From the Series, Beyond the Barbs by John StokesNikon D40. July 21st. 10:20am.
55-200mm lens at 200mm. Shutter speed 16 at 5.6. Cloudy white balance.
Center weight. Program mode.
On my way back to the vehicle, I went through one of my favorite sections in the park, the Eagle trail. This section goes through a thickly forested canopy of cypress and various hardwoods and is quite swampy. Along the trail are ferns and other plants. I decided to stop, get off the mountain bike and walk along.
These dried leaves resting on ferns caught my eye. They reminded me of little chairs used by fairies to oversee the forest.
We need to recover the capacity of the child to see again angels,unicorns and fairies. We live too rationally. We are void of mystery, of wonder, of awe.
It is OK to dream, to go beyond the barbs of your rational thinking. You just may find not only a little fairie, but a mighty still,small voice calling you.
