Well it is a very long story!!! I have been very sick lately!! The other day I finally went to the doctor, he said you have a sinus infection take these pills. So I take the pills, which make me the biggest airhead in the world! The first thing I do (one of many stupid things I have done over the past 3 days) is lose my keys. I live 40 miles away from where I work...so a co-worker gave me a ride half way home where Larry met up with us and took me the rest of the way. The story goes on and on so I will fast forward to the next day when I get home from work and I remember I have no house key because I lost it. So I had to walk around to the back of the house to find the "secret key” and this light I forgot about (because of drugs) clicks on and blinds me! I see how cool the tree looks in the dark with the light and think PAD cool - then I wonder around for a while because I forget why I am over there in the first place. Tonight (still hazy in the head) I decided to use that scary light to "light up" the cool tree in my front yard for my PAD. Sigh...airhead and I just talk and talk and talk while I am on these stupid pills....2 more days of them and I will be done. Back to the point of all this, I used a 10 second exposure and put my camera on the tripod.

I'm not on "happy pills", but that tree seems to have eyes that are looking at me!
Cool lighting effect!

Airhead or no, this is a wonderful image Jacquie. The tree offset in the frame totally makes the picture work.
Now...what was the name of those pills???

Haha! Pretty nice for a drug inspired PaD. I'm glad you've kept your sense of humor through all your trials. :)

Cool photo Jacquie. Hope those drugs don't cause you anymore mental distress. LOL! Sounds like you're ready for the weekend.

Well I don't mean to laugh at someone else's pain, but you have a great way of telling a story and of course I have been in your airhead shoes so I know what it is like. But I have to say that you got a great photo out of it. I was looking at the shot trying to figure out how you got such good lighting and now I know its just "blinding scary lighting" I too hope you start to feel better and for sure I will keep checking on your galleries now. - liza

This is a really cool shot and may I say I think you are a really good photographer! WOW!! I went through all your PaDs and WOW!! I hope I am one day nearly as good as you. Paul Walters is my Uncle and my inspiration for PaD too and now I may add you to the list of people to look up to! An official, "DUDE...NICE" to you for sure!
