“A Man, A Plan, A Hat” We are wrapping up May and Healthy Vision Month. Today’s reference to safety was directed towards eye safety and the importance of wearing sunglasses. Weber is very good about wearing his sunglasses. He also is good about wearing his hat in the winter to keep his bald head warm and in the summer to keep it from getting sunburned. I, on the other hand, should wear a hat and sunglasses all the time, but…
‘Twenty” Keepin’ it real today…this is a fairly common image of my everyday. The number associated with the unread emails in my Inbox has a few more digits.
“Questions” Today was my first day of my summer break. I turned all of my grades in Friday afternoon, but today was the first day that I should have gone to work that I didn’t. It was a pretty awesome day! I got up with Weber and for a change, I made breakfast and his lunch. When we both leave in the morning, he does both of these chores because I am much slower with my morning routine. After he…
“Growing Pains” Technically this is not a good photo, but it is a perfect photo for me today. I got a new super zoom lens. It is HUGE! So huge, in fact, that the camera store did not have a UV filter large enough in stock. It is now on order. I was hesitant to do too much with the lens until the filter comes in, but I couldn’t resist a few shots. The lens weighs a little over four…
“Morning Pages” I call it disciplined; many members of my family call it anal retentive or OCD. With many aspects of my life, mostly the creative ones, I am incredibly disciplined. With things like keeping my email inbox cleared out, not so much. With the things I choose to be disciplined about, I am ever faithful to the practice. In thinking today about how to photograph the discipline in my life, I decided to focus on the one thing…
“Walking” I’m not much on exercise for exercise sake, but I do enjoy walking as my primary mode of transportation. Harley likes to go for walks too. She is much better behaved on her leash than Adidas so she got the honor of being in today’s photo because I knew I could deal with her and my camera at the same time. The same could not be said of Adidas and the camera!
“Scheduled Sabbath” Right now there are way too many things going on in my world. I am counting the minutes (actually the number of exams) until this semester is over. To put it simply, I am exhausted. I have learned to say “no” to a few things, but I still don’t seem to get enough rest. In the past I have been advised to put sabbath time on my calendar and treat it like any other appointment. I need to…
“Entrusted” Trust is both a scary and wonderful thing whether you are on the giving end or the receiving end.
“Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience” Innocence is not exactly a word that I would associate with Brooke. I am not being judgmental, just realistic. She played college rugby. They drank beer out of cleats. That right there says it all, don’t you think? I had to stretch things to make today’s prompt work even a little. Brooke has always loved reading. When she was tiny and innocent, I read to her all the time. In this photo she…
“Good For A Laugh!” They say that art mimics life. Scott Hilburn, who draws the Argyle Sweater, must have been at my house and observed my life.. I have a shelf that looks just like this! Well, not exactly like this. Most of my heads are attached to bodies, but they can be shared at a moment’s notice. I feel vindicated! Obviously if the obsessive collecting of Lego mini figures has made it to the comic strips I am not…
