Of Mice and Men ~~ by John Steinbeck

"Evening of a hot day started the little wind to moving among the leaves. The shade climbed up the hills toward the top. On the sand banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little gray, sculptured stones."

"At about ten o'clock in the morning the sun threw a bright dust-laden bar through one of the side windows, and in and out of the beam flies shot like rushing stars."

"As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment."

I like the eye in the water Shads. It seems you have caught it with the eyelid raises for much, much more than a moment. It is for eternity. Excellent angle and the foreground helps to sneak up on the quiet rabbits.

A lovely autumn view. It reminds me of a painting my grandmother had on the wall. Beautiful and very well composed.

Lovely low angle and sense of stillness in this John. Great autumn colour too.
