why i look for the light

Photographed October 29, 2016.

I ran out this morning to shoot in a nearby arboretum, ostensibly to "look for the light" -- there will be many light-filled images in the new book, so on beautiful days, I go on a light quest.

I didn't find much light this morning, but I did find this really interesting clump of mushrooms, so I took the shot.

And so it goes:  you look for the light, and sometimes you don't find it.  But even then, there's usually something lovely to see.

Soundtrack:  In your arms by Johnnyswim.  We're seeing them in concert tonight, and I love the old-school jazz-classic vibe of this song so much.
