Day ninety two of Project 365 found me totally exhausted and facing a rain storm that seemed to come out of nowhere. My children are on break right now and it makes it harder to photograph when they are with. Just outside the reach of the wet missiles falling from an angry sky; I watched the happenings going on around my front yard. My mind was drawing a blank as I considered my options and looked desperately for a subject. It was around 6:00 and once again the light was leaving me despite my need for it to linger. Just as suddenly as it started, the rain slowed to a drizzle and the sky cleared in some places. My ears were filled with the siren song of a majestic Cardinal perched high above me. It sat there unfazed by the rain uninterested, and determined to sing until the all the light was gone. Maybe, I am feeling sorry for myself, but at that moment; I just felt sad and depressed. Angry that the sand in my daily hourglass seems to fall with the sole purpose of defeating me. That bird was still singing away, so I steadied my lens against a column on my porch, and shot it's silhouette in the leafless tree. Tomorrow is another day, and on I go looking to make something special and hoping for clear vision. Hoping this heaviness I feel will leave as swiftly as it rolled in.
Happy Shooting.
