These photos are a story. There will be no commentary, you will just have to figure it out for yourself.

The title of this collection is "Take a Minute and Look" That's the only hint you get.

All the pictures were taken on my property

I hope you enjoyed

Until next time.

These photos have been altered, ever since Photoshop 'seeing' is no longer 'believing'

   

Someone told me that the swing annoyed them. Sooo...

*Photoshop magic* Poof! It's gone.

But matter cannot be created or destroyed, so where'd it end up?

Can you find it?

When making thinks 'unbelievable' it is much easier to do so with a side-by-side comparison with things as they actually are.

Bright, vibrant colors are commonly admired. In nature, flowers, birds and other animal's chances of success in life is tied to how 'pretty' they are. Interesting to note that even humans tend to agree when color saturation is amplified the object becomes better.

And again, a slightly less exaggerated, but nonetheless poignant example of color saturation.

Until next time.

These photos are moments captured without the knowledge of the participants to record a genuine moment. Sometimes being genuine is hard to imitate. 

Contrary to common opinion the weekends are not for rest or fun. The week's workload of school and jobs are merely replaced by more domestic demands. Roofs need cleaning, lawns need mowing and gardens need tilling in preperation for the oncoming planting season. So is life on a 'Gentlemans Farm', we work in the week, and we work on the weekends.

Of course, there are those members of the family who are too young to understand this principal, and too youthful to work effectively. These do spend most of their time playing on the weekends, in these cases the weather was perfect for the task. 'Shade in the Sun' was taken to show the warm sun contrasted by the cool shade.

These youthful figures are playing a game of basketball. Not the kind you and I are familiar with however, in order to prevent tears and anger they take turns shooting the hoop completely uncontested, and they go until one or the other gets bored or runs away with the ball. 'Taking Turns' is the epitome of the method used to prevent conflicts between these little people.

These photos demonstrate motion and stillness. 

An object's purpose is fairly easily seen even when it's not being used. A chair is obviously for sitting in, a door for opening, the desk for holding items in easy reach while sitting. It's all pretty basic stuff to us, but think of all the years of experience it took us as children to learn those functions? "Don't climb on the desk, don't slam the door, don't stand on the chair" all these things we tried many times, all the while being told by other people how not to use them.

However when we see an object in motion, we have only one mental outcome: Is it being used correctly for its intended purpose? A wheel in motion shows you the object, and its purpose. It transfers linear motion into rotational motion to conserve momentum.

Things in motion appear differently than they would in a passive state. These buckets for example list to  one side, if they were truly hanging they would be completely vertical. So they must be in motion, swinging from side to side, appearing differently in motion than when still.

Until next time.
