“My Eyes” My eyes…so much can be said about them. For many, the eyes I have have are their greatest fear; these eyes are legally blind. There are many things that they prevent me from doing, and many other things that are just more challenging for me because of my eyes. It would be easy to get stuck on all of the negatives associated with my eyes and their vision, but what would be the point in that? These are…
“Circle Of Life” I don’t think that this image necessarily has a unique perspective, but what drew my attention to it is the ring of spent iris blooms encircling the one young and beautiful flower. As I looked at this, I thought about how important it is for the wisdom and experience of age to wrap its arms around youth and innocence. I also noticed the changing face of beauty. Though most eyes are drawn immediately to the big colorful…
“Seeing The Bright Side” May is eye health month and being that healthy vision is important to photographers, many of the Capture Your 365 prompts this month relate to vision, eyes and seeing. This could be a challenge to the blind kid here:-) Actually, I like the prompts that challenge me to look carefully and intentionally at my inner world as well as my outer world. For me, photography definitely has some challenges because of my vision, but working to…
“Sweet Music”
“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…
“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”…
“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?
‘Welcome Not much time for picture taking today, but part of our house now is clean! We are off to church for the Easter Vigil. It is a beautiful service though long. It feels even longer knowing that I have to be right back there tomorrow morning for two more services. Come the Monday after Easter, Christ is risen and church musicians are dead. Easter blessings to all!
“To-and-fro” Today’s photo prompt is one of the recurring monthly prompts for 2014. Its goal is to encourage us to literally look at the the places in which we stand during the day. Though my week started off chilly, it is finally beginning to look and feel like spring in Dallas. This makes my walk from school all the more enjoyable. I like seeing the newly planted gardens along my way and marking their progress from week to week….
“Art Imitates Life” Nothing more needs to be said here…
