Lets
talk about ‘patience’..
Patience
in this ‘instant’ age of Facebook, Instagram and all of the
electronic means of communication seems redundant prehistoric even
but to those of us who are ‘pre-internet’ it still holds value.
You
see, for many, many months stretching into a year or more I have
looked at the same scene but it has never materialised as the scene
in my head.
Until
yesterday.
Despite
the bad start to the day, a rushed visit to the local emergency
veterinarian with Winter who decided to drink a bottle of cough syrup
(a whole other story, suffice it to say she is OK and my wallet
considerably lighter) …. the fog and mists rolled in and I happened
to drive by ‘the scene’.
Yes!
it was developing nicely, so I continued home to drop off Winter and
pick up a camera and sketch book of course.
Dashing
back to the vantage point I have decided upon so long ago I made
several images of the scene and in turning around to find yet another
scene from the past list..
Two
quick sketches completed my odyssey and I was on my way home again,
there and back in 30 min.
30
minute journey that spanned a year.
My
patience was rewarded, I have my photograph.
Not
as perfect as the one in my head but close enough to make me smile.
I
may not be the best photographer or artist but patience and
perseverance make me better than I am.
“With
ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are
attainable”. ~Thomas Foxwell Buxton
