| Feel the wind London, ON May 2024 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
Like this stretch of overgrown grass blowing in the wind beside a four-lane arterial road, surrounded by one big box retail store after another, stitched together by endless parking lots.
I stare at the out-of-place greenery for a few minutes as it swishes one way, then another, under the late afternoon gusts. There isn’t much to the scene, yet I still can’t look away.
I don’t quite know why this weedy stretch of low-rent greenery can’t or won’t - or maybe it’s both - release its hold on me, but as my smartwatch beeps me out of my reverie and reminds me it’s time to head back to reality, I accept that it’s a question that doesn’t need to be answered. A little bit of mystery is entirely called for.
So I shoot a single frame and pack the camera away, my digital reminder to appreciate the simple moments safely stored on its memory card.
