I noticed my neighbor’s pink dogwood was blooming yesterday but it was too windy to photograph so I made a note to get out there first thing this morning. Unfortunately I had a webinar from England that started at 7 am so the wind was already starting to pick up by 9 when I got out there. Still not too bad. I also couldn’t find my 180 mm macro lens so had to use the Velvet 85. It did a good job but now I can go back with the 180 (which was in the last place I looked of course) tomorrow!
Today from John O’Donohue… this is actually the very next two sentences from yesterday but it so captures why I am doing this I had to use it:
Like music, beauty dwells in some invisible realm adjacent to us, yet it never becomes our possession. But when it emerges to visit us, it wafts us away to a realm where desolation and gravity no longer preside.
