I love getting up close to things with my little camera and seeing what comes up on the screen when I edit the photos - there's always a surprise there, something I didn't see when I was taking the photo. And photography helps us to slow down in general - it's hard to hurry through a walk or a bike ride if you're stopping to take photos. I think the stopping makes the journey more valuable, even if it takes us a little longer to get where we're going.... :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-51913296396567546282016-11-08T02:01:18.120+01:002016-11-08T02:01:18.120+01:00I feel the same way as you.
