Stop this merry-go-round! I want to get off! Ever have that feeling? I get it every now and then. As a kid, I'd say Faster! Faster! Faster! I'd see just how fast I could get my bike moving down 'college hill', skidding and bring up sand and lots of dust at the bottom, or how fast I could get those steel runners of my sled streaking down the backyard hill and across Gulliver's icy surface. Life seemed to be a blur, and I liked it like that. Go! Go! Go! Never look back! Well, in retrospect that's how I remember it. It probably just creeped by, but as a early teen that's how it seemed to go down. These days, I like a gentle pace in my days, fully under control, but that not how it seems some days. Some busy mornings, it's more like that childhood's playground toy, a bit out of control, attempting to whip me off. It's a bit unsettling, till it's over. Anyone else have mornings like this, or is it just me? It often is.

bel effet, une foule infinie
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, many blurry days. But the pic: can you explain what it is/how you did it?
ReplyDeletecan't say i'm on a merry-go-round these days, but maybe more like a mechanical bull - trying to unsettle me and pitch me into something different/new/unknown.
ReplyDeleteWell SC- Easy. Pointed the camera at the endzone and photographed a touchdown score... flash off at twilight. I captured the motion of the crowd.
ReplyDeleteI think that is why I took today off! Work has been a crazy blur lately. A day to slow down is needed.
ReplyDeleteNo longer, Birdman, since I retired 16 months ago. Now it is as fast or as slow as I choose to make it. Nice effect in today's photo.
ReplyDeleteSince I stepped out of the corporate world 6 years ago ... life has been grand!
ReplyDeleteI have not enough time for everything!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds and looks like my morning felt.
ReplyDeleteWe're definitely on the same page today Birdman, in thoughts and image. Your image definitely made me happy!!
ReplyDeleteIt especially happens to me when I'm covering for the Front Desk where I work, fielding calls on three incoming lines and people who walk up to the window plus listening for two other phones in particular because if I hear them ring more than three times, I am supposed to answer them and take a message. And of course, I bring everything that I need to do my regular work up to the Front Desk with me and plow along working on it, too. I feel dizzy sometimes. But I make it. It doesn't matter that I'm 63 years old. Not yet anyway.
