During the COVID lockdown, I took a free online class. Photography lessons, which opened my eyes to see the hidden beauties you normally overlook.

…
I always thought the perfect shot would either present itself or be staged because that’s what I was used to.
…

…
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I knew that, but never really understood.
…

…
I don’t work with different lenses, and I will never be able to take a picture of a dragonfly in flight, because I don’t have what it takes, meaning the lenses, and the equipment.
…

…
And I don’t have the patience to wait for hours, nor do I have the time, because so far, time is still money, meaning I have to make a living.
…

…
I have an eye for fabrics and color compositions, at work. I like to play with textures and paints, and I love to push boundaries.
…

…
Nature gives us all that, especially in autumn, when the colors and the light change for a couple of months.
…

…
The perfect shot, the ideal picture is everywhere.

Your skills are very evident, capturing life in the moment. Beautiful. I love all the photos. Thanks for sharing these today.
WOW! These are wonderful! I especially love the multicolored leaves with the white background!
Beautiful images, Bridget. You have a good eye. 🙂
It surely is, and you have some beauties here.
Thank you, Jo. How is autumn in Portugal?
Very mild right now, Bridget, but it’s set to change.
Excellent pictures. I don’t get involved with lenses, even though I have belonged to a camera club for years! Now I have only my phone; looking out all the time for interesting ( quick ) shots is the fun part.
I thought I needed lenses and equipment to take good pictures, but just like you, I take most of my pictures with my phone these days. Thank you.
Your confidence in colour composition certainly shines through here Bridget. A lovely selection.
Autumn gives us a great variety of colors to work with every year. It’s not me 🙂
You are too modest!
Very wonderful pictures. I love the composition of each one. You have a great eye for photography. 😊
Thank you, Yinglan. I am so pleased you liked the pictures.
You’re welcome. 🙂
Lovely compositions! I see photo possibilities all around me each day, the next photo could be right in front of you, keep looking for them! ❤️😊
Thank you, John. I take too many pictures. I should do a weekly photo dumb 🙂 You are right, the next picture is aways right in front of us, or on the side, or behind, or above 🙂
You’ve got it! Happy shooting! 😎👍🏻
Some fabulous shots here. Well done. I enjoy taking pictures but it is usually hit and miss and I have no patience to wait for hours (or minutes) for the perfect shot.
I have a large collection of ‘miss pictures’ mostly when I try to take pictures of the dogs or other animals, pets or wildlife. They just don’t hold still no matter what I tell them. They don’t accept any form of bribe either.
Lovely images and yes the last one is fantastic.
Thank you, Rupali. It’s always good to see you in my comment section.
It looks like you have some talent. I love photography and taking photos.
What a nice comment. Thank you, Poetpas.
Welcome!
I love that last shot!
Well, I love all of them, but the last one with the person in it speaks to me.
I’m same. I love them all. But that last photo, I keep looking at. 😊
Thank you, Liz. How interesting that you like the last one the most.
I just seem to be drawn to it and it’s an excellent photo with the angle of how you taken it .
You seem to be in good company. I am surprised that so many like it best. Hmmm
I find it fascinating as well, it was taken when someone had to tie the shoes. 🙂
