Sometimes, I am just driving along, singing a song…. and something will catch my eye. It could be anything really.
A tree branch. A hubcap. A barn, a bakery sign, or a broken window.
And I have to turn the car around, pull over, and get out and shoot it.
Today…. it was a water tower.
I guess I am thankful for this indescribable behavior.
Sometimes…. I try to fight the feeling… especially if I have just enough time….. to be on time…. wherever it is I am going.
“Do not stop this car Polly. Do not.” But then, before you know it…. I am a mile down the road… and now I REALLY have to turn around and go back.
So there it is. That’s what happens to me. On more days than not.
And today it happened once again. It was a water tower in West Carrollton. I have hundreds of these photos on hard drives… that most people will never see.
But I saw it. And for some reason, I had to capture that moment… that thing… just as it was when it caught my eye. Well, my mind’s eye.
I don’t really have much to say tonight about anything, other than I wonder if other people are like me. If my friends have a mind’s eyes…. things that give you pause. That make you stop. And pull you in.
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. – Socrates
