Wide.
Wow, this kind of photography assignment could be dangerous. Where and what (who?) can I capture as wide? (My mind panics thinking of the picture of my backside Will took with my camera while I we were decorating the tree last night — mental note, deduct fee from college savings as retribution.)
In this case, what HAVE I captured that speaks to WIDE? Just saying the word makes me think of the Dixie Chick’s song, Wide Open Spaces, of which I only know the words to that particular phrase in the song. And I love me some ‘chicks, but whoa, I just can’t get past it while on That Word.
So “wide” in terms of “space” was on my mind as I hunted photos. And this is what I found.
Wide, open, everything in front of them totally and completely open to them and for them.
Paul and Will, flying a kite, Fort Walton Beach.
Beach.
No more Dixie Chicks in my head now, as my thoughts have switched to the all-consuming question of why is it, again, that we don’t live there?

I was just “down the road” a piece from you…in space, if not time…

Gorgeous photo and perfect for this wide open theme! Nice to see all that beautiful blue on this dreary winter day.

Gorgeous!
You know, I have never successfully flown a kite. That looks like a beautiful spot to try.
