Disco Balls in Nature - Set 2

In my backyard waterfall... I liked the bubbles!

Again, in the waterfall.

I liked the way the water continued falling as the ball began to drop.

At the top of the waterfall before it fell (I guess this is a little out of order!)

All of the Trilliums died... Already... So I decided to put a disco ball in what was left over.

In a tree...

I will NEVER do this again... Maybe

I blinded myself for this picture. What I didn't realize... Is that even though you're looking through the lense, you're still staring directly at the sun and possibly even worse. So... I took a whole bunch of these pictures... trying to get the sun right. I took the camera down... I could barely see out of my right eye!!! I was like "uh oh!"

So in other words, I wouldn't suggest doing this at home.

But my gosh, I LOVE the Sun... It's so pretty.

R.I.P Trilliums :(

This was taken after my walk.... And I was sitting on the deck when this thing started rubbing my head. Turns out it was the tree, and it looked kinda funky, so I grabbed my camera and pointed up.

OH NO! My Trilliums seem to be all dying - I didn't know they died so early in the year!!!

Tree leaf - I actually love this one!

I thought this was kind of an interesting shot. What do you think?

Just another "through the trees" shot to add to my collection. As you've noticed, throughout adding pics to this blog, I've taken a bunch of pictures through this tree and you can see just how the forest has matured overtime.

Maple leaf :)

I liked this one. Because the tree is in focus, but the colourful background isn't - amazing how much the forest has filled in in the last couple of weeks. BEAUTIFUL

I love Trilliums, I'm sure you've already figured that out though.

This is why I need a macro (or close up) lense... But isn't he cute... Kind of?

Queen's University Pictures

It's been a while! I went to Queen's University in Kingston for a week for a program called E=MC2. Last year, I went for the photography (Hey, that's the reason I'm into photography today)... but this year I went for a different course. Anyways. Believe it or not, my camera and I didn't really spend as much time together as I'd expected (that sounds kinda strange)... I was so busy and having so much fun!

Anyways... Here's a couple pics.

Flower. Close up.

Library stairs. I fell in love the moment I saw 'em!

I don't know, I just thought it was kind of nice :)

Typical me, I found a squirrel. They're so much more photogenic than people!

Disco Balls in Nature - Set 1

We are the disco ball.

Spinning continuously, but not really advancing. With time, becoming more apparent, more damaging and less attractive.

Our souls reflect nature and the world around us. The disco ball reflects the room engulfing it.

It reflects light, brightly blinding anyone who stares at it. We reflect destruction, ruining most of what we come into contact with.

While we advance technologically, we fall further behind in noticing the world around us. As the disco ball continues to reflect light, it becomes normal and less noticeable to those around it.

It is untouchable. We are losing grip.

Disco balls in nature?! What an unusual Sight!

Hard to mix nature with an object such as this. It's not normal, it's unusual, it's unexpected. There is a thin divide between the disco ball and the world around it.

Might I remind you, we are the disco ball?

This is the description of a very large series of photos I have begun working on. The disco ball is a metaphor for the human in so many ways, only few were mentioned above. Every once in a while, I'll upload some photos from the "Disco balls in Nature" Series.

Psst... Insider Secret: Those disco balls are Christmas Tree ornaments.

This photo won 3rd place at my public library. I liked how the greens of the forest were reflected on the disco ball.
