What to do, what to do... where to go? Sometimes these questions are challenging. dma and I have photographed the heck out of Western Washington & eastward along the I-90 corridor, too. We were graced with pleasant weather today and knew we had to take some pictures somewhere. For a brief moment, we pondered if our photography was a gift or a twisted curse; sometimes it feels like I am a slave to the camera. The weather is nice.... take a picture. The atmosphere is beautiful... take a picture. The flower is blooming.... take a picture. I have a free afternoon... grab my camera and take pictures. You get the idea. Its like, we were blessed with a sunny day and the first, second & third things on the list involved photography, and sometimes I just wonder why I do all this photography stuff.
We shrugged our shoulders, said 'mmmblah", grabbed some coffee, filled up the Sentrzl & headed east. What can I say... its what we do. And you know what.... life had good things planned for us. We saw blue skies, rolling hills, deep canyons, powerful rivers, kooky river floaty people, and amazing mountain mist.
Days like this are what make me just happy to be alive. Days like this reaffirm that God's blessing show up when you least expect them. Blessings that are more intriguing and sincere than you can imagine. I think the same is true for whatever gift God has given you .... photography, painting, music, writing, building things, gardening, heck... even math... you will be surprised by how fulfilling your gift can be when you embrace the unknown. (I don't mean to be all preachy or tell anyone what to think... I am simply and clumsily trying to share my inspiration.)
peace be with you
