Have a little fun.....

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...

The anticipation of Spring.....

Buds and raindrops...., originally uploaded by 2bamazed.

I do this evvvvvvvv-ery year.. I watch the trees bud. Run around my lawn to see if this is coming up, or that.. When I see even a tad of my carefully thought out land art peeking through the ground, I get excited.. Run to the next thing I planted the year before to see. :) This year I am more than anxious than last..

With all the rain and snow we have had over the Winter, I am anticipating an outstanding pallet of greenery and colors.. There is nothing better than watching the landscapes change.. The buds burst forth and the unfolding of all the colors and bouquets, with the air filled with such sweet fragrance .. I bring away with me every year the thought that Its not only the things that my hands have planted that I await to see... Its also so exciting to see the things I hadn't.. :)

Before the pose....

Before the pose...., originally uploaded by 2bamazed.

In life, many things are met with much perfection... We see the fixed and neatly packaged product, or the best writings of the greats.. The best paintings and sculptures.. Or the best images taken from thousands of shots.. It to me is kind of misleading in life... I believe or muse over the thought that the apex of anything of the end, is the before hand or shall I say, between.. That right there, is the substance.. for me anyway.
Between... you will find real life take place, frustrations, attempts, failures, decisions, love, loss, conversation, debate, every imagineable take place before the posed product..
My interest in this image is, between the pose, real life was taking place, it wasn't just a pose, a smile, and great colors or composition.. An empty fixed frame. As I browsed the image there were several things going on.. But you had to look closely..

It doesn't take much....

Through the barn door, originally uploaded by 2bamazed.

It really doesn't take much to make me smile..

Simple things such as these rays coming through the aged wood boards of a barn. Or the smell of rain before it falls, or little flowers poking out of a field of weeds. I used to not be that way, I was in the rat race of trying for the best, wanting and wanting more.. ( I struggle with that on my camera stuff.. :) But I finally realized that was such an empty place for me.. One day out of no where it all became clear to me... the things of worth do not have a pricetag.. If they could come with one, I wouldn't even be able to afford it. But they are given freely..If we take the time to take notice. For so long I passed these simple yet priceless beauties up. Thank goodness I have been given the eyes to see and appreciate.
