sometimes you just gotta look a little harder

the other day, i spent some time with my brother and his family.. they were "cashing in" on a christmas present - a photo shoot with their little guy micah. the morning came, it was very foggy, and i wondered what kind of pictures we'd get...

i showed up at the site early - to scope it out, and to poke around for other photo ops. at first glance, there didn't seem to be much catching my eye - neighboring houses were just close enough to not be "fogged out", and the field was mostly turned over. there was a stretch of wildflowers growing on the edge of the field, but they were all but dead and colorless -- that is, until i walked around the back side and found these two, with an exquisite showing of drops-on-webbing.. and, there you have it, the fog played right into my hand, and the backdrop blurred into nothing.

interesting enough, when we were done with the shoot, tricia's grandfather took the tractor and turned over the rest of the field, including those poor late bloomers that stuck around just long enough for me to catch'em through the lense...

here's the take-it-home: there's always a photo out there waiting to be taken - sometimes you just gotta look a little harder
