Blackberry Season

It's Blackberry season again in the Pacific Northwest...and they are delicious once they lose their red color and stay black for 3-4 days...yumm!
(I shot this using my Singh Ray -Tony Sweet Pro-Mist Filter.

NIKON D800 1/160 second F/5.6 ISO 6400 200 mm (35mm equiv.)

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"

Love the misty effect and they look beautifully ripe and juicy. When I lived in Europe many a year ago, it was always a sign during my mountain excursions with my parents that summer school holidays were inevitably coming to an end. School always started on the first day of September.

@Darkelf Photography: Thank you Maciek! That is a great story! Where I lived in Southern Colorado as a little kid, we sometimes hads ow shortly after the start of school as our town sat in a valley but it was at 7,000 feet elevation!! ;-)

Michael Skorulski from Toronto, Canada

Yes, this reminds me of how good they are when they are ripe. Excellent.
