Garden Rambling ‘Oh What a beautiful morning…’
June 7, 2011
This morning I went out to the garden firmly resolved to plant more sunflower seeds. The reason was the rabbits have eaten many of the last crop of seedlings. I so very much want to do the photographic studies of sunflowers that I have been planning for this summer.
Yet when I entered the backyard the sun was just coming over the horizon spraying a golden glow over everything. This is my first full year of having magnolia trees in my own yard. It is so different having the trees where I can observe the blossoms daily. There was one blossom I have been keeping a close watch on. As I looked over at it the sun was shining through the trees and glancing off of it. And to make things better there was only the slightest of breezes. So I changed my mind and went back inside for my camera and my tripod attached blossom stabilizer, just to be sure. Thereon ensued a most wonderful hour. I kneeled before, crawled around and stood over that blossom and recorded the many different moods as the sunlight changed. What have I recorded? At this point I don’t really know. I will have to process the RAW files and composite them before I will begin to able to see the real character of the images. But I am satisfied that the time I spent was spent well.

It was a cool, beautiful morning and I accomplished a lot in the total scheme of my life but it was not what I had set out to do for that day. I enjoyed myself tremendously. That’s just the way life is supposed to be.
