I'm not sure of the attraction but I'm fascinated with photos of people's feet. I really don't even like feet to be perfectly honest especially adult bare feet, kiddos are ok. Of course all photos have a story to tell, but I think it's the mystery of only seeing the subject's feet that draws me in to the story of these shots. The photo leaves the viewer guessing - what does the person look like? is this person a man, woman, boy or girl? I wonder what they are doing? Sometimes those questions can be easily answered, other times not. I won't leave you guessing on this one; here's the story behind this shot...
Almost seven years ago, my husband and I trekked our family across a couple of states for his new job. It was a move that we were excited about and one that we thought was part of our family plan. We left behind a nice home sitting on almost two acres. Our new location greeted us with a townhome on .04 acres. We told ourselves it was temporary and that we would love our new yard-maintenance free living. Let's just say the honeymoon period didn't last long. We missed our space. I was never really much of gardener but now that I couldn't... Well, we all know how that goes.
A little over two years ago, we moved from that townhome to a home with not just a yard, but a well manicured and thriving yard! As I sit now in my sunroom with more windows than walls, I can see more types of trees and vegetation than I can count. Recently, I have been moving some plants around and adding some different varieties here and there. Most of my plant knowledge comes from Google with a dash of Southern Living thrown in for good measure. I am in no way any kind of gardening guru but I am loving my yard! Today was one of those days when the weeds were calling my name. "Pull me, pull me," they were saying. So I did. In the process, I stopped to survey my work, looked up and saw my reflection in the glass storm door. My mind instantly said, "What a perfect shot! Garden feet!" Camera came out, tripod went up and timer was set - click - Google Gardener.
