Sometimes its an image that grabs my attention for this blog diary. Driving into work this morning at 7am there was THE most dramatic sky over the North Somerset landscape. I always carry a camera in the car now (as a result of this blog) so I shot off a couple of photographs. That was to be my thought for the day. But, I didn't have time to upload them onto this blog. At about 11am I sat at my desk listening to some interviews from Palau on the Nepoleon wrasse, a huge coral fish who's size and status make it prized for both food and tourism and therefore of conservation concern. Enveloped by headphones I was busily writing notes when I suddenly looked at my notepad and thought - wow, that is a striking image. Sunlight flooding in through the office window was highlighting only my words, only the parts of the recording that were important and I had written down, the rest of the desk was in shadow. I quickly took a photograph with my phone before the intensity of the light faded. Images like that stay with me for a long time.
Intriguing how a quirk of nature, like the sunlight on your notebook, can put things in a different light, literally and metaphorically! Julie
ReplyDeleteHow right you are - it is the small things we notice during the day that make life interesting I feel. Often the bigger events are a bit of a let down
