My place to slow down and relax is anywhere where I can enjoy the beauty and quietness of the outdoors.
My favorite time of day to be out with my camera is at sunrise. The quietness of morning helps settle my soul. Macro photography forces me to slow down to notice the tiniest of details. Finally, hiking is what started my love of photography by getting me out the door to explore the trails.
Two other Hawaiian landscapes were featured in “Feel the Breeze.”

Welcome to the first weekly challenge for One Step at a Time. For this adventure, I didn’t stray too far from home. The Deer Run Trail at Kensington Metropark is an easy 1.5 mile hike on a natural surface. Along the way, I was guided in the right direction by a fellow walker, a sandhill crane (pictured below).
Join in on this challenge by posting a link and/or pingback on the comments below. Guidelines for the challenge can be found here.
