The other side of things....






While watching the world with the eye of a photographer,
you might just find that you look at things 
in a rather different way 
than your average observer.....




I find that I look 
at the back of things....
sneaking around the corner to
glimpse the un-observed....

Isn't it lovely the way the fading pedals
are turning deeper pink....
and the golden center at the inside
glows through to the back?

Much more interesting to see things from a
different point of view,
wouldn't you say?

I am distracted...


By a dress...
By a day...
By plans...
By timelines....
By deadlines...
By outcomes....
By emotions...
By 
well, you know....
all the things that make up a wedding.

My step daughter (hate that term)
is getting married on May 29th.....
in our home town...
seemingly everyone....
(including the couple, the bride's mother, and most guests)
lives in another city.

So...
BTB (bride to be)
and I have been scurrying around like
busy ants...
from one appointment to another,
grabbing a cup o' joe,
a snack,
a quick bite...
always on the run,
always discussing what the next step will be....
our minds just might EXPLODE!
We are thinking too much...
out of fear of forgetting something vital.

Whew!
BTB has flown to her home for a few days...
and I am catching up on things...
like laundry,
meals,
blogs.....
