Between documenting a project at work and experiencing the unprecedented (in my lifetime) flood levels of the Missouri River, I have been taking LOTS of photos in the past couple of months. The work project has consumed my time and energy, but has been intensely rewarding. However, I have not had time to do any artistic shooting or capture anything of beauty. When I spotted this patch of foxtail along the river the other day, I decided to take a break from recording history in the making. The "weeds" were dancing madly in the breeze and I knew it would be a travesty to freeze their action. So I stopped down the lens for a slow shutter speed and even panned across as I shot, hoping to convey their unabandoned sense of joy.
