Invited to friends' for dinner. Took endless shots of the pear tree in their front yard, leaves gone but branches loaded down with fruit. I found it deeply compelling, visually -- it reminded me of a famous building I can't quite summon to memory, someplace I've been but can't remember where. The lobby has these fantastic cascading lighted globes, all different sizes hanging at all different heights and levels. The pears on this tree struck me that way, and I could not begin to get an image that captured the effect. The harder I tried the further away I got, til I gave up and wandered into the back yard where these deer skulls are set out for sun bleaching. Just one shot, but I like the lines, and I can look at it without feeling frustrated. It's a grab shot that has everything the other shots I struggled with could not achieve: simple, yet dynamic, lines that flow pleasingly. Damn pears. They didn't even taste good.
