Watching, finding photos while being still

On Good Friday I sat for an hour with God and my camera (that post is still emerging). On that day I could take photos as the objects caught my eye.

My wordless Wednesday post featured three photos from my church (Holy Trinity Episcopal in Lansdale, PA) . On Sunday I sat and imagined photos and waited for the service to come to an end. Next to me was my favorite glass. Between us sat a large display of white flowers. A stalk of snapdragon blooms rose above everything. For the last 30 minutes of church I imagined a photo of those snapdragons.

And as people lingered or headed toward the exit, I plopped down on the floor ...

  2. I can picture myself doing something like that Wayne (the getting on the floor part, I mean). Often my mind will wander during church as I see the light hit something just right. The problem is that usually by the time church is over, the light has moved on; either that, or the object has. :)

  6. Ruth and everyone--- the cool thing is that I have always considered snapdragons as a favored flower but one I could not get a good photo of, apparently I just needed the right background
