The ditch was full of water, upon which floated fallen white pine needles and half-submerged leaves (mostly red maple).

Yep, great shot. They are the sort of shots that in the past I would have walked straight past unless it jumped out and bit me. Since this forum was established (thanks @Steve ), my whole way of looking at photography has changed.

Now, now, now -- don't fight.

Thanks all. This isn't really what I'd usually call "scenery", but it's one of those things you see in the natural world that just cries out to be photographed -- so I did and liked the results.

After a lifetime of convincing terro tourists that's there's more to see in the deserts of Australia than they imagine, nah, it's my brain that needs to change. Being on time limited schedules, one couldn't stop every 5 minutes to take photos. These days I can actually slow down and stop for anything I like and take beautiful shots like Woody has done. Need to slow that old brain down, open the eyes & see the possibilities. Macro and macro like shots finally get a chance to enter my world of photography. :)

@Woody Meristem. All's good, no fighting. But you already know this. ;) Callie has a son who lives in Oz, so he has been indoctrinated into how the Aussie mind thinks and always jokes. Even though we have never met face to face, I would like to think we have a mutual way of thinking and understanding. 🤣🤣🤣

In my books, it's definitely scenery. It's what I referred to above as "macro like". Imagine a macro landscape of @clippy's shot from yesterday. :cool::)(y)

Into The Woods

Heading into the woods in search of small birds this past weekend. I only had a long lens with me so I shot this with my phone.

I would tend to go with the yellow above.;) We stop for anything, any place in the parks; not so safe on our roads. We started bird watching about 25 years ago and it has totally changed the way we look at things. Nature is just SO incredible, and life is SO short. If not for this virus, then we were nearly on our way to Gold Coast for two month. Were so looking forward to seeing the summer migrants . . . Will look for an old image for you that is reminiscent of this beauty above!
