GoProing
I’ve
joined the GoPro world.
Where
snowboarders strap cameras to heads,
showing the world
as pines fly by
during a
cliff drop into clean powder.
Where
daredevils leap from skyscrapers,
giving a peek into the suicidal Manhattan
drop
before parachutes rescue them
and we get first hand perspective as they
gather up ‘chute and run into the night.
Where
Russian drivers
capture brilliant blasts of space rock,
dancing across the sky
before the sonic boom rattles glass.
Where
Taiwanese drivers
narrowly miss obliteration
from passenger planes
as they fall
out of the sky.
Yes
I’ve joined that club.
And so far,
what
have I captured?
A
tour of my townhouse.
Pausing long
enough to see
pictures hung upon walls,
and ending where bottled soups sit
quietly upon storage room ledges.
And a
snowshoe escapade.
Thirty seconds of
which I shared upon Facebook.
Showing
the world as I gently spring back against a twig,
losing the battle… and
flopping softly into the snow with a chuckle.
There
is more to do.
More to find.
I
narrowly missed a coyote.
Walking along
with camera off as it darted into the woods.
One day I’ll capture him.
Making
him less Bigfoot myth and more reality.
I’ll
bother nesting birds.
The Springtime
will bring out my extension pole,
GoProing trees
while both my feet are safely
on the ground.
I’ll give
my camera the plunge.
Capturing tadpole
worlds
from a whole new perspective,
and freaking out frogs on a daily basis.
And I
await my comet.
Lighting up the pre-dawn
sky
during my drive home
from work.
The
universes wonders shall be unlocked.
Mysterious creatures shall be discovered.
All stemming from that first,
most gentle
snowshoe fall.
WEDNESDAY…
---
Dayshift. Busy day of shoes and tires.
THURSDAY…
---
Less busy than yesterday. Also run
across for lunch with Shannon. A nice
break from things for a bite to eat.
FRIDAY…
---
Pretty normal night.
---
Pizza picked up on the way in for Mona, Frankie and me. Good way to start work.
SATURDAY…
---
Quiet night. Forced quiet really as much
of the computer systems are down for maintenance.
SUNDAY…
---
Pretty quiet day in the house. Feeling a
bit run down so no walk or anything today.
MONDAY…
---
Shovel the driveway for about twenty minutes and then do a half hour walk in
the woods. Catch up on some TV through
the day as well.
TUESDAY…
---
Doctor’s appointment in the morning gets me up pretty early. Go for a snowshoe after I get home. Bring the GoPro camera and record close to 50
minutes of the 70 minute trek. See a
coyote run across my path when I’m a few hundred feet away. The camera isn’t on at this point though.
