Skywatch Friday: A Blur Sometimes

laundry day

I shot this photo of a nightgown hanging on a clothesline inside a little building at Lyman Orchards a few weeks ago as my nephews reminded me I was slowing down the walk to the car (where their snowy, cold feet would find relief). I took this shot at a few exposures and liked this one best because I like the juxtaposition of indoors and out in the glass. Though I took the picture because I liked the domestic image stuck in time, I find my eyes traveling to the blue beyond when I look at it.
