Well I drove more than 10 miles from home which is a big deal for me, and explored just a small part of Shaws Nature Reserve in Gray Summit, MO USA. It is beautiful and serene. I was the only one walking around while I was there except for the presence of the Creative Intelligence that made it all. Such peace! I debated on whether to split the pictures up into different posts, but to get the full idea of what it was like there I decided to post them all in one go! Hope you enjoy them.

Headstone reads “Mary Isabelle” across the top. The visible dates read 1853-1884!
Ok so I lied. I forgot there was someone else walking around while I was there, lol.

I can’t wait to return and photograph the rest of the property. All images taken with a Sony a7 III and edited in Lightroom. Happy Saturday!

    […] This was taken at one of my favorite spots to create pictures because it is close to my home and those who know me know I like to stay close to home like I wrote about here. […]
