We are past the halfway mark of the month closing in on the end of our photographic search for peace and love. For me, it has been a tough month. Time for photography has slipped past and more importantly, I seem to be too focused on the negative and miss the beauty, peace and love that surround me.
Up until Valentine's day, I had only taken photos one time. Admittedly, I took a lot of the Eagles at lock and dam 14, but it is rate that I don't get in more days of photography than that. This day out did not feel like I was working on this photo challenge. It was more of a learning and practicing how to capture moving creatures challenge. I can say that I love learning, being out in nature, and making photographs and soaring eagles are very majestic.
There is a house in Sycamore that I drive past every day to go to work. It was a house that was on the underground railroad. This past year, it has been fixed up and painted. It is colorful and bright. The decoration stands out now and at the peak of the roof, there is a design that now one can so obviously see is the shape of a heart. I thought many times that I should stop and take a photo. I Valentine's day, I finally stopped to photograph that heart. Since the I have been allowing myself the time to stop and take a photograph when I see something that makes me feel at peace.
One of these days, I will have some time to download and process them.
The month is quickly passing, but there is still time to stop and photograph the more symbols and signs of peace and love.
