Glorious blurrrrrr


Sometimes when the wind is blowing the end tip of a pine branch as it stretches new inches onto the height and width of the tree, and the camera's long lens demands, but doesn't receive, the steady, shakeless grip of a surgeon (or a rapid shutter speed the available light won't allow), the crispness in the focus of the end result is not what's important at all...

I love the rhythm of the growth tips -- like musical notes held in light and space -- the ballet-like attitude (perfect spine, poised and graceful laterals) -- and the way the lead tip reminds me of a seahorse. And the shaggy, tender fullness of the new tips against the light-reflective thin bristle of the old ones.
