Camping part 1 // Leaf Dance Photography

Roaring river . . .





Situated in the Ozark mountains . . .



Where the trees are 60ft tall- (or so it seems)



...and reflections are everywhere.





Where the water sparkles and bubbles on it's never ending trip down the river . . .



And the fish flash silver as they flip and swirl in warm patches of sunlight.




Of course, where there's fish there's fishermen . .  (Our main reason for camping)



And hikes through the shady forest.



New kinds of flowers to learn about . . .




Time to thank the Creator for such beautiful creation . . . .



Time to make pictures with watercolor . .




Wild Strawberries!




Watching the river transform at golden hour . . .



Watching the birds soar gracefully above . . .



And, of course, watching the mesmerizing changes of fire.  ;) (With marshmallows on the side)




I'll elaborate more on some of these things in my next post!



What is camping like for you?  =)





Through His Grace,

  1. These are gorgeous shots, Jenny!
    I think I take camping for granted (since its a usual activity of mine during the summer), but I honestly believe that if I could live in a tent for the rest of my life, I would :-)

    1. Why thanks Eva! =)
      Oh, I would live in a tent too! Or, at least in a tree house. (Maybe some mix in between?)

  2. The photo of the river at golden hour... Mmmm, I want to be there!
    I love water; rivers, oceans, rain, snow... And the "reflections" photos are beautiful:)
    Camping means family time! Exploring and getting lost;) Looks like you're having fun! I think my family is going camping sometime soon! :D

  3. Wow, I love this! I just went hiking for the first time a few weeks ago, and this post totally made me miss it! I love walking in the woods praying, feeling like the only person around. Great shots! The watercolor is really nice, too. :)

  4. Hi, Jenny!

    It's been a while since I popped in to visit your blog. I love the reflection photos! And the hills are making me nostalgic . . . I used to live in the Ozark hills, and I miss them quite a bit.
