It’s Late…and I Should Be Sleeping….
Yes, remember those days back when you were a little kid and you had to go to bed…or else? We all learned that a flashlight was a handy tool to acquire then. Just pull the covers up over your head….turn on the flashlight….and, voila! You could covertly read an entire comic book while your mom and dad thought you were securely tucked in for the night, sleeping away!
Well, I guess some of that adventurous little kid still lives inside me. As I was getting ready to plop into bed, I looked out the bedroom window and was drawn in by the warm golden glow from the ski mountain a couple of miles away. The winds are whipping about like crazy, but the temperature is very mild outside. Okay, maybe “mild” is a bit of an overstatement, but I think it is very close to “just” freezing.
I tugged the window open and put a small lens on the Nikon. I placed the camera firmly on the window opening (the upstairs was never quite completed, as Mark was unable to finish the trim work…so, no windowsill!) and clicked…..held as still as I could..and tada!
I know this photo is blurry, but I thought it was cool, as you can actually see some of the lights at the mountain! And, believe me when I say the trees were swaying about in the breezes out there! When the trees get to moving about, it is hard to see the lights, as they are pretty small from here.
Isn’t photography fun?

It’s a great composition and is probably helped by the slight blurring. It shows that the trees were not still!
The trees seem to be talking to you! Great shot, I don’t see them as blurry… I see a soft image of the trees blending well with darkness and light behind it.
