I'm pretty sure this makes me a terrible photographer, but sometimes I leave my camera at home because it's just too heavy, and the reality is that on my way to and from work I really don't much need it. But when I don't have my camera, I will most likely have my phone. When I saw this clip of Annie Leibovitz, I felt slightly better about relying on my phone to be my camera.
I usually ride my bike from my car to work, but on those occasions that I do walk, I make sure to pass through some of my favorite parts of the city. Here are some shots from my walk yesterday.
Prettiest fall wreath.
This is my favorite graveyard in the world. It's so wonderfully overgrown and magical. It's how I think a graveyard should be. A place where you give yourself to eternal life. Take the phrase eternal life however you wish - in a religious context, or in a literally context that your body feeds these beautiful plants. Manicured graveyards seem staid and depressing, mausoleums seem spooky, but this is perfection. A soothing place meant for reflection. It reminds me of a favorite line from the Avett Brothers: "I want to...give my body back to the Earth and not complain."
Prettiest graveyard flower.
