When I went to the CNPA Boone Photo Weekend back in May of this year, during my "On your own time" I decided to go up on the Blue Ridge Parkway and see if I could find any photo ops. As I was driving along I happen to look over in the field along the side of the road and I saw this tree, standing alone in a sea of yellow wild flowers with this beautiful blue sky and clouds behind it and to top it off the sun was just starting to set to my left and shining directly on the face of the tree. It was like it was asking me to stop and take it's picture. So what do you think I did?....I hit the breaks, pulled off the road, jumped out, grabbed my wide angle lens, put it on my camera, threw it on my tripod and headed out into the field......Sometimes you just get lucky.
