On my recent writers' retreat, I was lucky enough to go walking with a friend who is an artist.
She noted how I was attracted to sunburst pictures.
And it's true. I'm frequently taking pictures with the sun shining through the trees or over the horizon.

| I love the lines of light that peek through the forest. |
 |
| The lines of the fallen tree in this one caught my eye. |
 |
| More sunburst in the woods -- different day. |
My artist friend explained that what I needed to do was take pictures of the sun shining on objects instead.
 |
| And she took a picture of me with the sun illuminating my face. |
So as I walked alone in the woods a few days later (see my previous post) when I was sure that a bear wouldn't chase me down, I took some selfies of the sun lighting my face.
 |
| Here's my first selfie attempt. |
 |
I like this one much better with the way the light shines on my eyes.

I'll continue to experiment with light and photography and hope that my pictures get better as I prepare for my move to France.

I think I can still see a trace of fear of the bear in that first attempt! I just read the previous post, man you are one brave mamacita!
Sim, Ha! I always hated to have to get someone to accompany me when I walked across campus at night, and the feeling continues when I'm on a lonely trail by myself. I'm a grown up. I should be able to hike a trail alone.
Thanks for visiting.
