Obstacle
The Call: Milkweed — Cheryl
On the way to Stella’s dance class, the weeds, leaves and bushes on the right side of the road were lit up beautifully, but I couldn’t stop or we’d be late. After getting Stella onto the dance floor, I rushed out, drove back the way I came, and discovered that the light had moved to the other side of the road and was hitting very little worth noticing. I found a spot to pull over in front of these milkweed plants and took a number of shots. I then drove past the studio, hoping to get something at my usual spot near the water, but the sun was hidden by clouds. A minute later, I stopped in the middle of the road to try a couple of shots of the lake, but had to get it in gear (literally) and move along. Going up the hill to the studio, I looked for the cattails that had been beautiful ten minutes previously. They were duds. So, I encountered obstacles, but created an image I’m pretty happy with nevertheless.
It’s a beautiful shot of milkweed — but I know what you mean about obstacles! I will see something lit up in the house and think “what a great picture that would be” and then when I return with the camera the light is gone. Frustrating!!
