D90: Illuminated by Light

D90: Illuminated by Light

We went Christmas tree shopping tonight. It’s a first for us to get our tree before December!

Last year at this time we were preparing to move cross country. Little did we know we wouldn’t see our stuff, including Christmas decorations and gifts, until an entire month later!

I saw the light illuminating these branches tonight and wanted to capture the image. I know a Christmas tree would have been more appropriate considering the circumstances, but this is what spoke to me. So this is what I’m sharing.

Short post today as I’m trying to pack it in early tonight. Been a long week, tired of the coughing. It’s taking a toll on my physical and mental energy. Want to start Monday bright and fresh. Seems lots of people have been out of commission this weekend for one reason or another. I hope that means everyone is spending quality time with family and friends!

    Fabulous shot. I need to practice more in the dark – if that makes sense. I hope you are feeling better soon. Rest really is the best medicine, I don't want to discourage you, but I'm still coughing from my sickness 3 weeks later. Its hard sometimes to take care of ourselves when we have others to take care of and things to do.

    Hope you're feeling all better soon, Miss Tasra! Amazing that you've been keeping up with this site through both illness and the Holidays. Great shot today, you'll have plenty of chances to shoot Christmas Trees in the coming month. :)

    Glad you like the shot. I've been enjoying trying out different lighting conditions. Not excited to hear you're still coughing three weeks later. It's getting to me….my insides feel worn out from it. Feels like the most intense stomach exercises I've ever done!

    Doing my best. I knew that there would be plenty of obstacles along the way when I took on the challenge. This is just one of many that I must persevere past! And yes, I am definitely going to have plenty of chances to capture trees so I wasn't too worried about it!
