Whispers of Nature 

Retired Stories

Acknowledgement is power, it's the key to many things, like mending a broken heart, stopping a sinner from sinning, or making someone's else's day brighter even though yours was terrible because; to acknowledge why you are in pain will help you mend that broken heart, acknowledgement means you know you are in the wrong but it's okay because it shows you how to be right, acknowledgement shows your compassion for life even if it's not a compassionate life to live. To acknowledge something means you have the power to make something better, however it is just a key to many possibilities and just like a key can get lost. Acknowledgement is just a key, but use it wisely and for good, that's when things really start to unfold. To acknowledge God and his son Jesus, our creator and saviour. Means eternal life in heaven as long as you choose the righteous path.

Cold Winters Air

Water particles gather and begin to stick to everything they touch. They then begin to crystallize, becoming clear see-through solid objects. Each crystal has a different shape. Some rounded, squared, or triangles. The water that didn’t have anything to stick to, became a clouded solid in the form of imperfect stars, their edges jagged and sharp. These crystals danced from the cold winter’s air and slowly collected on the floor of the palace God gave Humans. 

Winds roar and growl, causing these crystals to gather in a big lump sum. Some of these frozen hills are high enough to cover Mother Nature's buildings scattered throughout the land's ground. Though if that happened the structures weren’t very tall, to begin with, at least from one's sight. These buildings held cities underneath the frozen soil they sat on. Branching off from the trunk and working its way into a magical sequence. These veins pulsate in the soil as they grow larger and more sporadically. Beating in a rhythm of one, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Bump ba ba bump. Lighting up the paths it makes with a blueish-white hue. These city roads are accompanied by tiny spores, many-legged creatures, and the unity of the living, the forgotten, and the almighty. 

The tiny spores that branched from the veins hold the blue hue while the veins themselves hold the white hue. Making the veins glow blue on the outer edges, yet white on the inner. These veins hold a huge role in the structure's life; Along with everything else surrounding the buildings from above the crystalized soil. These veins are the beginning of a wonderful life cycle. Keeping these structures proud and true. At least, the ones still standing in this desolate frost-bitten wasteland. 

Later to be disrupted by the colorful dancing aura of the crystal clear night sky. The colors flailing around are a light pinkish purple mixed with a light blue. The two colors chase themselves but never seem to catch up while guarding the northern star. While protected by the north lights, dancing around, in the night. The northern star holds the key to a mystery. The mystery of life. Beneath the stars' hot, flowing core. A wondrous universe emerges. Planets of all sort, glow, emit, and pull each other, continuously. Rocks the size of small planets, some maybe bigger. Seek out through the shadows of space. Avoid stars as much as they can.

My first camera 

I got my first camera as a gift for my birthday from my parents. I was ecstatic! A little shy. Mostly happy that I could start a new hobby. I didn’t know where to begin. I just wanted to take pictures. 

I went out back and found the prettiest of sites I could and just started taking pictures. Back then I was very self conscious of how I looked when taking the pictures. Today I’m doing most of the posing while trying to figure out what angle I should shoot the pictures at.

As the years went on and the more practice I got with this gifted camera. The more comfortable I became taking nature photography. I leaned away from the camera. 

I picked up an iPhone 11 Pro I believe was the model. Nothing fancy but it was believed to have a better camera than the one I was gifted and using. So I gave my other camera away and started using my iPhone. You can see some of my first photos with the iPhone 11 in the page 2020. Those photos are older than that. I’m just not sure when or anything those were taken. They have a faulty date due to a few times being transferred to different phones. 

Before the gifted camera. I had one of those old camera that used film but it wasn’t actually mine and I never really got into it because once you had to change the film you had to change the film. It wasn’t like the camera I had gotten on my birthday. It was more like a chore of a camera to use. I don’t fully know why or what made me want to try this hobby but I do remember mentioning to my parents I wanted to get into take nature photography photos. And so I did.
