This morning I woke up feeling inspired! I absolutely love early mornings at this time of the year---the weather is breezy, the trees are weary and the sun transforms everything into a glowing orange ember. So I got dressed, jumped on my bike and set out to create magic!!! My goal was to capture the sun kissing the surface of the earth in all of her sweet, soft, nurturing warmth. I was determined, focused & recharged so this should have been an easy task, right?!?!? WRONG, as I struggled to recreate in photos what my naked eye was seeing I quickly remembered not every shooting experience is going to result in a cascade of extraordinary shots.
Today just wasn't my day--so I put my camera away, enjoyed the world all by myself & and rolled around for another 45 min or so until I pedaled home in defeat.
This experience reminded me of a quote by the great ANSEL ADAMS that I often repeat to myself: "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop!" Perhaps tomorrow will bear a fruitful batch of magical goodies. As for today, I shall remain humbled!
Until next time,
Miss Sally
