{Echo} Week 8- ‘Juicy’

“Don't miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold.”
Susan chose the ' juicy' promptbecauseshe was "craving some color against this white backdrop of winter". While I loved the prompt, I admit to being a just-a-tad-bummed initially; as my heart has been drawn to the pale, the delicate and the serene these days. However, I love a challenge (well, on most days) ... and breaking out of one's-current-musely-mood is indeed, challenging. Am I the only one who has a muse with a severe case of tunnel vision?
There was a particular shot I wanted to get for this round of {echo} and I was not at all successful in making it work - disappointing but an excellent, much needed reminder that I need to make time to learn all the technical skills I lack where photography is concerned. While I admit I sometimes wish I could bypass the whole learning process and instantaneously have the knowledge residing in that cluttered space I call my brain... I know I would be missing out on so many opportunities to fumble and fail ... and that would truly be a shame, because those are typically the e x a c t moments new discoveries and successes are made of.
So easy to lose sight of that.. such a juicy tidbit of knowledge to be reminded of.
