If There Is No Wind, Row

2007.09.03

Plants. Because they were purple and green.

Flowers and grass dancing

Same grasses as above but WAY underexposed.

Trees painting a sunset.

"If there is no wind, row." ~Proverb

This is another one of my favorite quotes. It reminds me that you have to be flexible and look for a solution that might not be so obvious or so easy.

Today's theme is wind but there hasn't been much wind lately, just light breezes. Which is strange for these parts. Instead, I used a slow shutter speed and moved my camera as I took the photo. More of a wash of colors. It's been a long, long time since I used this technique. At least 10 years.

P.S. Thank you all for your concern for Spike. He seems to be all right from his little adventure. His eyes were glassy but he's been eating and drinking and sleeping so he's fine. :)
