I left home at 6:50 this morning, headed south to an off-site location where I would have about a half an hour to take photos of some equipment before heading back into town for a dentist appointment. On my way I drove through the St. Mary’s College campus, observing the way that the rising sunlight was affecting the colors of the sky. I noticed that the moon was still hanging low in the sky, a white sentinel over the row of sailboats docked in the river.
I was torn; there was a work camera in my bag, but I knew my short time line for this morning… so I never even tapped the brakes. Rounding the corner by the Post Office, I was allowed to pick up some speed as I exited the historic city and college campus. Then, to my left I spied a field — tans and browns with a light mottling of purple (possibly wild ajuga). An old red barn in the background. Morning mist hanging low and keeping the scene soft. How I wished I had my Nikon with me, and time to get out an compose photographs within my lens!
Instead, I drove to the work site and took photographs of white trailers, radar and antennas in a puddle-spotted, mowed over cornfield. I completed my task in the allotted time, and began my drive back into town. Glancing to my right, and then at the clock, I knew if I was quick about it I could try to capture one of the earlier morning’s scenes.
Today ended up being a long, long workday, so I’m very glad that this morning I took five minutes for myself and stopped to photograph this field.
I actually gasped when I saw that first image. The second, something I could see printed and framed in my home.
AMAZING!
Wow, thank you for that awesome comment (and reaction), Ashley! There’s a third image, and I uploaded it to the Lo1000W this past Monday. 🙂
I am so glad you took that moment also. May you always see the glorious moments!
*HUG* Love you too, Mom!
beautiful dew drops.
