The rains came down.
Mother Earth smiled again. ~Slight adaptation of Carl Sigman.
Photography is not something I can force. And for weeks now I haven't felt the slightest inclination to photograph anything. Do you ever have long dry spells like this?
But after endless weeks of hot sultry days and sleepless summer nights, gentle sweet rain has blessed the earth of Sydney once again. And waking to the soft sounds of rain and the fragrance of the earth: I knew it was time for a mini-holiday.
I set off, not knowing exactly where I was going. It didn't matter as long as I could walk in the rain again ~ With my Sony.
I had the feeling that wherever I went, it was going to be magical. I was heading towards the local lake, but thought I'd just take a quick detour to see if the dried creek bed was flowing again.
Short story because the longer one is still coming.
Within moments I was no longer in 'familiar' bushland, but an Enchanted Forest radiating more magic that a mere mortal like myself could possibly breathe in.
I'm making a short video from the photographs taken of my journey, crossing the swollen creek to the opposite escarpment. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy the beauty of this rose that I saw along the way.
