It pays to wait... by maggiemae

It pays to wait...

I didn't take a picture all day waiting for an opportunity to arrive and now at nearly 9pm I saw an picture appear and just as quickly disappear. There was the circle of the sun sinking behind the cloud. Then it had gone!

Three good things:
1. It wasn't far to zip outside with my tripod.
2. I wondered if John was actually listening so did my usual adding nonsense in the same tone -I added tap dancing blue elephants with pink ribbons around their ears....... and no response!
3. I'm getting deaf too!
there is a sense of quiet solace in this shot. something i've been wishing i could take but we're still in the city and i'm not allowed to take my camera along for safety. beautiful composition, i like it.

Wow, your patience definitely paid off. WHAT A SHOT. Fav for me.

I have never had great hearing and it is really starting to get annoying. So often I have to ask someone to repeat themselves ; )

What a wonderful shot, Maggiemae. FAV I have to remember to have my tripod with me. Hubby got me a small one to carry and it sure makes a big difference in clarity.
