Interpreting Nature

People can interpret nature in different ways and get different things out of it.... But overall, I believe it's beneficial to study nature....  One of my favourite topics is organic gardening, and I'll save that for another time....

Quotation--10

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."    Albert Einstein

Updated Categories

Would like to invite people to look over my entire blog....  There's a list of Labels in the side-bar with different sections, which I've updated....  People can choose any and all categories that appeal to them....  Myself, I find the fall photos to be the most special and unique but I like the other photos, too.

Since I'm not posting photos or comments on a regular, daily or weekly basis I encourage people to visit my blog any time; and they can use the Labels to navigate their way.  Ideally, people would start by reading the Introduction or at least include it in their browsing, if possible....

A Non-Threatening Environment

The nature photos in this blog are very non-threatening to people with PTSD, like first-responders and military people, in my opinion.  When I have time, I intend to promote my blog more.... Perhaps some sexual abuse or assault and sexual harassment survivors would like it, also...if they're not intimidated by discussions about anger issues...?  [Have heard that sometimes they can be....  But people can choose what they wish to look at in the blog....]

The Cameras I've Used

The cameras I used for most of the earliest photos in this blog were a 110-size instamatic--I don't recall the brand--and also disposable cameras which contained 35 mm film....  Then I was able to buy a used Minolta SLR camera from a second-hand store.  The salesman said it was in "pristine condition" and I enjoyed using it for a number of years, even though I had only one lens...and a tripod.

In 2003, the Minolta company joined with Konica; and in 2006, I believe they sold their camera division to SONY.   www.sony.ca

There came a day when I accidentally dropped my Minolta camera on the ground and wasn't able to repair it....  I used some disposable cameras again, for a little while, and they weren't identified as 35 mm or anything special, that I recall...?  I also don't remember the brand names....  Then I got an Olympus Digital e-420 camera and I've enjoyed using it....  It has both automatic and manual focus options on it....   www.getolympus.com

Have never actually taken a photography class but I've learned on my own from books, somewhat; and I belonged to a camera club for a while, as an online member....  It seems the club is no longer functioning, at this time.  In the distant past, I also took a commercial floral-design course by correspondence; and all the teaching designs were simple drawings within frames.--I learned some principles of design on paper, which was similar to looking at photographs....  Even though flower arrangements are different from photos, of course....  But you never know where you can learn from...and if you get started, you can learn as you go along...!

A Nature Charity

Have been hearing some ads for a nature charity on one of my favourite radio stations which is New Classical FM--www.classical963fm.com.  

The charity is called "The Nature Conservancy of Canada"--www.natureconservancy.ca.  This seems to be a reputable agency which helps to conserve nature areas in Canada, as the name suggests....  Myself, I've sent them a cheque in the mail recently.  If other people would like to support them, also, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
