A Walk in Stewart County Park
July 1st 2020 - Stewart Hike I took a walk carrying with me one of my favorite lenses (Canon EF 135mm f/2L) for a stroll in Stewart County Park this morning. The angled morning sun illuminated a number of small details that caught my eye as I took in this little oasis for my sanity. I would stroll to a spot and then slowly work my way into the image I wanted to capture. At one point a noted a walker out with her dog. I tried to slip off a side trail leaving the main trail to them. I had thought I was alone and was very focussed on capturing some light playing on blackberries. When I stopped shooting I realized she was not far from me, waiting patiently for me to finish. I slipped off into the brush so she could pass carefully. Unfortunately her companion seemed to slip off the leash just then, either saw a squirrel or got a load of my ugly mug and took off the other way. All the woman said was is a quiet, “Oh dear…” and walked off after it. I resumed my slow stroll down the path I had chosen and then this little bunch of grass heads decorated with a few strands of silk, pearls of dew hanging like ornaments. Had that dog not run the other way they’d have passed through before me. Guess I got lucky but I do hope she caught her pooch.
