i'm glad your photography is contributing to your health .. i find photography is a marvellous meditation and a way to really connect with the world around you .. we are so lucky to have this excellent and incredibly wonderful 'interest' ..
i say 'interest' coz in my case photography is more like a obsession ... fortunately it's also a meditation so it sort'v balances out ... there's a therapy element in there too, but unfortunately the therapy has got way out'v control .. my therapy has become like a problem behaviour !! :).. i think i sound insane .. :)

Painted Sunset

i'm totally with you about the running .. the only time i run is when i'm trying to get an excellent shot .. and that's the honest truth .. the thing is, i find myself running quite a lot ...!!
sunrises and sunsets are sooooooo quick ... you see it, and think 'OMG thats so absolutely beautiful' .. of course you have your camera with you which is like an extension of your own body .. but unfortunately you then realise that altho the sunrise/set is the most amazingly beautiful thing you've ever seen, the scene sucks .. thats when the ability to run very very fast comes in incredibly handy .. !! ..
i'm thinking as i write this that a bit'v training might be a very good thing .. not for my health but so that i'm that much quicker ... of course with the added advantage of speed, i might be able to get that elusive 7+ in a challenge or a ribbon .. and i'm not talking brown .. it'd be good if i could put that in a photograph for the 'dream' challenge .. coz it's certainly 'in my dreams' .. !!:):)

edit to say .. i got carried away talking about the running and forgot to say that i love the beautiful colours in this sunset & i love how the image is sort'v divided by the sky and the silhouette of the trees ... excellent .. :)

omg .. this is another beautiful flower pic .. i'm not THAT into pics of flowers but the three you've put in for today are awesome .. really really beautiful ... i will have to go to a florist who's preparing for a wedding !! coz there's no way i'd have such a gorgeous collection of flowers in my own house, altho the local florist might be the go .. i think you've converted me to liking photographs of flowers .. :):) .. but i've gotta say i still like photographs of other things more !!

this is totally awesome .. such a perfect combination of colours, dark and light, and saturation .. just beautiful .. :) .. i can see why you like pics of 'plants' more than hairdressers ... the plants are, after all, less dangerous !!!!!!!! :):)
