“And So Goes My Heart…”

One of my favorite locations to take photographs is the boat dock area near my mother’s house.  That area happens to be across the Warwick River from Fort Eustis Army Base.  From time to time you will hear them doing exercises….it could be a bit unsettling if you were not expecting the sound of weapons exercises.  And on several occasions helicopters will fly down the river heading back to the base.   This shot was taken with my Canon point and shoot last year about this time.  I adjusted and processed the image in Lightroom and Topaz, finally resizing and watermarking in PSE7.

This is one of the images I didn’t think I could use a year ago….I like it.   The more I looked at it, the more I saw something there.  It was just a helicopter flying away from me…but then I thought about a military spouse or significant watching their loved one fly away…..or….a parent watching their child…..a friend watching a friend.  And all I could think was “And So Goes My Heart…”.
