Decisive MomentsIt's Saturday afternoon, I'm busy organising, planning, doing admin and I look out of the window… the light is developing nicely. The sun is shining, the leaves are glowing. I've got a picture in my head that needs to be created. Forget the computer, the dinner that should be getting made, even the prospect of watching quali for final F1 race of the season. I throw my boots on, wrap up warm and grab my kit and run out of the door with a backwards shout of "The light's coming, I'm going out!"
Ten minutes later I'm at my location but alas, the sun is too low to make my trees glow - I'm an hour too late. We have to learn from our mistakes so if I'm lucky and the sun shines in the next week before the leaves have all dropped I will try again. Being extremely frustrated with myself I refused
