One's perspective.

Last Sunday I did a family shoot up at Bushnell Park in Hartford. Everything was beautiful and the mood was happy as I breathed in the warm weather, the flowering trees and the colorful tulips. Then I hear the screech of a loud speaker and a man screaming toxic words. The mood had decidedly changed. I had inadvertently came upon a protest march. I had never been to one thinking to myself that there's a first for everything. I wanted to send my words of protest to the thousands of people that were blocking my clean shot of the capitol building. I guess what seemed most confounding to me was the fact that people would take a beautiful spring day and in my opinion, throw it down the tubes to spew anger into the fresh air. People jeered and cheered and then many switched gears and walked over to the carousel to go for a "happy" ride. Quite contradictory, but maybe this would help them simmer down. So I did my photo shoot with a really nice family while the rally seemed to taper off. I guess what I just witnessed had been American freedom at work. It is amazing when you think that in this country we can have our differences, voice them and still live together peacefully. Perhaps, a miracle lay in that fact. I finished the shoot by taking this shot into the sun, on my belly to get an ants view of the capital.  Like the protestors around me, sometimes it's good to take a different perspective.  I liked what I saw in the layer of flowers against the monotone building capped by the blue sky. Whatever your perspective is today, enjoy the view.

Oh wow! Knowing your conservative background, I'm impressed! Yes! I agree with everything you said. Yes, I guess we are all Americans.
