Another hum-drum day, and it was so beautiful and warm outside....I'd never even looked out the window, once again...depressed...
My husband was in the back yard, with our dog, and he told me we had "Rose of Sharon" bushes in the back yard, to come out and see (knowing that they are one of several of my favorite flowers). He also knew that I'd been looking for bees to photograph, but I didn't even know we had flowers in our back yard....that's how depressed I had been.
So I got my camera, for the second time, and went out to take some Macro photos of my "Rose of Sharon" flowers and the bees (if they'd be still enough for me). I'd never taken photos of moving creatures before so this was going to be a process for me.
I stayed in the back yard for, what seemed like hours, waiting for bees to land, and get positioned just right, so I could try to capture them. This was a daunting task, but so worth the results. I went in to process what I'd been so busy doing for a couple of hours (until my battery died!), and I was absolutely shocked at what I was able to accomplish that day, including a sunburnt face!
From this day forward, I have been taking time to get out as often as possible to take photos, and have even met many Professional Photographers to model for myself. I'm very pleased with where I've come from where I'd been, & had even lost in excess of 100 pounds in the previous & prior months, that all began with looking for a way to get out of the slump I'd been in for so long. Now I know where my priorities lie & what i must do.
I hope you enjoy this photo of many that I've taken of "Bess-ness"!
