Finding Beauty in Small Steps

in PhotoFeed3 months ago

Being sick for weeks isn’t exactly the most exciting chapter in anyone’s life. But the previous weekend, the weather was calling, and I couldn’t resist the urge to step outside, even though my body wasn’t fully on board with the idea.

Armed with my camera and a heavy dose of determination, I went for a walk. It wasn’t a grand trek—more like a shuffle with frequent pit stops every 500 meters. But in those small, slow steps, I found moments of beauty that made it all worthwhile.

Fungi clinging to tree trunks, vibrant leaves scattered like nature’s confetti, and even a lone berry clinging to life on a thorny branch—it all felt like a reminder to notice the small things, even when you’re not at your best.

Sure, I wasn’t running a marathon (I was barely walking one mile), but I came home with a memory card full of stunning photos and a little more gratitude for the healing process.

Sometimes, it’s okay to go slow. You might still surprise yourself with what you find.

Yay for slow walks in nature, and gorgeous photos from the adventure! You really did capture some glorious shots, @borniet! A fea days ago I had to move many thousands of photos from my phone to my computer (*or one installation of Arch Linux *), because I ran out of room in internal storage...lol! So many photos! Now I can take a few thousand more! Yahooey! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yay for talking more photo’s!!!! :-D !LOLZ
Thanks! Yeah, although the walk itself was a complete disaster, I did enjoy the act of photographing, and the photographs themselves afterwards :-)
Got plenty more coming in the next weeks btw ;-)
And yup, storage is always an issue with photography, I’m at about 100Tb now I believe, everything combined :-D

Exactly, I heartily agree! Of course, you're ever so welcome! Photography makes everything better, especially when you get some killer shots! Awesomeness, I very much look forward to seeing them! Haha...yep, it sure is, and it's wild how quickly it disappears! 100TB?!? Holy moly, the hard drives with my Arch installations are only 1TB! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, over 20 yrs of professionally photographing does add up of course :-) I have a closet full of harddrives of 1-5Tb each :-D

Well, you've definitely got some time on me! I've only been so deeply into photography for around 3 years, since it was Hive that got me into it...lol! Wowzers! Given how quickly I've accumulated photos, I can certainly see how you would have so many, and I've never done it professionally! Wild to the max indeed! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

"Slow and steady wins the race", so the saying goes. You took the bold step to answer nature's call by taking the walk, even though it was for a short distance, and you came home rejuvenated, fulfilled and grateful. Nothing beats the healing power of nature. And the pictures are indeed a beautiful collection.
