different surroundings. A couple of days ago we visited a lovely little town nearby, where I found a number of things to photograph. Just look at the colors and textures in this photo, taken outside a shop which looked just as inviting as this colorful display.
Another thing I like is finding texture and pattern behind the color. The stones of this building were warm and brown, yet by removing this color you see the architecture better, I think, and the benches jump out at you.
Though we are actually waiting for a new baby, there is time to explore and refresh and take time to photograph new surroundings. I needed a creative refresher and am enjoying this opportunity to grab some new shots.
What are you photographing right now?
