Day 9 - Selective focus

Keeping busy helped me manage my day so that when sunset came around (an hour later than it should due to daylight savings time) I had forgotten it was time to eat. Not for long but it was nice to have some distraction. Sitting around waiting for the sun to set is the hardest way I have ever fasted. I'm going to try and remember that.

"As regards fasting, it constitutes, together with the obligatory prayers, the two pillars that sustain the revealed Law of God. They act as stimulants to the soul, strengthen, revive and purify it, and thus insure its steady development."
Shoghi Effendi

Barrel racing can be fun to shoot but after the first five minutes it gets rather repetitive. This sport ranks winners by the hundredths of a second and although it looks great to stop the action I wanted to show the movement and speed. It didn't matter to me if the subject was clear and crisp, this one is all about motion.
