Essentially the Only One

by Richard

Two from today - one intentional, one an accident.

A corn plant standing proud - and alone - in a large field of soybean plants. This was intentional.Sunset taken, once again, near Fort de Chartres. I had kept my camera in the car with the air conditioning on. It had got quite cold as a result, and, when it met the warm dew of the evening, a condensate fog covered the lens. This was the result.

That's a really cool fog effect on the lens, Richard. Glad you saved it.

I feel like that corn plant sometimes. A lot lately.

:rolleyes:

:D

Thank you, Star - it was a pretty effect. Not the only one I got though; this was with the fogged lens and a polarizing filter.

I hope you feel more proud than lonely, Star, if you are that maize plant! :smile::smile::smile:

More lonely. I very rarely feel proud.

Except concerning my grandkids.

:love:

That's a great shot, Richard. Foggy lenses make for interesting photos.

:up:

Maybe you should fog more often. These are great. I have felt like that before---the only corn plant in a crowd of different plants!

Well, if you are both like that corn plant, you have much to be proud of indeed! :smile: Sometimes the path truest to yourself is the loneliest one - as least for a while.

That's what I've found to be most true.

Not always pleasant, but there are worse things than being alone.

:smile:

I have to agree with that, Star. I have found that out through unpleasant experience.

Stardancer 9. September 2009, 01:05

Me, too, Linda.

I love corn in all its forms.

:smile:

Richard 11. September 2009, 00:23

All its forms?? :D

Edward Piercy 11. September 2009, 00:44

As far as I know, yes. :lol:

Stardancer 11. September 2009, 00:50

Moonshine is a form of corn.

:devil:

:lol:

Edward Piercy 11. September 2009, 03:53

:lol:

Well, that should fit right in with his statement, then. Moonshine probably makes good Bloody Mary's.
