Sums it from a photography point of view for me today.
Instead of my normal 'grab a quick shot when you can' approach, I rushed to get everything done as quickly as possible. I took a couple of hours off and drove around the area looking for some good shots.
The mist that I was hoping to capture had all but gone, and the odd glimpse of beautiful late afternoon sunlight that every now and then appeared through the clouds disappeared every time I got my camera out.
I spotted this on the way home - sums it up really!
I think it's pretty cool looking. The difficult lesson for me in life is to find beauty in what I find rather than seeking for my preconceived notion of it.
