a winter walk

a few weeks ago we had almost no snow! i went for a little walk and shot some photos…

i really love using my sunglasses as a color filter in front of my camera lens.

especially on winter days, you get this vintage Polaroid effect.

even without it, the woods looked so beautiful! i can hardly believe there were so many leaves on the ground all around.

and i came across this fun shelter someone built. inside, there was room for a fire and two logs rolled to the sides for benches!

everything was so quiet and peaceful.

everything really does just feel so magical with a walk in the woods!

Snapping photos in those places is so inspiring and really keeps me looking and being inspired... Continue reading
