Going home..

going home, originally uploaded by 2bamazed.

An ending thought to what we have been doing over the past week. This was the line of procession of my Brother-n-law. Yes, I had to take a picture. I was so amazed at the solemness that took place. As we winded through the country roads, and as I watched people stop, take their hats off, stop their yard work, all in respect for a family taking their loved one to his resting place was just amazing. Each turn had a reminded memory and a story. Even though this was a bittersweet trek, for the most part I believe we were all coming home in some form or fashion. Things that were important the day before, just didn't really seem to matter. What mattered was all right here on this country road.... just going home..

Passing shadows and light

I took this the other day when I was trying to deal with all the emotions that come with having to say , Not so long or Cya around.. But a Good Bye. In this world anyway.

I didn't even notice as I was taking this image, the shadow/impression of the bridge until I uploaded onto the screen. I just stared and looked how it just interwove itself amongst the water and light. Beautiful. To me anyhow.

I guess that is how it is in life.. People touch us in so many different ways and it isn't till we really take a closer look, that we realize the impression that has been so closely interwoven in our own lives.

Just a passing of shadows and light, leaving yet.. an impression.

Unique

My mother, kids and I visited the annual BBQ fest this past weekend. We turned the kids loose and browsed the street.. I took about 200 photos at this event. It ranged from food to buildings. We visited an awesome coffee house and listened to a great band. The photo I really like the most? This one. This guy on his knee composing a shot.
I was trekking along, spotted him, did a spin, shot, and kept walking. There is just something majical about watching a photographer work.. You know, when I think about it.. We are kind of a unique group of people. :) Keeper of the moments and teller of tales to be told. All in the press of the shutter..

where this road leads...

It seems every road I turn, water.... We haven't even met the crest level yet, and I ask.... can it get worse? The answer is always yes..

A place I went today to just gather thoughts and reflect.. Tomorrow we go out again for more documentation. It is times like these when I guess you really find out what your made of..

Where this road leads? Same place it always has.. that has not changed.. I guess trusting that it will get you there... well that is the question.

Ever find yourself busy busy busy?.....

I have finally come to the point this week where I needed a change of scenery.. I thought I would put the cam down, but then started taking cloud pics. Although it was fun and relaxing for me..

So I guess sometimes you just need to kick your feet up, let the sun hit your face and relax...and just have some fun...

Road of broken fences

Road of broken fences, originally uploaded by 2bamazed.

I took this on one of my drives.. As I turned each curve I was taking mental snapshots in my head.. I came up to this curve, and this was it.. I had come to the road of broken fences. I believe this image to be an image of decision.. When I look at it I am led into the frame by a road and a line of broken fences.. Both look to have wear on them. As they take the bend in the road and curve to the right, my eyes are forced to take notice of the trees arching out in the other direction towards the sun. Was glad I came upon this..

Golden.. but for a moment

Golden.. but for a moment, originally uploaded by 2bamazed.

This morning over coffee I sat in awe as I watched the sun peek over the tops of the trees and cast its golden light on everything in its path..

I then caught a glance of my little redbud tree, with the heart shaped leaves... I grabbed my cam, and returned to watch.. I put my eyes up against the eye piece...what I saw was awesome... the light was casting in such a way it was golden.. Circles of light, (bokeh) all around.. It was a moment I could not have orchestrated.. The timing of everything just falling into place... for a moment.

In life we have the same thing.. Golden moments.. Ones we could not orchestrate if we tried.. Things that just are in perfect timing.. A rarity I must say... Thats why they are referred to as golden...
