AtoZ: G ~ Sunset

gliding shadows grow

gilded globe has gone to ground

golden glows the glade

G is for Golden


#AtoZChallenge: 26 posts in April, topics to proceed alphabetically. Creating a theme for one’s blog challenge is optional. My theme for 2021: a three line alliteration each day (5-7-5, haiku-ish) with the first letter of each line the same as the letter of the day.

The Accidental Photo Op

I’m not very good at choreographing photos. My most interesting photographs seem to come out of unexpected moments, unplanned outcomes. Being able to capture something memorable on film (or in pixels?) is — one might say — the “cherry on top” of being in the right place at the right time.

Examples:

Arriving early for an appointment and waiting in my car, thinking I should walk around the neighborhood to look for something interesting to photograph. And then a man bicycles past me with a dog riding on his shoulder.

Taking a mundane photo of flowers and being photobombed by a curious fur ball.

ch2

 

Looking out my window by happenstance and encountering a beautiful sunset.

ch4

 

Taking a photo of a bridge, only to discover I have captured a snow-covered mountain in the background.

ch3

 

Okay, I’m joking with that last one, but the beautiful mountain view was the “cherry on top” of a wonderful walk along the river with family.

One could say that the accidental photo ops are sometimes the most “fruitful.”
