Weathered Vine

Sometimes you just have to slow down to find an image. I was walking along a trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and it happened. I got "photographers block". My vision was drawing a blank on what to shoot so I sat down in the middle of the trail. I started thinking what one of my college art professors might say at this moment of creative block. It came to me , limit my search for something interesting within this small area that I had arbitrarily picked. As I looked around there it was. This small vine with these beautiful curving lines that reminded me of a pen and ink drawing. By using a small lens opening I was able to isolate the vine from the rest of the somewhat chaotic forest floor. LynnFreeny.com
