Essence
The Response: The Essence of Procrastination
Well, I’m not so sure I would call it procrastination, but somehow that sounds better than just plain forgetfulness, doesn’t it? I was fairly busy today and (thankfully!) feeling much better than the previous two days so I was trying to fit in as many things as I could. Partly just to catch up and partly to get ahead so we could spend time being still and quiet for the last days before Easter.
In other words, the picture was on my mind, but not on the schedule. When Danny wanted to go outside around 6pm, it gave me an excuse to grab the camera. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. Since he hadn’t had a nap, playtime was over before it really began (everything was frustrating him!).
So this capture was pure luck and I’m so happy that it works! And that’s why I called it the essence of procrastination. I guess I could also have called it the essence of luck, right? ; )
It wouldn’t have mattered if Danny stayed outside for another hour! You got the shot. It is marvelous. That little bit of blue and brown contrasts so nicely with the black and white. I could go on and on about the movement you captured with those dancing branches and pinkish waves. I feel like you’ve shown me the wind.
