William's Walk



It's the start of a new series over here in Red Otter land: William's Walk. I'm hoping to bring my camera along with me at least once a week to snap a photo of something I find beautiful or interesting. William is usually strapped to me, via Baby Bjorn, wearing little cotton caps and sockies, on these morning hikes. He's also usually asleep through most of it, but I like to think that he's soaking it up.

I don't know if this has happened to you, but I start looking at the world differently when I have a camera in hand. The simple things become magical! Even if the image doesn't turn out like I want it to, the perspective shift is invaluable.

This is a block or two away from our apartment building, by the way! Isn't is marvelous? I love our morning walks!

i've started carrying my camera with me on my way to and from work, and it really does change your perspective, doesn't it? now i find myself taking alternate routes and little short cuts just to explore more :)

Your new neighborhood is gorgeous. I loved walking with a sleeping baby. So relaxing.
