Trumpet Call

Interestingly...I found myself photographing these nature shapes, creating them, with ribbons, paper, light...and I find myself shying away from taking photos like I usually do at this time of year.I can see the little pink flowers I love coming up...the trees are starting to push out flowers, the grass is getting super green...but I cannot take photos of these things now, at least the low to the ground things. Years of taking those types of shots has caught up with me. I have cervical vertigo. I am trying everything I can do to improve it but so far, I find myself limited. This is one reason I am painting and just shooting abstracts. I can take this as a good thing...I would be out there shooting for hours in the fields, close up of flowers and nature patterns, but in reality...no one is interested ( work wise) . 
I am planning my late spring Italy trip and it will be interesting to see how I will be able to shoot...definitely landscapes, some impressions, deep in the fields looking straight ahead into wildflowers but no more lying down or assuming twisted positions to see under low flowers...My trip will start in Piemonte this time...totally new to me ( suggested by AI)...Florence for 5 days and then some old haunts at the end. I will have to adapt, I am game.
