Last night, I went to the Dollar Tree to grab some cheap garbage bags because my husband and I (mostly my husband) were tearing the house apart looking for something, and decided to do some much needed cleaning. On the way there, the sun was not completely down, and I got some great views of the prairie sunset.
On the way home, it was dark, and in my area, when we say dark we mean D-A-R-K. We don't need no steenkeeng street lamps!
As I rounded the corner from Highway 95 onto FM 1331, there was an eerie light. The humidity was already building from the front blowing in from Galveston, and no moonlight could be found. Atop one of the many. MANY gins in my area is a rather large star lit with LED bulbs. The bluish-white glow sunk down onto the pointed tops of the silos and evaporated into the night.
I was inspired. I wanted to take pictures of the cotton gins in my area for Zest Fest in Taylor, TX coming in May, and that image of the star glowing in the foggy night sealed the deal for me.
If I had a better camera, maybe I would have pulled over and snapped the picture. That will be my next goal... get a better camera.
Some times, I wish I could take images out of my brain and put them on paper the way other people can. I have missed so many great pictures.
Until the time I can afford a better camera, I will just save my memories in hopes I have these chances again. I know, lightning in a bottle. But you never know!
