Here,
a rustic red barn door
sits in contrast against the bright green grass.
The weathered wood is a study in contrast between light and dark.

This image is like life.
Sometimes,
it is full of contrasts.
Consider retirement, because of injury and limitation,
rather than a choice to not work anymore.
Our hopes and dreams versus reality.
Emotionally,
lately I feel I am coming closer
to reconciling the two
and beginning to find my footing again,
which feels good.
Very good
indeed.

I like your contrast. It’s everywhere in your photo.
Beautiful rustic shot, Madge!
Fun picture, Madge. The colors and textures do make for outstanding contrast. Old barn wood is neat to photograph.
That is the kind of photo I love!! Beautiful. And I agree about reality vs. hopes and dreams.
Nicely seen.
Looking forward to seeing green grass again! Beautiful contrasting shot.
LOVE the colour of that door! Such a beautiful shot.
Love this gate! I would have snapped a few of it, too.
I’m so glad you’re starting to feel better. For me, spring is usually that time to renew and look to the future. Love the shot!
I like your philosophy…photographers are such observant people and can find lovely thoughts to go with each shot♪ Keep it up! http://lauriekazmierczak.com/rad-reflectors/
Beautiful and colorful shot.
Sometimes your life’s work is not what you drew a paycheck for. Lovely picture!
A great contrast, I like those pictures.
For me is early retirement, which I did not want at first… becoming a blessing in my own life –
Have a nice day and thanks for hosting
Nice colour contrast as well as texture contrast.
Creative photography ~ one of your best I think ~ something magical about it ~ thanks, xxx

Very striking image.
Love the contrast of the bright red and green. I know sometimes reality takes a toll, and adjusting is a drag, but in the end everything does work out. (eventually….sometimes slower than we would like)
Madge, although I’m unsure of why I wasn’t getting your posts, I have signed up via email. Hope you are feeling strong once again!!! This green grass makes me drool…all our brown is coated with frozen white similar to that of the frozen tundra, I imagine!…:)JP
What a great study of contrasts!
Finding your footing…ahhh, a very good thing. And I’m going to borrow that phrase. This past year, I’ve felt like I have lost my footing and not as a result of my foot surgery. This week my mom has been in the nursing home for one year and I am way off balance. We’ve now begun Lent and I’m hoping to find my footing during these next quiet weeks ahead. Madge, I can always find something to relate to here. Hugs!
