Where I live, we must take a ferry to travel back & forth to the mainland, the primary transport across our watery highway, Puget Sound. The ride is about forty minutes long - a good chunk of time for reading, doing a bit of stitching & beadwork, daydreaming, quality petting time for dawg, snoozing...you get the idea.
Every now & then, I feel like I strike it rich. The ferry worker directs my jeep straight down the middle aisle to the very front of the boat. Front & center, I call it. On this particular evening, I was lucky indeed. A rain storm was moving out and *god beams* started to appear. Briefly, ever so briefly.
Not having my camera with me, I grabbed for my phone (ahh, technology). I'd recently uploaded an app called Hipstamatic which provides vintage film effects like the plastic cameras of days gone by. I remember running around as a kid with my plastic wonder, shooting this, that and the everything - now that was pure joy!
Here is a joyful moment, a good many years later...
Beautiful.. watercolor like affect!
