What is it about a subject or object that causes you to take out your camera capturing that moment for eternity? Is it the way the light reflects off an object that captivates you? Perhaps it is the pale hues in the evening sky that draw your attention. Maybe you notice a unique looking flower or insect that will make an excellent subject for a macro photography capture. Whatever it is that causes you to take out your camera, is something you feel has untapped potential to become a magnificent moment.

Why Do You Photograph Certain Shots?
I enjoy capturing the rainbow colored sky as the sun sets.
You need to photograph things that appeal to you, keeping your eyes alert for brief moments of unique beauty. Nature is constantly presenting perfect opportunities to capture breathtaking beauty.
An amazing display of beauty and color from the sun and light.
When searching for photography opportunities in nature, sometimes you have to alter your perspective to achieve the perfect shot. Immerse yourself among the grass to find hidden treasures.
Gorgeous mushrooms in a circular shape dwell among blades of grass.
Vibrant colored flowers attract the attention of bees!
Sometimes we take a photograph simply because we are amazed by the simple elegance of nature. We want to have the picture to savor that exact moment in time, allowing that memory of a place to stay forever pure and uneffected in our minds. Those are my favorite types of captures!
The natural beauty found in a park!
Colors only Mother Nature could infuse with this degree of vibrancy!

Yellow = Happiness
Sunny colored flowers soak up sun
The color yellow always seems to brighten up a dreary day just by the sight of the sunny hue. Yellow adds a lightness, a sense of positivity, when one feels down. How can a color possibly improve your mood? I challenge you to look at a photo of a field of sunflowers and not relax at the sight. Yellow encourages our brains to produce feel good endorphins which flood our bodies giving the sensation of happiness if only for a short time.
Cheerful pompom shaped flowers capture the eye
Perhaps the correlation between the color yellow and the brilliant sunshine have something to do with the happiness we feel upon spying objects colored completely in yellow. Sunny days bring the opportunity to venture outdoors, enjoying activities only able to be performed outside. When we see the bright sun shining high in the sky, we know we can venture outdoors to the limitless horizon. We feel free and unhindered by the shackles of daily life. So therefore the connection between the radiant sun and our sense of freedom goes hand and hand with one another.
Golden yellow sunshine glows from the sun's core
The hue of yellow brings to mind smilely faces, and bright moments in life. Yellow is a shade that should be celebrated! I have included a poem about the positive aspects of the color that I chose to include here.
YELLOW IS MY MOOD
Happiness fills my heart with joy
dark clouds scatter away
sapphire sky shines brilliantly
sun appears to light the day
Opening the door to blinding light
cast from beams above
cautiously venturing out of doors
pursuing activities I love
Light winds slightly bend flower heads
as if clamoring for attention
I construct a garland of dandelions
curling stems with intense definition
Sitting amongst yellow blossoms
helps improve my attitude
sunny flowers born from Earth are why
yellow is my favorite mood.

Varying Perspectives - a Chastushka styled poem
Today I wanted to share a different form of poetry known as a Chastushka where the end rhymes of the first and third line rhyme with each other and the second and fourth line end rhymes rhyme. This poem is only four lines in total and usually about a subject in nature. The final line in a Chastushka is written to make the reader think about the poem overall.

Silently studying birds alighting upon the pavement
my gaze is met by a feathered friend who cocks his head
our eyes lock in an intense gaze, opponents sizing up the competition
the question on my mind is am I observing him, or is he watching me?
Now that's something to ponder next time a bird glances your way! Hope this Chastushka poem intrigued you somewhat and if you enjoyed it or have comments please rate the post or comment on this piece! Have a lovely day all!
