This week Amy invites us to take a walk with our camera. Taking the time to look around at sights which are normally taken for granted. It was shortly after sunrise on a cool, foggy Maine morning when I grabbed the camera for a photo walk.

There are several ponds close to our neighborhood so instinctively I headed there. What a lovely sight. The sun was trying to break through the fog, bright light reflected off marsh grasses and a few ducks out for a morning swim. Ordinally, I would have been in a hurry and missed seeing all these beautiful details.

We live in a golf course community so only a few ducks were out enjoying the nice cool air in the early morning fog.
As I continued walking the sun slowly burned off the fog.
By the time I returned home, the sun was brightly shining overhead welcoming another beautiful day! This was taken behind our house looking across the 17th fairway.
Just before going inside, I couldn’t help but take a few minutes to appreciate the lovely fall colors from plants in our yard.
It was nice to start the morning with a leisurely photo walk, stopping along the way to appreciate nature’s beauty.
Be sure to check out Amy’s beautiful post here as she explores the Cibolo Nature Centers in Boernie, Texas, with her camera.
Last but not least, many thanks to Amy for mentioning my post from last week on Symmetry!
