We recently visited our farm in the Drakensberg (close to Newcastle in the Free State) Every day is a blessed sight of colourful veld flowers, blue skies like you cannot imagine and sunny days, along with a feeling of absolute bliss.
So naturally I wanted to take some cute couples photos including all these beautiful sights. In my mind I pictured a very happy and in love couple (my sister and her man) barefoot, frolicking in the water with blue skies and green grass in the background with a black umbrella as a fun prop…
But The Big Man in heaven thought differently and so, on the day of the couples photo shoot, a massive storm with hectic grey clouds blew accompanied by wind that almost knocked us off our feet. (nice isn’t it?) So every time we wanted to use this little umbrella, the wind would grab it and flung it upside down (just like you would imagine seeing in a movie…)
At first, I got really frustrated and felt like giving up, and then it came to me. When nothing goes right, go left. So we changed the whole thought process behind the shoot and decided to do some creative couples photography. So we ended up using this “blown over umbrella” and posed to pretend that the wind was catching the umbrella and would “blow my sister away” (just like in Mary Poppins) if her boyfriend didn’t hold her down… 🙂
So what I’ve learnt is that we tend to think that we have life all planned out and then something changes, which makes us feel a little like failures. Just go with it…
