Today I took the kids to the nature trail and while they were running around playing Ninja-zombie-guy-with-super-powers, I killed some time and took a lot of shots in the woods. The lighting was gorgeous and the temp was great. Very peaceful being out there. Thought that would set the tone for the day.
Illusion is two-fold here. This pic was a surprise for me because I am pretty sure that there were no birds around when I was taking this pic. I really do think it is the shadow of a leaf. But it looks cool and thought I would share.
Also, I thought the rest of the day was going to be quiet and calm. Nope, the normally happy kiddoos decided that they were going to be in a bad mood today and drive me nuts (which they have done - and i am now legally insane.)
This is just so pretty and pleasing. Sorry I can't offer up much more than that. Beautiful. (and hope you gain your sanity back by staring at this lovely image, lol)
this just made me smile for several reason. Firstly the quality of the shot, I love the lighting, the greens and the silhouette of the bird/leaf. Secondly the fact that until I read your description that I would have bet a pound to a penny that that was a bird not a leaf, yet now you have got me wondering. Thirdly the fact that the kids went to a place of such beauty and played ninja zombies (what were their super powers....Other than the ability to ignore completely the natural beauty that surrounded them) because all kids are exactly like that. Fourthly the fact that you are now legally insane...I never doubted otherwise....But who wants sanity?
Hope you are enjoying some tranquility now and if not just slip a jacket on the wrong way round and get someone to tie up the sleeves...It works wonders (and also stops you from murdering ayone!)
