I took my boys to an area near the Square Buttes for a sunset tonight. We managed to find a couple of ticks climbing on us and even a pretty decent sunset, before clouds on the horizon cut the show short by choking off those golden hour colors.
I’m still struggling to get back into the swing of things photographically. Last year and the year preceding it were consumed with health-related issues for our family. 2015 is being consumed by happier circumstances, as we’re building a house to replace the one we gave up last year.
I keep telling myself that we’ll have more photo time soon, but I’m starting to realize that I have to make that time. There have been times where I’ve been able to get out and pursue a certain shot but have simply been unmotivated, burned out, or just too darn tired to do so. I know that getting into a new house is a huge task and that there will be plenty to be done, but having a home again really is the closure we’re looking forward to after the last couple of years. Having reached that milestone alone will allow us to relax and take things as they come. I expect to have lots of photo opportunities sprinkled in with all that.
