So I was out and about this fine day after a rash of rain and wind storms that left some great clouds all over the valley. Me being me I couldn’t resist, grabbed the cameras and was out the door for some fun and relaxation.
First on the drive today was a boat that I am pretty sure hasn’t seen water in a very long time. Funny thing as I was shooting the theme from Gilligan’s Island started going through my head. As you can see Spring is almost here (which sucks) but the flowers really are starting to look nice. Not too many varieties have blossomed yet, but give it a week and I bet you there will be flowers on this blog.
This shot I have to say is one that I have been wanting for a while but never went and shot it. A couple of reason for that but after reading Mark’s posting the other day about Turning a Miss into a Make. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity this time so I got out the big glass so i could take the shot, fearing that if I didn’t do it, sooner or later that truck would be going.
The Sun started to go behind more clouds giving the appearance of almost being sunset. On my way back to the house I was looking in my Side view mirror (since that got me my shot for the Life at 50 project for this past week) as saw this big backlit windmill spinning. Finished in Silver Efex Pro for more dramatic look.
Good Times
