7 Days: Day 2 – Yellow-ish

29 March 2009

My challenge to myself today was to find a splash of natural yellow that wasn’t daffodils or forsythia, both of which can be found in the garden. If only I’d made yellow the theme when the fields around here were full of oilseed rape. I just don’t think these things through! I headed out on my bike and my search led me to the hay feeder beyond the railway bridge. Meaning that to get to it I had to get through the deep squishy mud and puddles under the bridge with my bike. I had visions of me falling sideways into the goop – visions that fortunately did not become a reality.

I had my Gorillapod with me and fastened the camera to one end of the feeder and played around with it for a while, walking back and forth over very questionable hay that was oh-so-wet just below the surface. A couple out walking came past at one point and so I adopted the nonchalant air that every 7 Dayer must at one time or another in their activities. Yes, I have tied my camera to an empty feed trough. Keep walking, there’s nothing to see here. Oh, and please don’t look back behind you as I crouch down below the feeder to try a different shot through the wire. Thank you.

Love this photo Sarah! You have beautiful, intelligent eyes.

Sheesh, that sounds lame. But I’m leaving it because it’s true.
