Yes, unfortunately. Just that. When I am focused on work, nothing during the day seems photographable or blogworthy. Only when I finally shut down the computer in my office and close the door behind me does it become possible to notice the day. Even as, for the most part, it will have passed me by.
I stop at Whole Foods to buy fruits and veggies – we’re so low on them! I throw down groceries at the farmhouse and proceed to the café where Ed is already waiting. In that seven minute drive from farmhouse to café, the sun moves from over the horizon to below the horizon.
I’m late and in any case, Ed is in the wrong place at the wrong time, but finally we are settled into the café couch, he, ready for a nap, me, ready for a pick me up. You okay? Yes, you?
Yes, okay. Just that for now, but “okay” on a hard day surely is a good thing.
I understand that feeling of being so busy you hardly notice the day passing... or a week sometimes. But then the alternative... no work, is worse. I do love your photos today in any case, they just glow.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the harvested field just before sunset is gorgeous. The way the sidelight picks out the receding rows leading the eye to the tree line invites me into that landscape. The light at that time of day is so gentle and picks out detail is such a gentle way. The subtle gradation of the sky from warm to cool colors help make this an outstanding photo of a landscape that will never look the same way again.
ReplyDelete"...but 'okay' on a hard day surely is a good thing." Indeed.
