On Saturday, I attended a wonderful nature photography retreat program hosted by The Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict. Sr. Nancy was the facilitator (and the Prioress) and has a long history of experience in photo journalism. Our first assignment was to find a spot in the woods and stay there for 90 minutes taking photograhs staying within only a six foot radius. After lunch, our afternoon assignment was to find one object to photograph from as many angles and perspectives as possible for 90 minutes. I chose a big rock with several fallen trees laying over it. After that I hiked out to Lake Sarah and then headed back deep into the woods to find one of the possible Lakota rock circles Sr. Nancy told us about.
When we all met back at the lodge, we viewed each other's pictures and contemplated choosing five pictures from each student to display in the BAC and possibly sell to benefit the Spirituality Center. Would you help me choose five from this bunch? These are my favorites and I'm having a hard time widdling it down by three.
I like the big tree, ladybug, stumps, daisies, and steps....

Here are my choices for the best five (I only picked four) photos from your photography class and in no particular order: Drum Roll, please- Leaves of Fall, Steps, Big Tree, and Ladybug’s Leaf. The photos were all very good and I enjoyed looking at them. I also enjoyed the Rand House and the Apple Jack Orchard photos. Mom
