Into the dark and lonely woods I go. Bobcat have been seen in here and there is traces of that fact, but over all it is me alone with the elements.

I took three lens with me – my zoom lens (70-300mm), my composer pro with the twist optic, and the composer pro that I just bought for my daughter with the sweet 50 optic. This image is taken with the twist optic.

In the midst of a swampy area were these 3 beautiful flowers

The narrow depth of field is a favorite of mine and I enjoy finding leaves on the boardwalk railing and getting down close to them.

This little fern felt like a mighty warrior to me.

These berries were probably the most color I saw on the walk.

Spanish Moss was prominent on the walk and here it is framed by the twist effect.

Again getting down low I loved the pop of color on the boardwalk railing

The walk is dark and so it lends to really moody looking images. I loved the way this fern was unfolding.

This dead leaf was directly in front of a open fern. I liked the effect of the background.

There were so many dead ferns along the walkway and I felt that this one had a lot of character.

Another narrow depth of field using the Lensbaby Composer Pro with the sweet 50 optic.

Ferns with the beautiful light behind again using the Lensbaby Composer Pro with the sweet 50 optic.

While the old ferns are dying new life is happening and this little fern is ready to take on the world, or at least the walkway.

Dead leaves and beautiful backgrounds. This image was taken with the Lensbaby Composer Pro and the sweet 50 optic.

Another dead fern this time taken with the Lensbaby Composer Pro and twist optic

This is perhaps my favorite, using the narrow depth of field that I so love, and coupling it with the Lensbaby Composer Pro and twist optic. I loved that the leaf is sharp and the effects are spiraled.

I am at the end of the walk. I am tired, my limp is probably more pronounced, my foot is sore, but this little leaf reminds me that progress is like a creeper, you keep at it until you reach the end. The end is not anytime soon, but hopefully there is an end in sight.
