“Not Leaving On A Jet Plane” I am a firm believer in bloom where you are planted, even if that means that you are expected to grow and bloom in conditions that are less than ideal. This philosophy made our travels home from San Diego quite pleasurable when others might have been seriously frustrated and angry. We left San Diego Monday afternoon on a 4:15 flight to Dallas with a connection in Phoenix. The first leg of our journey, San…
“Unpacking NOAH” This photo is more appropriate to this blog post than it is to the photo prompt “red,” but it will have to do double duty here if I am to have any chance of catching up with posts and photos! Traveling to the NOAH (National Organization for Albinism and Hypo-pigmentation) conference was an awesome adventure all the way around. We spent lots of time enjoying food, fun, information and time with friends both old and new. Many of us have…
“Airport Fountain” I am way out of sorts as a result of our trip to San Diego. I am still catching up on photos and have taken them out of order. It feels strange to be behind, but that is the way of it. We have had quite the adventure over the past two days trying to get home. Though we are tired, it was all good. More on that later. This photo is for the prompt from last Sunday….
“Sacred Center” I have walked by this plant, whose name I do not know, several time a day for nearly a week. To me, there is something beautifully fascinating about the sacred spiral that is the blueprint that creates the layers of petals. I have also come to realize that I have a love of natural monochromatic images. I love the gradient green tones in this. The spiral in combination with the greens, to me, make this image cry…
“Pacific Sunset” I am missing my photography time! I think I now know what an addict going through withdrawal must feel like. I am finding myself very uncomfortable with the fact that I have no time to give to taking pictures. We did get to the beach for just a few minutes tonight right at sunset. I am sure there is someone fishing out there somewhere:-)
“Have A Coke” This was taken a few days ago. I love this bottle of Coke with my name on it. It was given to me by one of my friends at the NOAH conference. It is so hard to find things with Kris spelled with a “K” rather than “Ch”. I wonder what prompted Coke to do this. Weber and I celebrated our fourth anniversary today. We had a fun day but unfortunately it was a day that resulted…
“Left Too Soon” This is a grave of a young girl who obviously left behind many loved ones. This photo was taken in a cemetery in San Diego’s Old Town.
“Feeling Like Chicken Little” This was our first image of the hotel as we arrived in San Diego Tuesday morning.
“Point of Reflection” ‘Write to the Point” I am still a believer in handwritten everything – journals, cards and letters, lists and agendas. Confession time: I am terrible about putting things on the calendar on my phone, just ask Weber! In my antiquated style, I also love fountain pens. They do require more care and attention to use, but they feel oh so good gliding across the paper. I had a hard time choosing which photo to be “the one”…
“Happiness” There was nothing particularly special about my day today, but I am nonetheless pretty darn happy. I was grasping at straws, well actually gum balls, as far as today’s photo goes; I was “extracting happiness from common things.” I must say, it feels good to be able to do that.
