Taking Out the Trash

Uploaded: September 18, 2009

Description

I left work early one day, hoping to shoot some florals at a nearby park. The weather was frightful and the flowers all but dead. I shot anyway, even though nothing really appealed to me. Then I saw these water droplets hanging from the cover of a trash can...AHA! Inspiration!

Just goes to show you, there's always something beautiful to shoot ... you just have to be observant and look beyond the big picture. #8002564
