Posts Tagged ‘Perfect Moment’

I got a real lesson today in perfection.  My lilacs began blooming today.  This is big for me because I’ve tried for at least a decade to grow a lilac bush.  I’ve killed too many to name trying for this moment- and I almost let it go without photographing it because the light wasn’t right.

When I posted the event on Facebook and then the fact I couldn’t photograph them because the light wasn’t right, I read the ridiculousness of the post, so I grabbed my camera and headed outside.  While I was photographing the lilacs I noticed bumblebees- now the thing I love more than lilacs is bumblebees. So I tried to photograph the bumblebees as they flitted and flew around me.  While I was chasing the bumblebees, I saw ladybugs.  Well, the only thing that would have made my life better would have been a hummingbird, I was so excited that I got to photograph ladybugs, then finally, the bumblebees slowed down a bit and I caught them in my camera.

So, there I was- a perfect day because the lilacs were blooming and a more perfect day with bumblebees, ladybugs and a bonus cool spider that I’d have missed if I waited for the perfect light.
