“Tangrams” Weber is not a game player and I couldn’t bring myself to photograph a game of Words With Friends or Scramble With Friends on my iPad so I had go for a game that I can play by myself. I have loved Tangrams since I was a child. There is still something so fascinating to me about the thousands of shapes that are possible by combining these seven geometric pieces.
“It’s Not Easy Being Green” Today is another day of life going on regardless of plans. Friday night a group from Resounding Harmony sang at the Dallas Museum of Art. By the end of the performance, I had no voice. This was a relatively short performance so having no voice was not a particularly good sign. When I woke up yesterday, I was seriously congested. I had a hellacious cold. By this morning, it had moved into my chest….
“Imagine Green” What’s that saying, “life is what happens while you are busy making plans?” That pretty much sums up this weekend for us. We had an al-day class on Saturday. Afterwards we decided to go test drive (well, not me) one of the cars we saw at the Auto Show the other night. We bought it. It is a nice car and the manufacturer had nice incentives. We have been talking on and off about getting a new car;…
“Paint the Field Green” Today is an absolutely gorgeous day; it definitely feels like spring. The grass, however, is still looking like winter – brown and crunchy. The only green growth seems to be primarily weeds, a sign that we are behind in applying the pre-emergent weed killer! There were no pretty fields of green to photograph so my Lego mini artist decided to help me out by painting a green field. If he works diligently, he should make it…
“My Neck of the Woods” Today’s prompt of “branch” was probably meant to inspire some beautiful shots of budding spring trees. We have a few of those around, but, as you can see, I took a different approach. Being that I live in the city of Farmers Branch, I decided on one of those photos that falls into the “making it personal” realm. This is our street sign with our city’s logo. And just for good measure, there are a…
Another day posted late – I’m turning into a slacker! Despite the fact that Saturday’s (yesterday’s) prompt was the one a loathe most each month, the self portrait, I took the photos early in the day. I just didn’t manage to get them posted before we went out for the evening with friends. I was happy, or as happy as I can get, with two of the who knows how many shots I took. “Serious Saturday” I am trying to…
I forgot to post this last night. I’m not sure why my routine fell apart. It may have had something to do with the awesome chocolate chip scone I had as an evening snack. Brooke makes them and freezes them for me so that I can dole the scones out to myself as treats in between her visits. “A Slice of Our Mornings” After twenty years of packing lunches for the girls, my lunch packing days are over. Weber makes…
“My Two Favorite Colors” There is not much explanation or elaboration needed here. Anyone who knows me or has visited our home knows that blue and orange rock my world. I have been working on another photo project around the theme of “two.” The assignment was to create a diptych. Various ideas have been bouncing around in my head for the past three weeks. I finally set out this past weekend to do something about making the ideas into a…
“Handle On Life” What makes someone think that photographing an everyday door handle is a good idea or even an interesting idea? When challenged to photograph something ” from the side,” most people would think profile – of a person. I never said that my mind works in the same way as most people’s. Or, for that matter, any people’s. I took this picture a few days ago, but intentionally for today’s prompt. It is the handle, from the side,…
“Peanut Butter and Celery” “Hello World!” Happy Monday everyone! I hope you have a good week.
