Subsist

So there is a small freeway that goes from the beautiful coast and takes you east out to the middle of know where. Along this freeway is a bridge that spans over a small valley. Throughout my days here on 365 I have tried many attempts at this bridge from standing on the edge of it, shooting it from a distance, I even tried standing in the middle of it and shoot oncoming traffic! Nothing! I refuse to accept that it is just a boring bridge! Well yesterday I slipped into my hiking shoes grabbed my camera bag and a water and set out to hike the valley and get a shot from underneath that thing...as you can see, I found this tiny weed more exciting! :o)
Its not you bridge, its me. I am holding you back! I think its time we go our own separate ways! ;)

This is starting to become the "where's Jerry" game to me! Lol! Sorry about your relationship with the bridge...I'm sure there's plenty of others in the sea! :)
Love the rich color, DOF and sharpness in this shot.

Love the dof on this. Great capture.
October 12th, 2012  
Well it definitely makes a beautiful replacement shot.
October 12th, 2012  
Love this Jerry. The flower in bloom and dead bud, the colours and composition are brilliant. Great shot!
October 12th, 2012  
Such a pretty flower! Don't you just hate it when you find a subject that you know is fantastic but you just don't seem to be able to make it work in a photograph?
October 12th, 2012  
Oh no! Does that mean the relationship with Bridge is over! Commiserations to you ;) Lovely shot of the flower :)
October 12th, 2012  
Really like the colors and the flower is nicely lit. Just find yourself another bridge...I am sure there are plenty :)
October 12th, 2012  
beautiful shot....love the dof and colours:)
October 12th, 2012  
very beautiful jerry! :)
October 12th, 2012  
Love the DOF in this. Lovely shot.
October 12th, 2012  
beautiful!
October 12th, 2012  
Had you cropped out everything and just shown the purple flower, it would be less of a photograph. I love the monocromatic feel and the one pop of color. Sorry about the bridge. I know how you feel!
October 12th, 2012  
Beautiful
October 12th, 2012  
Whoa beautiful shot!
October 12th, 2012  
So beautiful :)
October 12th, 2012  
A beautifully made photo. Bummer about your relationship to the bridge. You are not alone in seeing one thing in you mind's eye and not being able to capture what you want with your lens. :)
October 12th, 2012  
Beautiful shot!
October 12th, 2012  
Who need an old bridge when there are pretty flowers to be shot? ;-) Love the heart shaped thingy in the upper left!
October 12th, 2012

love the commentary! I know how frustrating it can be to keep on trying for the perfect shot. . .sorry you have had to break up with the bridge, but I know you'll find us another one!
October 12th, 2012  
very nice jerry. really like the dark tones surrounding the flowers....
October 12th, 2012  
love the tones, very pretty
October 12th, 2012  
Oh, deep down I think you want to go back to that bridge - but BE CAREFUL!! You must triumph over the bridge but don't let it triumph over you!

This was a very under the bridge shot!
October 12th, 2012  
I love this.... It's so beautiful!
October 12th, 2012

Lovely image, great idea.
October 13th, 2012  
your little weed is very pretty :) I am sure one day you will get a shot of that bridge and it will be stunning.
October 14th, 2012  
I think I'd like to come down your way and see this bridge.
October 14th, 2012  
@webfoot lol! I would love to see how you shoot it, Paul!
October 14th, 2012  
So much fantastic. Love the story.
October 15th, 2012  
I like the context of this image more than the image itself, to be honest (no offense intended, of course; it's just that I have my share of flowery fields). But, there's something about the juxtaposition in this photo - this pretty little weed being ignored by everyone in the fast lane its whole lifetime, while one person takes the time to stop and make it part of his world. This is a very beautiful image with its story attached :) Thanks for sharing.
October 16th, 2012  
Always love your flowers/weeds shots.
October 17th, 2012  
Amazing, Jerry ....absolutely perfect~~
