I actually do that quite a bit. Just that I don't think the photos would
interest people much. Here are some photos, all taken one day last week with
Voigtlander 110mm.

This is what an old saguaro cactus looks like. Reminds me of Oak tree bark.
I was on a walk thinking/feeling memories of my wife who died 2.5 years ago,
and recent news that week that a friend, mostly on facebook, passed away
suddenly. This is a photo of Wyatt from his FB page:

I was really hoping to meet up with him since he was back in AZ. He spent the
summer hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon/Washington. His iPhone photos
were inspiring. He was a great spirit. So death, grief, and loss was on my
mind. I connected to this particular old cactus and felt a peace come over me.
Hard to explain. The thought "life is a stream" and not to be concerned when a
husk is left behind. Why we feel loss? Is it the trance of memory? And to value
the moments I have with people. Most species are just in the continuity ...
Further on the walk:

and does a rock have Buddha nature?:

and the day's end.

Sometimes photos, when viewed raw, don't seem like much until processed.
Earlier that day - looking to see if the 110mm Voigtlander had the pop.

Wise advice.
Thank you Peter for spawning some introspective photography with your photo.
