The light entranced me again tonight.
I was unloading my car, and carrying the garbage can back into the garage, when I was struck by the quality of sunlight on the small plants at the edge of our drive.
Of course, my camera was out and ready. =)
I need a quick tripod! My problem was the depth of field was so narrow, that my bouncing back and forth with a 300mm telephoto/macro lens was causing out of focus shots.
This isn’t a perfectly focused shot at all, but you get the feel for what I was seeing.
The golden light, tinting the green grass in the background, while putting the small lavender flowers in stark contrast.
Ours for the filling of our eyes and soul, if I care to stop and open myself up to seeing it.
Much of life is that way to me.
Golden priceless gems, every moment, if I can savor them.
Pushing the cares aside and drinking nature. That’s the hard part.
Hi Matt! I stumbled onto your website, a most pleasant stumble, while getting on to our son’s site, “Just Two Guys.” Do you remember us, Keith Roderick and Mary Beth Hansen, from so long ago. Keith went to LLCC with us, and I knew your family from Griffin/SHA times. That really dates us, doesn’t it? I will run by the years quickly..we have been married 33 years, have six children, ages 32,30,28, 25, 22, and a empty nest filler who is age 4 (adopted) We live in Fredericksburg VA and Keith works for a human rights organization, Christian Solidarity International. He will be leaving in a few weeks for Jordan and Lebanon. I am at home with little Susannah, trying to keep up with her and write a book about Abraham Lincoln’s barber. If this reaches you, please let us hear from you. Take care and God bless you and your family. Mary Beth Roderick
