Anenome

Amongst the myriad of need-to-do's, want-to-do's and have-to-do's was the simple task - 'mow the lawns'

By mid afternoon I was onto it and boy! do they look better for the tidy up!  By the time I was finished the sun had just reached that beautiful low position where it glows and that was when I noticed it glowing through some anemones I have in the garden.  Quick - grab the camera.....one shot led to another which led to another and before I knew it 30 minutes had passed.  Lots of very similar shots with the flower held up to the sun (my eyes suffered!) and the sun bleaching the flower.  A wee tooty in Lightroom with a touch of Nik for good measure and hey presto :)  

I felt more connected to this image than any image I have taken in a l-o-n-g while.  Maybe it was the fresh air?  Maybe it was the spontaneity?  Maybe it was the post 'play'?  Maybe it was all of the above - maybe none?  Who cares - it just felt good.

And still the reports remain unwritten though I did make some inroads into another task I have in hand at the moment which was pleasing.

Why do weekends go so darned quickly?

PS the lawn mowing effectively wiped out the army!
