I saw this beautiful "weed," along side the road. I'm not sure, but I think it's a pussy willow. It looked striking with the backlighting, so I made a quick U-turn and photographed it.

Worth the U-ey for sure!

A funny thing, Dave. After I turned around and headed back, I kept looking for those brilliant white blooms but for the life of me, I couldn't find them. I slowed down and kept looking until I was sure I had passed them, so I turned back around and went back. I hadn't gone 50 feet and there they were! Looking at them as they were backlit, they were stunning, but go to the other side and the were the most bland, uninteresting things imaginable!


I think that's one of the remarkable aspects of photography in that it teaches you to see things in a "different light." There's not a day that goes by that I don't notice something interesting that has been right under my feet all the time. But, maybe it's just my age catching up with me and I tend to go through life a little slower and take the time to look more closely.


It makes me think of this:

Absolutely. The thing is I've always been inclined that way (sometimes to the great irritation of bosses, spouses and other comrades) It's ADHD, I'm sure. The camera is a way of showing what's captured my attention.
