Lessons I Have Learned, Pt 2: Don't Wait

When you see a shot... take it!

One, you never know when you'll get a chance to go back. Especially if you are traveling in an area you don't frequent. This one is pretty obvious.

Two, things change. If you shoot flowers, they change from day to day. A storm may come in overnight and ruin everything. Or, in the case of this photo... it may just disappear altogether. Neither this barn nor this windmill exists anymore. This shot was taken about four years ago, and deteriorated quickly afterward, and was eventually torn down about two years ago. The windmill was torn down earlier this year.

I'm glad I stopped to get this shot. I know I have certainly missed many, hence the "lesson".

Thank you!

No farms or barns today. Just a random image I took at my niece's high school graduation ceremony yesterday.

As a friend of mine said on their Facebook status, today is not just about BBQs and stuff. Today is about remembering our families and friends... heroes all... who have paid the ultimate price so we can have BBQs and stuff.

Thank you to all our veterans, and that you to all our current members serving our country.
