Intrigue™ Designs©Mother

Scroll down to see more content

One of my absolute favorite things to do at this time of year is using my long lens for close-up captures of leaf and branch designs. I gasp out loud at times just so amazed how Mother repeatedly, hands down, is the Master Artist.

One of my most valuable lessons from Hubby has been his advice to fill the frame. Don’t only look at what you want as your focal point but look at the background along with the surrounding objects. How do they blend or not? How do they contrast or not? Do they overall make a beautiful composition or not? If the answer is not to any of the three questions, would it be possible to move into a different position both in distance or angle in order to shoot to gain a composition that flows?

Looking at my LCD screen after taking a shot, what I wanted sometimes doesn’t happen. That is my clue to look around figuring out if I move to another spot to shoot from, what then? Sometimes no matter what direction I shoot from, the desired outcome will not be what I want.

That is when I then move on confident I will find another treasure. Mother does not ever disappoint! There are times I stop walking altogether, as something pulls at me and in those crucial moments, I choose one of several things. One, do I shoot? Two, is this just a private viewing? Three, if I do shoot where is the best place to shoot from?

Occasionally I nail the capture right from where I stand. I just know. Boom. Got it! When the angle or distance is not quite right, however, you can find me walking backwards with my eyes never leaving what I want to shoot. I stop when I know to. Most of the time, my first shot off when I get to the “spot” is exactly how I envision it to be.

Sometimes, I am surrounded by so many radiant designs and blow away awesomeness, I exclaim out loud over and over again my obvious delight. I don’t know where to shoot first so my head swivels all around, eyes wide with wonder. Those are the times I am transcended so high I forget I am on planet earth. When my heart guides me and my cup runneth over, then I begin to frame my compositions and shoot to my heart’s content.

I present to you Intrigue™ by no other then Mother. I am the messenger, one that shouts Her glory through my lens. Look, listen, feel, know ….. God is alive and He, my friends, sees and knows all. The vibrancy of those designs instills in me confidence that regardless of evil, Good resides and far outweighs evil. Between Mother’s Gifts and Guidance and the Still Small Voice residing in my heart, my life is Good. Evil has no place in it.

*I live in one of the most restricted locked down states in the USA. If I can find the means to live Good and not evil, so can anyone. So much has been destroyed within my state. Not my life, however.*

    1. I know you know this, Krish. That in of itself, makes for a peaceful life. If I didn’t have God in my life, I’d be sunk. You stay blessed as well and may your day be filled with love!! xo

    1. Sheila, many blessings to you for mentioning my last paragraph, the most important one IMO. Yes I do find Gifts yet that too has been a journey, one in which I had to “prove” myself to Mother I am trustworthy and I respect Her. She allows me deep entrance into Her world that at times leaves me just rooted in place, almost disbelieving what I am seeing. As for hubby, I’m a good student. I haven’t forgotten the advice he gave me. SO happy you enjoyed this post today!! Much love to you! xo

      1. Beautiful! “…deep entrance into Her world that at times leaves me just rooted in place, almost disbelieving what I am seeing.” So, profound. I love allowing Mother to do the same for me. ❤️🦋🌀🤗😘

  6. Restriction = power, and that’s what this is all about. However, your photos! Stunning. They remind me of the last fireworks on July 4th. The most colorful and expressive of the night. It’s like the woods are celebrating another year of life just before they retire for their winter nap.

    1. Restrictions = Tyranny. Tyranny = power. When the masses allow FEAR to control them, that is when tyranny becomes so easy. If people don’t know by now this is not about a virus, they still are allowing fear to rule them. The house of cards will coming crashing down. I believe in Justice.
      As for these fireworks, I had to hunt to find them. This Fall has been strange indeed showing only pockets of bright colors here and there. I’ve had to find those pockets. I have one more outing to go to and I HOPE that I find full color in the forest. From there I have no idea what my heart will guide me to do or where to go. That’s the thrill. I just fly when the urge comes over me.
      Have a great day today, Rob! Loved your comment!! xoxoxoxo

    1. Thank you, Dan. More are coming. I have worked so darn hard this year to fulfill my mission to fully address Fall this year. I’m finding such glory that today when out and about, I actually cried by what my eyes saw. The beauty overwhelmed me.

  8. Gorgeous Amy! Hubby had some good advice -really works. Your frames are filled with amazing color, shapes and designs. I, too love the branches and their perfectly formed patterns – almost as if they knew what they were doing! Beautiful and very 3D, colors popping out. Spectacular display this year – Mother’s on top of it! Much love, Donna

    1. Yes, I did take that advice to heart, Donna, and I’ve been perfecting it over the years. I’ve had to really HUNT for the colors I am displaying as for the most part Fall has been super weird. Muted colors, trees staying green too long, trees dropping leaves without color, bare trees, and then patches of vividness. Went for a few hours today to a park and yes OH yes I found treasure. Donna, today may be the last day I chase colors. I have more then enough now to show here. Hope you had a really good day today!!! Much love to you and yours! xo

  9. Captivating and brilliant pictures taken, Amy. Loved all of them and yes our God is always there with us and his grace is always shining on each and everyone in creation. He the Creator, The Preserver and The Destroyer. All three attributes are Him.

    1. I’ve been praying for Divine Intervention lately, Kamal. Being an Empath there are days I don’t know how much more I can handle with the political environment and the criminal activity from those who still have us locked down in our state. I am looking to GOD ONLY to bring sense out of this horror. He IS the Creator of ALL and yes He has His Justice. I pray for Justice be done to all those who have committed crimes against humanity. My posts are the light and love of God to counter the evil that is perpetrated in this world. Much love to you this day!! xo

  11. Beautiful Amy! There’s an intensity to the images that is captivating. I find nature can often be like this. Perhaps at times it needs to speak loudly so we notice the beauty within reach.

    1. Thank you, Cathy! What you have seen here I had to look for. All of Mother is not brightly lit. I get the sensation that Mother Herself is weary from the intensely heavy energy this world is buried under. I actually went to a park today stopping at one place with big tears in my eyes. What my eyes saw was just SO beautiful it touched the deep sorrow within my heart. What a way to heal! I AM so grateful to Mother for not only the Gifts She allows me but Her healing touch as well. Much love to you! xo

    1. Mother is weary, Mark. I’ve had to really do my homework in order to find what I am showing here. The colors NOW are peaking here and there, leaving me absolutely stunned and breathless. The colors are spellbinding! Much love to you! xo

  18. PURE MAGIC!!! Luvvvvv EM Allll! I feel all wrapped up in the magnificent colors and robes of Mother Nature. I took a Pause Stop at each of your view that you brought.

    Your questions made me smile – Do I shoot or is it for private viewing? :)))) I can relate to that. Some glimpses are indeed personal gifts and still your cup runneth over, yes surely. I also appreciate your concluding comments – If I can, anyone can …so much is destroyed, not my life. It is the willingness, the courage and the surrender that makes it possible.

    1. Pragalbha, I would have answered sooner then this but yesterday it seems I hit the wall. Eight hours I spent watching the TV series that I’m glued to. OH did I need that! I’ve been running both in my personal life and chasing colors, and things more or less caught up to me.
      I got such a kick out of your thoughts you wrote down to me. Thank YOU for taking the time at each presentation to appreciate what Mother offered me to give you. I do have some “moments” when it is Mother and me and only that. I stand, I feel, I view, and I’m lifted so high as She whispers to me. You yes “I get” you can understand and do relate! My closing paragraph IMO is my most important. I don’t speak often of the “conditions” in my state but here and there I give clues as how despicable those conditions are yet how I CHOOSE to live MY life that are still founded on peace and love, NOT fear. The most important city of all the world, NYC, has been brought to a halt and is in ruins. That is just one example of what this governor has done to this beautiful state. I CHOOSE to not focus on those things by deliberately putting my eyes on MY life and Mother.
      Thrilled you got so much out of this post. Thank you SO much for telling me, dear friend. Your words assist me to continue to spread the light of love into this world and to speak from my heart. I’m sending you so much love and many blessings!! Know you are loved!! xoxoxoxo

  22. Wow, I think the reds have a particularly strong effect on me. Red is not my fav colour but I’m drawn to them red leaves in a different way.

    1. Profound, Melissa!! That is called the burning bush and only in the Fall does it turn a bright red like that. How glorious that you can see what Mother shows us reflects us. We ARE love! I’m so happy for you that you can see this life-changing fact. Bless you!!! xo

  25. You’re pictures are beautiful! The fall trees with the branches exposed remind me of how are brains are wired by the nerve endings. Almost like the tree branches are the nerves of the earth reaching for that spark from the sun, which is kind of shown through the vibrant colors of the leaves. 🌞

    1. Wow!! I read your comment several times and was stunned by your depth of thinking. Tremendous! I never thought of the tree branches as neurons reaching for the sun but now I have that “picture” in my head thanks to you!! And then you followed through by giving an example of the leaves being the proof that those branches received light from the sun. Truly exceptional interpretation and I so thank you for sharing it with me! xo

    1. Scott, I believe you are the first one to say, “hang in there, Amy”. Bless you and thank you! I awake to a world I wouldn’t have dreamed possible a few months ago. Yet I defy tyranny and live MY life according to me. Mother has no understanding of lockdown …. impossible. More beauty is coming …. xo

    1. Thank you, Ulli! I’m not sure if what is shown here is Indian summer or not. It could be. Indian summer is defined as warm weather in Autumn after a frost, which we have had. Our Fall temperatures have been on the warm side overall which has been nice.

      1. Here it’s warm over day but until now we didn’t have any frost. Sometimes, years ago, we also had what you call Indian summer. We had a very dry summer and there isn’t much leave on our trees. Enjoy the colors and stay safe, Amy

  31. Wow… what an abundance of crisp colour that allows us all to breathe in the aliveness and good we are indeed all surrounded with. Although I feel the deep sadness of the world and joy is far, I continue to live in paradise… Thankyou Amy, so enjoying my show of blog posts this bright sunny spanish morning. Much love Barbara x

    1. My joy is near, Barbara. For months I felt the intensity of sadness, so much so that it paralyzed me. No longer. I AM choosing joy and to live my life NOW, today, according to what my heart desires. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, never has been, so I AM making every day count! I live in paradise as well ….. I refuse to allow anyone to take that from me. I created it. I earned it. No-thing is free in this world and that includes joy. I wish you SO MUCH JOY to feel all the time.
      We recently lost one of our cat babies, and one day while out in a forest I prayed out loud to Mother asking her to help me feel the beauty that I am seeing. Up to that point I could not …. I went from intense sorrow to numbness. That day the tears began as the beauty was felt in such a powerful way I could barely breathe. My pictures are testimony of my journey from that of sorrow and pain to that of love and joy. Much love to you this day!! xo
