It seems as though my summer hiking season is rapidly nearing its final days. It’s kind of a sad time for me since summer hiking is my favorite. But fall is just around the corner and that’s a nice time to hike and a wonderful time to do photography as well. And then there’s my new-found love of winter hiking/snowshoeing. So it’s all good. But I can’t help but feel a little wistful about summer coming to an end.
On the positive side, though, is that maybe I’ll get a little bit of a break from the incessant post-processing of the thousands of photographs I’ve taken during the summer. And maybe I’ll have some time to expand my photographic horizons beyond wildflowers, lakes and mountains. From a creative standpoint, I pretty much get stuck in a single mode during the summer. When I went on the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk last month, I found that I was completely uninspired because I couldn’t manage to drag myself out of nature/landscape photography mode. So I’m looking forward to having the time to expand my creativity and hone my photography skills.

Enjoy the rest of your summer (or winter, if you’re in the southern hemisphere)!
