Farmer's Field - black & white

“Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer, and often the supreme disappointment.”
– Ansel Adams

Just a few seconds too late as the farm was plunged into shadow. The clouds, however, were welcome as the sun beat down and the temperature soared. Not even the smallest breeze wound its way across the fields, nor the tiniest cricket chirped. All was still.

It was supposed to rain last Sunday, but instead we had sunshine and marvelous white clouds. Perfect for a short photography “adventure”. I hopped in the car with my son, each armed with a camera, and I took my usual route to work. There are special places along the way that I enjoy – places where the sun plays in the trees, where the mist lays low in the meadows, or where the trees burst into colour in the Fall. Little Guy wasn’t interested in getting out of the car to take pictures at the first stop, and consequently, he missed the 4 wild turkeys feasting and the hawks circling over the field. He was the first one out of the car taking pictures at the next 3 stops (and out the window…and in the car…and everywhere in between).

At the last stop, we parked in a subdivision and walked to our spot. I got to show him how the clouds made patterns on the fields as it blocked the sun in one place while still shining in another. I also showed him some settings on his camera and let him experiment with the wild flowers growing along the edge. On the last leg of the journey, my “city kid” rolled down his window and let the road wind tie his hair in knots, and he sang into it and experimented with sound.

It was a lovely day!

We stopped at the side of the road on our photo trip to the cemetery on Good Friday, to take a photo of a small barn that had collapsed over the winter. Apparently we were observed by a pair who were also enjoying the warmth of a Spring day.

“I’m going to enjoy every second, and I’m going to know I’m enjoying it while I’m enjoying it. Most people don’t live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and then the first thing they know, they are old and worn out, and it doesn’t make any difference whether they’ve reached the goal or not.” – Jean Webster

Wilderness Wednesday: View from my bridge

In the past, I’ve written about my fond memories of the bridge by my grandmother’s house. I spent hours every summer, watching leaves race under the bridge on the creek and looking for tadpoles. We drove by the bridge on the weekend and they’ve totally destroyed it. But the view hasn’t changed. From the Bridge
