I never get tired of photographing the weathered stone walls in our neighbourhood. Every time I look at them, I see new abstract designs and patterns created by their talented builders. However, I was drawn to this natural stone wall mainly because of its earthy colours, which are the result of Mother Nature's artistry.

When something catches my attention while I'm strolling around with my camera, I often become so immersed in the present moment that it seems as if the flow of time has stopped altogether. This feeling came over me recently when I happened to look up and was struck by the beauty of these glowing autumn leaves still clinging to the branches of a maple tree.

When autumn arrives, this dogwood tree that grows in our front yard undergoes a complete transformation as its long, elegant leaves slowly change from green to crimson. Every time I look at them, I'm reminded that I don't really have to venture far from home to enjoy nature's beauty.

Every year, I photograph these flowers when they bloom in my back yard. I always make sure that everything is nice and sharp before pressing the camera's shutter button. However, this year I purposely blurred the focus in order to create an impressionistic effect that conveys the dreaminess of midsummer.
