Rarely do I go out with my cameras that I don't pass something that I JUST HAVE to turn around to get.
Today was no different. As I was driving a route that is becoming very familiar to me, I am always on the lookout for things to take photographs of. And on side roads and when I am in the country I often slow down and admire the beauty, today was no exception.
I was on my way to see if there was activity with the Osprey and their babies, and as I passed by, there were these purple flowers highlighted by the sun growing up a mailbox. The sun highlights on them was just what I wanted so I drove down the road, found a good place to turn around and I headed back up the way I just came from. Pulling over was easy, because the former country club was on the other side of the road, and there is ample grassy area to pull off and park for a few minutes.
Of course I couldn't be happy staying in my car for the shot, I am the idiot that you will see on the side of the road, or in the middle of a street trying to get a shot. That's exactly what I did today. I didn't need to go on the persons property, since the mailbox was right by the road, and I shot from many different angles. Giving me a wide choice of photos to chose from that I like or didn't like. Rarely do I take one shot of something. And if its a subject that is in motion I tend to get a rapid succession of shots.....
Fortunately for me there was not a strong wind like there was yesterday and that made it much easier to get shots of anything today. But one of the photos that I like the best is this one where three flowers are lined up each one having more or less sunlight on it.
Until next time
God Bless.
