10 Jun grow {161/365}
Day Five of Creativity Boot Camp and the prompt for today is “grow”
Ooooh … lots of ideas for this one.
I was going to go ahead and get all philosophical on your unsuspecting heads. Talk about personal growth and such. I can be quite wordy at times. And a nerd.
You’ve been spared.
Part of today’s assignment dealt with music, specifically the music of your past and the memories/emotions that they invoke. I don’t think there’s a single song that doesn’t hold some type of memory for me. I’m just that way. Music has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up singing. Hell, I was probably singing in the womb. As a kid, I’d sing for literally hours on end and I still do to this day, although not quite as often. I was a competitor in several festivals, played the lead in a musical when I was 12, snuck in a side door and sang in a bar when I was fifteen and kept right on trying to catch my dream pretty much up until the point I became a Mom.
So yeah. Music? Huge part of me.
One of my favourite pleasures is driving the backroads in the summertime and cranking the tunes, belting out whatever happens to be playing and just relaxing and taking in the scenery.
So that’s what I did today.
And during my travels, probably mid-song, my take on “grow” got put on the back-burner when I spotted this …
I waited quite a bit for that break in the clouds. A mail truck drove by and asked if I was broken down. heh.
The rays got some help from me.
So no life lessons or lectures on personal growth today.
But!
I’m keeping a list of ideas from these prompts. Y’know, for when Maegan abandons me and I’m left to my own devices :p
Philosophy is not entirely off the table ;)

Wonderful placement of barn in this composition, nice depth, shadow on the field from those clouds, subtle rays falling on the barn…love this shot.

Posted at 16:31h, 11 JuneSo I was all bummed when you said we’d be spared the philosophical musings, but then you came out and spoke to my heart saying that there IS someone else who loves music like I do. I cannot think of a song that doesn’t hold a memory for me either.
I live in a soundtrack. It’s just that normally I’m the only one who can hear it.
And the photo is beautiful. The green is so lush and vibrant.

And the break in the clouds really did make all the difference, didn’t it? Gorgeous.
