“Me in March” Here is the day’s runner-up. My first two selfies of the year were both black and whites. Today I had to decide whether to be “consistent” or to break out of my two month pattern. I opted for the color photo because it shows the outdoor aspect of today’s prompt a little better.
“A Hug” No matter the challenges, heartache, disappointments, frustration in life, most of the time a hug will do wonders to keep you going. As I came to the end of a busy day, a busy week, and a busy month, this was a much needed and a much appreciated hug!
‘A Moment of Silence” This evening I was able to seize a few much needed moments of stillness and silence.
‘Smile” “Smile!” One of my goals this year is to make sure that I get at least one photo of each of the girls every month. This is easy with Erin because she is a willing model. Brooke, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. When it comes to photographing her, I just have to go for it knowing that it has the potential to be an unpleasant experience for all involved. There are several things about my goal…
“Dare To Be Different!” Today was a busy day with not much time to think about what to photograph. Considering that, I do like the way this came out, but I have to say that I think that it has more to do with luck than skill. I particularly like this quote. It is one that has taken me a lifetime to embrace; I am almost there. On a different note regarding “being different,” I wish that my schedule…
“Take Me Away” I have zero energy to escape anywhere tonight other than to bed with a book. I may be able to make it through a page or two before falling asleep. I wish today was Friday!
` ‘Crossing” I love the fact that I can walk to and from school, especially when the temperatures are perfect like they were today. It has been a fews weeks since I have walked because it has been so cold, windy and wet. This time last week we were bracing for a potential ice storm; fortunately, it did not materialize in our area. Today’s prompt, “Where I Stand” is one that repeats each month, one that is intended to paint…
“Gray Icy Day” I know that much of the country has been blanketed with snow for days, weeks and months and that they are all quite ready for it to melt. I wish that we would have a little of it here. Snow is so much more tolerable than the nasty freezing rain and “ice pellets” that are predicted for the Dallas area. We’ll see what happens overnight. It either needs to be enough to cancel school or not happen…
“Thoughts and Feelings” We were surprised this morning by a light dusting of snow. Though it was bitter cold, I ventured outside determined to get a good macro shot of snowflakes. I spent about 15-20 minutes outside; that was all the 18 degree temperatures that my hands could take. When I came inside, I immediately uploaded the pictures to the computer; dismal failure! Though I had some OK shots of the snow in general, the snowflakes themselves eluded me. Noticing…
