This is sort of a backhanded homage to Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart. <G>
Yesterday afternoon, for reasons neither germane nor interesting, I was stuck indoors. It was a gloomy day, in any event. While on the phone with someone uninteresting, I glanced out an upstairs front window. I noticed two things: How much I enjoy this view; and how close the blossoms are to falling. So, I hung up the phone, grabbed my camera, and decided to try a few shots through the upper window. Unfortunately, there was this huge white truck in my neighbor's drive across the cul-de-sac, which was clearly visible in the view I wanted and greatly detracted from it. Although the light was fading, I thought "It is quitting time; they will move the truck out in a few minutes." Nevertheless, the truck remained, grinding up trees they had just felled, even past 6:00 pm. The light was even dimmer, and it was time to prepare the steaks for the grill, so I said "The hell with it," and snapped away, despite the damn truck. These are my favorite trees visible from our front bedrooms and my office: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2021/5/8/bedroom-view K-5 II s, smc DA 18-135 mm zoom F 3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR Comments and criticisms are invited and appreciated.
