“Him and His Coffee” When your day begins with a cup of coffee this big, you have to think hard about whether or not there is anything else for which to be thankful:-) I am thankful to wake up and share every morning with him and his coffee.
“Pignolis for Two” The more appropriate quote to accompany this picture is, “If at first you don’t succeed, eat dessert again.” I spent a lovely day with fellow photographers Michele and Peggy exploring Delaware’s capital city of Dover. We walked, talked, listened and took a few photos along the way. We ate a tasty lunch and then made our way to a quaint little coffee shop to have dessert and accomplish today’s photo prompt. Dessert was indeed delicious, but my…
“Tea For As Many As There Are Cups” We are beginning the overwhelming task of figuring out what to keep and what to find new homes for at my dad’s house. Actually, it was my grandparents house and much of what is here belonged to them rather than my parents. My girls want these tea cups that belonged to their great grandmother. There are enough of them to share and both girls still have plenty. The cups have a few…
“Road to…” We are back in Delaware for the week. It will be strange not to be at home for Thanksgiving, but we needed to make a trip back east and this worked out to be the best time. I took a walk down the road in the late afternoon. I have been walking on this road almost all my life yet it is beginning to feel a bit unfamiliar. On “our’ end of the road, the houses date from…
“Amaryllis” There were no dramatic skies in Texas on Saturday. It was gray, rainy, and just plain yucky. The only dramatic anything in our world this day was the blooming amaryllis.
“Disco Leaf” Nothing says unpredictable like the combination of me and a Lensbaby. And, thank you Jim for sending the photo of the Virgin America plane that reminded us all of those disco days. Just the mention of “You Should Be Dancing” sent me right back to the seventies:-) I’m not sure that’s a good thing:-)
“Purrfect Pals” There is no shortage of furry companions around our house. There was, however, a shortage of those furry companions willing to be photographed today. I managed this candid shot of Brooke and Frankie. The cat loves it in the evening when everyone settles down and she can find a cozy spot next to someone where there is the real possibility of a little attention…but not too much. Frankie did not want to sit on Brooke’s lap, or even…
“Just Four Fun”
“Endings and Beginnings” I struggled with today’s photo. I have admitted recently that I am in a creative rut, but it was more than that. I sat for awhile trying to think about something that I could photograph. Coming up with nothing, I thought a little more about final stages, about the end. I realized that the source of my difficulties is that I don’t really believe in absolute endings, but rather changes that spark new beginnings. Endings and beginnings,…
“Comfort Food” The suggestion with today’s prompt was to photograph a can of soup. Nothing says comfort like chicken noodle or tomato soup, right? But, after photographing oatmeal yesterday as my lame response to home cooking, there was no way that I was going to photograph a can of soup today. Chicken and sausage jambalaya was on the menu tonight…from scratch! It was warm and hearty and comforting. Since the intention of today’s prompt was to challenge ourselves to…
