New Mother Nature.......

It'a no secret that I love going to a particular lake that is on the Utah/Idaho border.  I've been going to this lake for a lot of years.  I never get tired of looking at the surroundings up there.

People can take pictures of kids, family, animals, landscapes or whatever seems to find themselves in the cross hairs of a view finder.  I do the same.....I also like to mix it up, shake it up and do something different.

While at the lake recently, I picked up a couple of sea shells, a feather from a bird, a leaf, some twigs, and a couple of rocks.  I placed them in a plastic sandwich bag.  These were my treasures and I had an idea for them.  They were my bag of goodies.  I put them in my pocket and forgot about them until the next morning when I placed the lens cap off my camera into my pocket and found the bag.  I took the bag out of my pocket and placed it on the table.  

The lyrics of an oldie but goodie started playing in my head.  A song that wouldn't leave me alone.  It stayed on repeat and played over and over in my head........

........the situation must be right

a bag of goodies and a bottle of wine

We're going to get on right tonight......

"Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over

it's the new splendid lady come to call

it's the new mother nature taking over

she's getting us all

she's getting us all

Playing with the contents of my bag of goodies, I imagined myself a new Mother Nature.  Rearranging, composing, organizing the contents and taking a pic of them.  I found a rock that looked like a petrified Mickey Mouse.  Round head, mouse ears.  Maybe I will paint the face to look like Mickey Mouse.  Maybe not.............one thing for sure, I will be going back real soon.  I'll start a new bag of goodies, open another bottle of wine, and see what I can find through the lens of a camera...................

I'm downloading the Guess Who's greatest hits on to my IPod so I can listen to the song American Women/New Mother Nature, over and over again through my ears instead of listening to it from my brain...................
