Life in the fast lane

Most will miss the show with speed

While grass does ballet.

Art Prescription:  Today’s photograph was captured by Susan Carver Williams. Susan is a photojournalist. She meanders about the back roads of Eastern Tennessee, she calls them her “Sunday Drives,” with a sharp eye that captures the essence of this place she calls home. I’m always thrilled to see one of her posts. I sit back and take a drive with her, seeing through her lens the rolling beauty of Tennessee.  Susan says,

” I rarely know where I’m heading when I leave the house with my camera. I just pick a random direction and look for whatever catches my attention and/or a road I’ve never turned down. I’ve been temporarily lost a few times on these photographic adventures, but never disappointed. There’s always something that makes the turn and the miles worthwhile. Some days I’ve inadvertently spent 5-6 hours in the car, driving as slowly as traffic will allow (which is why I love backroads), stopping on a dime or turning around and backtracking, just seeing where the next turn takes me. Bev, my drive-abouts with the camera are MY Art Prescription.”

What captured my attention with this image is the metaphorical view of the highway and the lovely grass and wildflowers growing on the shoulder. I’m glad Susan drives “as slowly as traffic with allow.” Otherwise we might have missed the Grass Ballet! Thank you Susan for sharing your work on the Art Prescription!
