Here is a different view of the tree from yesterday. The story is the part you can't see. You'll notice the image is a bit off-kilter, and that was not on purpose.
In grade school (and I can't remember which grade) we had to deduce the existence of something we couldn't see: air. My idea was to blow up a balloon. I figured that there must be something holding the balloon open and making it firm to squeeze. I was proud of myself for being the first one with that idea and I got an attaboy from the teacher for being right.
What I know now that I didn't know then is that taking pictures in a strong wind is also a good way to prove the existence of something you can't see. Because the goddamn wind is trying to knock your arse sideways and your photos are all akimbo because of it.
That would have also gotten me an attaboy. The discovery, not the photo. The photo sucks.
