Bag angst
It was just over a year ago that I got this lovely camera bag. I loved it (as much as one could love a bag) and I took it with me everywhere. I loved that I could always have my camera in tow, and that it was well-protected. I really loved that the tote looked [...]

Another year, another Project 365. This was my third one, and I so enjoyed it! These are a few of my favorite images. You can see the rest on flickr or picasa (your choice – I’m in both places at the moment, waffling between which I prefer more). This time around I gave myself a [...]

Remember when I used to post Flickr Favorites on Fridays? Can you believe it’s been almost a year since I did it last? Yep. Long time. I’ve been favoriting photos since then, but I haven’t been sharing them. Last night I set out to make mosaics of everything I haven’t shared since the last time, [...]

So Picture Color is over, and as usually happens to me at the end of one of these project months, I am relieved. I had fun, but am ready to be done. 30 days seems to be my magic number. Day 25 – heavy metal Day 26 – watching for whimsy Day 27 – going [...]

Another colorful week come and gone… Day 17 – the color of light (I got lucky – the sun was out for about five minutes that day, and I managed to catch it) Day 18 – What’s your shade? (Mine’s “papaya” – this is pretty much the only makeup I wear. Special occasions call for [...]

Another colorful week come and gone. I’m enjoying this class – I always think color is fun (do you remember the color challenges we used to do around here?) So here’s the latest. Hard to believe June is more than half over already! Day 9 – the texture of color (I never noticed all of [...]

Shall I spare you the “oh, I have been sooooo busy” and “sorry I haven’t been around more lately” speeches, and just show you what I’ve been doing in Tracey Clark’s most recent class, Picture Color*? Yes? Ok then Day 1 – Blissed out on color – a few of my favorite hues Day 2 [...]

Last week, one of the Picture Spring prompts required us to find a dandelion that had gone to seed. None of mine had at that time, but they did a few days later, and I thought it would be fun to see what kind of images I could get, even though Picture Spring is over. [...]

We lost my grandmother yesterday. The kids stayed home from school today and this morning we were talking about Granny, what funerals are like, heaven, how Grandma (her daughter, my mother) must be feeling, how we are feeling… and we also spent some time sitting quietly together on my bed, propped up on pillows, reading [...]

Spring is coming along, ever so slowly. My yard is starting to bloom, but mostly in shades of yellow, with a little bit of purple here and there. Even though it’s like this every year, I still don’t get “Spring” from yellow. Yellow feels like “Fall” to me. We seriously need some pink in this [...]
