Ant's view


The simple photo today was taken while resting on the ground during a boy scout event this past fall. As I was laying there, striking clouds were moving quickly across the sky on this blustery day and the outline of this tree captured my attention as they often do. For this exposure, I waited until I felt they were in place and took it.

Another parent standing nearby asked what I was taking a picture of as the action in her mind was the kids playing nearby. As I explained what I saw, she went 'hump' and said "you must see something that I don't down there on the ground". As I continued to recline and look through the camera, I replied "sometimes you just need the view of an ant to see the world in a different way". She walked away without further comment. I surmised that sometimes people just aren't willing to move to see things in a different way.
