This is my blog-site. It’s my first time to edit a blog so forgive me if this is a bit boring.
Last night, Mark Daniel and I went out after dinner to take pictures of the break in Mud Bay Road at the point where the creek had washed out the culvert. It was quite a sight!
When we got to the flahsing road lights, the baracade, and the roar of the creek that had turned into a mini-river, it was pitch dark, windy, and raining hard. I could not see anything up ahead but the baracade. I had no idea how steep the cliff was or how deep the water was.
As I reached over to my camera bag to put the sun-shade on the front of my superwide (10-22mm) lens, I was thinking, ‘Hmmm.. they call it a SUN shade, but the only reason I’m using it right now is for some HOPE of blocking the rain.’ Mark Daniel interruped my thoughts with a question from his carseat behind the driver’s seat.
“Daddy, can I go out and look at the road too?”
The question took me off guard. I hadn’t even considered allowing him out of the car. I’d assumed it would be dangerous. I looked around. It was pitch dark. It was raining. I didn’t know where the edge was. He can’t swim. I couldn’t find him if he were to fall in the casm. But still, he is a person with his own dreams and wishes… I could see how he’d like to come to the edge of whatever I was about to see…
I said to him…
What do you think? Did I say yes or no? Stay tuned.
