A Divergent Lens Nature Photography

Welcome to A Divergent Lens! I'm an Autistic and ADHD nature photographer.

In a world not designed for neurodivergent minds, I seek to explore how my divergent sensory experiences allow me to capture the beauty of nature in a unique way.

As autumn comes to a close the trees are all but bare. Soon the frost of winter will begin to take hold, and the dried leaves blanketing the forest flower will be a ghost of the autumn past.

As autumn deepens, the streams of the Smokies run clearer and colder, carrying the first fallen leaves downstream. The steady flow over moss-covered rocks marks the quiet rhythm of the changing season.

Autumn rains bring the creeks back to life after a dry spell, filling the channels that wind through the Smoky Mountain forest. The flow rushes over boulders smoothed by centuries of water, carrying fallen leaves downstream with the season’s change.

Low autumn light filters through the trees along the creek, catching the last of the golden leaves. Water levels are down this time of year, revealing more of the smooth, moss-covered rocks that shape the flow of the current.

A soft fog moved through the forest this morning, wrapping the canopy in a calm kind of stillness. The leaves are all at or past their peak, though a few eveegreen branches still hold onto their vivid greens. It's a brief overlap of seasons now, until winter takes hold.

A quiet cascade tucked beneath rhododendron and beech, where fallen leaves gather and soften the forest’s edge. The moss holds the season’s first chill, and the sound of the water carries through the trees like a reminder that change is already underway.

Around this time of year, young deer begin to wander off on their own, exploring the woods beyond their mothers’ watch. Curious, but cautious.

There’s a kind of wisdom in the way water moves. Never rushing, yet never still. It finds its way through stone and shadow, patiently shaping the world as it goes.

The forest feels quieter this time of year. As if it’s pausing between breaths. The water keeps moving, the leaves keep falling, and somehow, that’s enough.

There’s something humbling about small things that stand tall. They don’t reach for notice or compete for space, they just grow where they are, content to be part of the rhythm around them.

The forest feels on the edge of change. The air is cooler, the light is softer, the path ahead is a little quieter. Each leaf that falls seems to slow time for just a moment, reminding us that stillness has its own rhythm too.

Rising from the mossy woodland floor, this sturdy mushroom balances rugged textures with hidden color. Its broad, tawny cap shelters the violet gills beneath. A quiet reminder that even in muted tones, there’s more than meets the eye.

Part of the Laccaria genus, it plays its role in the forest’s great exchange, partnering with trees through mycorrhizal threads to nourish the living network below.

A humble mushroom, yet a quiet keeper of connection.
