Feather on a beach and lost dreams

So on the last day of the honeymoon, the missus and I went to Lyme Quay. We got there at about 10 am and realized going there on a week day means you pretty much have the beach to yourself, which is nice. I knew she loved to nap at the beach so I took my camera along (im not much of a napper). After a couple minutes of walking around with uninspired shooting, I happened upon a feather lying on the beach.

There was something about the feather, lying there on an almost deserted beach, that somehow spoke to me...

I associate dreaming with flying (you know, the whole sky's the limit thing...or not...) so seeing a feather, a symbol of flight, lying on a deserted beach, was telling me a story...

...of dreams, aspirations, that have been lost, forgotten, shot down, never to be seen again

Its a bit sad but hey you have to take the inspiration when it come:) I chose a shallow DOF because 1) I tend to love it and 2) to try to put a dream-like feel to this set

So to attempt to end this post on a somewhat positive note: you have to work on your dreams to make them reality. You have to keep putting fuel to the fire to keep the passion going, or else you wont get where you want to go.
