The Grace of Others

We were leaving their house.  A trip to see around a hundred decorated trees and meet Wally, the Red Sox mascot was planned.  My children and mother-in-law, buckled in the car, waited.  I walked out and immediately opened my camera bag.  The light was just lovely, and I needed to capture it.

Thankfully, I did not delay our departure that time as we were waiting for others to emerge from the house.  If only this were always the case.  Unfortunately, I, at times, have become the obnoxious photographer...delaying others, making people wait...as I try to capture a moment or two in photographs...

And, today, I am grateful for the grace of others that offers me kindness, patience, and encouragement as I take a few moments to do something I enjoy.
