It's Not Getting Any Warmer
GETTING GOING AGAIN
After a few weeks of attending to family maters and (to be perfectly honest) my own mental health, I took to the cold this morning, thanks my wife's encouragement. To make the best of a small amount of time, I traveled about two blocks down the road to a pond I'd been before. It was actually the first place I'd ever visited to photograph, from well over a year ago.
DEJA VU
It was just as cold as the first visit, with a breathtaking morning. I was still wearing the same hoodie with the same winter coat (with the same paperclip in the zipper to keep it going). I promise that the hoodie has been washed a couple of times since then. Maybe more. To shake things up, I didn't climb a tree this time. I felt like I had mastered that tactic from the last visit and should explore other options (such as not climbing trees that overhang precariously of a frozen pond).
FEELING THE GROWTH
I shot 21 pictures in the span of 10 minutes, waiting for the sun to come from hiding and warm me up. Truth be told, I never got any more comfortable, but I was filled with a great sense of joy, exercising creativity and exploring the gifts God gave me.
