Wanderer
I came across a picture from earlier this Spring, taken on a Sunday afternoon.
It was a self portrait I took in my neighbor's field on one of my walks through the woods.
I had an image in my head, of someone walking away from a camera shot. Curious to try it, I set my digital camera on timer on a stump near a line of trees, then proceeded to walk away with my walking stick that I carved years ago. When I got the shot that I wanted, I wandered on through the woods, to a pond inhabited by snapping turtles, as well as Canada geese.
When I got back, I named the shot, "Wanderer." With a quote by J.R.R Tolkien in mind, "Not all those who wander are lost."
I truly believe that. You have to wander, to find what you were looking for, even if you never knew you were searching for it. You have to lose your path, but you know that you are not lost.
