P52 Week 14

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but the moments that take our breath way. Today was a day that took my breath way. I am always fascinated by all God's creatures and this one was particularly breath-taking! After, an emotionally draining day, I thought, self, you need to unwind. Self, you need to shoot something. I looked around at the beautiful light and lovely blue sky and thought, self, you need to shoot eagles. Genius, I said, to self, love to shoot eagles. I made a few calls and hopped in the golf cart, I love driving things, that is half the fun and was off to shoot eagles! When finished I was very excited about what I shot so I rushed home excited to put that memory card in the card reader. I couldn't wait. I thought about it all the way home. What would they look like like? Would they be as grand as I thought? I had moved, composed, thought about the light, considered my shutter speed and f-stop. Done all the things I knew to do. When I got home, the moment came, I stood in front of the computer and realized that I was not sure I wanted to do it, not sure I wanted to put the card in the slot. Right then in my head the photos were great, prize winners, Outdoor Photography could come knocking on my door but the second they were on screen the truth would be out. No more imagining or dreaming or second guessing. The computer screen does not lie my hopes and dreams could be dashed. I could be hugely disappointed that even though I had done all I knew to do that was right it was not enough. I put the card in and closed my eyes........

They that wait up on the LORD shall renew (their) strength; they shall mount up with the wings as eagle; they shall run, and not be weary, (and) they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
