About cindy habel photography
I am firstly a wife, a mother and then a photographer. I want to be the best wife, mother and photographer I can be! While I have many years experience in all of these things I am still learning and I believe that to learn is to grow.........
I love photography. Timeless photography, like beautiful music and pure emotion, touches something deep within my heart. I love photographing people, architecture and nature. Through photography I can give expression to that inner vision....is this what we call art?
The quote reminds me of the child who couldn’t wait for a rose bud to open. She thought she would hurry it up herself. It made no difference which way she tried, the bud was destroyed and all hope of it becoming a rose was gone.
It is said that experience is a hard teacher because it gives the test first and the lesson afterwards.
As soon as I saw this photo I thought of bugs! And I still do. Childrens story book bugs having their spring carnival. Some catch the caterpillar express, others fly in by dragonfly and yet others fly solo. And of course, the locals drift along on whatever nature has supplied them with.
They meet in that bushy clump in the midddle foreground. Those flying in are guided by the purple flags on the right. The ones traveling on the ground have specific directions emailed to them. Depending on what direction they’re coming from it might read something like this : 15 pebbles past the caved in spider hole, turn right. After 24 grass stalks turn left for 9, and so on.
They’re working on a GPS system but it has a few bugs in it yet!
Enough. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination, but, if you hear a faint sort of “what was that” kind of noise, you’ll know where it’s coming from. A bug’s carnival near you.
