As Autumn faded and Winter is now upon us, and the cold air greets me, I decided to head to Malmsbury to catch the beautiful gold colours before they disappeared, it was such a cold day and the warmth of the car was so lovely after having the cold breeze upon my face.
I looked around but no one was in site, I suspected they were all huddled around the open fire of the local hotel.
Smoke swept across to me in the breeze and the smell was lovely from one of the local old houses, as it rose up into the sky.
The ducks waddle around on the edge of the lake, a few braved the cold to take a swim, bobbing their heads up and down to see what lay in the water to eat. As we neared them they looked at us with fear in their eyes, then waddle away as fast as they could.
I walked around for about 1/2 hour taking in the crisp cool air as beloved followed behind, crunching his feet on the gold, orange and green leaves that lay on the ground, as he talked about running through the leaves as a child. We both had that moment which took us back in time, that time when innocence only prevailed.
I am very fortunate and grateful that I have such a patient husband, who is happy to go on my photo adventures with me, he never complains and I thank him for that.
I felt a bit uneasy with my camera as I am only learning how to use my new Canon 77D which I recently purchased. I am back in the learning curve again, like when I got my very first Canon camera years ago. and I suppose when it comes to my camera, I am a little bit of a perfectionist and if I can't do my best, I feel really let down in my abilities. With photos you have to do the best you can because what you capture could change in an instant and that moment could be lost for ever.
Photography for me, is a way for me to go into another world, to see things differently, taking me to another place far away from my troubles for a few hours, seeing the beauty of a tiny leaf on the ground looking at a raindrop which has fallen on a crisp golden leaf or even the ripple on the ocean as the waves roll in over the sand.
As I see the reflection of the viaduct bridge reflecting in the river, with the big golden and yellow trees casting their shadows over the bridge onto the water.
Here are a few pictures I took when I was in Malmsbury here in Victoria, a little over a month ago. Truly one of the most magical places you can visit in Autumn. I wonder if there are fairies hiding behind one of the trees?
