This was taken the same morning as the previous Lake Anna image. Actually this was probably 10 minutes before this was taken. I tend to snap my image and keep on moving. I don’t like staying in the same spot or else you come home with a memory card full of the same images.
Sun setting at the Tidal Basin.
Another thing I need to do for the summer: Rent paddle boats.
I got an email the other day that made me think of our Yosemite trip. I can’t believe that was 4 years ago! It was my first national park (besides DC) but I remember being blown away by its beauty. It was kinda rainy while we there so we got to experience a lot of great morning fog 🙂
So heres the thing, even if you think that you’re going to get a beautiful sunset/sunrise, it doesn’t always happen. But even if you do get the gorgeous colors in the sky, sometimes you just can’t get the composition right. Or you left your camera battery at home. Or a person gets in your shot. You just gotta roll with the punches and you can’t get upset about it. You’re not always going to get the best picture every time you go out. You’re going to get what was meant to be. And sometimes that’s poo. But you just gotta keep on going. Gotta keep on trying and stay persistent.
This is the pep talk I like to give myself when I’ve been out 4 times this week and still haven’t gotten anything I’m totally satisfied with.
Even though I’m not done going through all my Europe images, I’m still out taking pictures. I can’t help it! I can’t leave my camera alone for more than a few days.
This was taken last week as a storm was approaching. Luckily, I didn’t get caught in the rain this time.
