“Sweet Music”
118/365-2 The Number Four
“Four Inches” I had hoped that on our trip home from Delaware we would either depart or arrive at a gate with the number 4 in it or that our seats would be in a row with a 4. No such luck. After I got myself squared away for school this week, I sought something for today’s photo. Fresh out of ideas and inspiration, I was counting on the muse and the muse seemed to have already gone to…
117/365-2 Square
“Welcome To The Party!” My dad lives in the first town in the first state. Needless to say, history abounds. I love to walk through the old churchyards and read the markers on the graves. I took several shots of interesting headstones today, but when all was said and done I liked this one best. I think this is because the shallow DOF and bokeh make it look like there is confetti falling, like there is a big party going…
116/365-2 Thoughtful
“Thoughtful” Today was a good day. We slept until 9:00, making up from the three hours of sleep the night before. We had a leisurely breakfast and talked with my dad for awhile. He had a friend coming over so we made a quick trip to the outlet mall and the grocery store. After bringing the groceries home, we walked up to town and I did a little more shopping while Weber people watched from a bench outside. He did…

“40 Years In The Garden” This photo is of a statue in my dad’s garden, which was my grandparents’ garden. I have been looking at it for over 40 years. I was really too tired to carefully think through the photograph, but I learned several things from this photo. 1. Check your camera settings. Somehow my camera was set on VIVID, thus the bizarre coloration. 2. Though we don’t always know why, every shot we take is done so for…
114/365-2 April Showers
“Late April Shower” This has been a __________ week. I’m not even sure what word or words to put in that blank; and frankly, it is probably better that I don’t try to figure it out. I suspect it would not be pretty! Obviously this entry is being posted a day late. Let me explain why. We are in Delaware again this weekend, having left Dallas early this morning. When we got home from school yesterday we had to do…
113/365 Peaceful
“Peaceful Heart” I had a pretty crappy day at school today. Well, actually, it was really just a pretty crappy thirty minutes, but those thirty minutes clouded my perception of the whole day. Funny how that happens. It was redeemed, however, by my very last private student of the day who brought me these gorgeous orange flowers. She knows that orange is my favorite color. And I had the perfect vase for them. I had to laugh at the “peaceful”…
112/365-2 Barbed
“Barbed Beauty” I have become a huge fan of my Lensbaby lenses. Fan may be an understatement; addict may be a better term. And, my husband is an enabler. He ordered me the Edge 80 lens, ostensibly for Mother’s Day. It came last week and he gave it to me. Sadly, I did not even take it out of the box until this afternoon. I think the fact that I am a musician, and therefore understand too well the discipline…
111/365-2 Colorful
“Philo-sockical” Considering how exhausted I was yesterday, today was a pretty good day. This may be due to the fact that I wore my “happy” socks this morning. How can you not be cheered by rainbows and smiley faces?
110/365-2 Gathered
“Happy Easter” This year’s Lenten journey was a meaningful one for me, filled with much opportunity for prayer and reflection. That makes the Holy Week liturgies all the more meaningful and the celebration of Christ’s resurrection a time of pure joy. All that said, by the time I had sung the seventh service in five days, three of which in a period of sixteen hours, I was exhausted. We did have a family gathering for lunch after the second…
