Grain

I like the busy work provided by all this portrait stuff and it will feel good to be good at it one day.  So, it's good.  It's productive. It keeps my mind occupied with learning and purposeful.  Yet, I also am longing for some time to just take pictures that are inspiring to me.  I did a little on my trip with the kiddos to Calaveras but they were harassing me the whole time :) "c'monnnnn Mom!!" So, I grabbed a shot here and there but couldn't take my time.  I want to go back with time to myself.  There's a spot I see going from Waterford on the Oakdale/Waterford Hwy toward Milnes that I wonder if I can access safely.  I can see the river going through and it's wooded.  I want to go down there and try to find some inspiring shots.  I am going to post one that I got on my trip to the big trees.  I can't decide if I like it.  I thought I would love it and was hoping to blow it up and maybe put it on my wall in the dining area---but, I don't know.  It seems to be lacking the awe factor I was hoping for.
