oreo clouds...

...on a warm day

do you see the layers - the frosting - making you want to dip it in milk and take a bite? i'm taking the liberty of stretching my creative genius here... i have the right - the day owes it to me after all - because i had other plans but...

i thought my camera was broken - the shutter button wasn't working - it wouldn't depress - i couldn't figure out why - tried a number of things - except for the most basic of all... that's right - the battery - boo! it was dead - why it took me so long to figure out - it's never happened to me before - in all the time i've owned the blasted thing - not once have i encountered this - so my plan for the day: down the tubes - had to re-think, re-alter, re-adjust... and no, of course i don't have a back-up battery - that would be too easy, people!

so once i got recharged - in all respects - i bopped outside... looked up just on the off chance a bird would be flying by - saw these clouds instead - in a gloriously blue sky - bluer than it's been in some time... and i must've been hungry since my first thought was "oreo cookies"...

on an urelated note - regarding yesterday's blip and being an artist - while i appreciate everyones comments, i believe there was some misunderstanding... i was being very literal with my narrative - my secret desire in wanting to be an artist is just that - one who paints, to take brush to paper, canvas, wall, whatever - to draw... that kind of artist... i didn't mean to be illusive - i thought i was being straight-forward... in re-reading, i realize how many different meanings the word "artist" has... i agree that in light, of our work as photographers, we are all artists - that makes me do the happy skippy dance - in terms of having the ability to draw, i lack talent and skill - in both arenas, however - there is room for growth - a reason, too, to shine - an opportunity to display what i have to offer others - and that will always make for...

a

happy day.....
