Wednesdays are long days. The best I have to offer is my daily haiku… The season changes Year’s perfect end approaching. Where is the weather? …and today’s photo taken very late tonight. The prompt was “rushing.” I rushed to get a photo taken while trying to get several others things done.
One thing that I have learned, because the lesson has been shown to me time and time again, is that no doors ever really shut in life. Our existence involves continuous movement, an unchoreographed dance, through a constantly revolving door. The variables that impact where that door leads include how quickly the door turns, how we embrace our perspective at the present point of rotation, and who else is making their way through the door with us. Today was bittersweet…
The calendar says that fall will be here in two days, but for my creative self, it is spring that is dawning after a five month dormant season here. Unlike the plants and animals who know that they need fall and winter to rest and rejuvenate, I was unaware that my spirit was longing for that time. I have been doing other creative things, including other types of writing, but in the past few weeks, I have been hit…
“Twirly Skirt” I grabbed my daughter this afternoon hoping to get a few practice shots for the portraits class. She said, “Don’t you want to take pictures of me in my twirly skirt?” For a brief moment I was transported back to when she was three rather than twenty five. It was a fun few minutes that we shared. The photos aren’t technically very good, because neither one of us was being too serious about the whole thing, but we…
“Amen” Sometimes it is just a little comfort food and an “amen” to the end of a long day rather than “cheers.” Simple things like a good cup of black coffee and graham crackers are a perfect end to the day as far as I am concerned.
“Where I Stand” I am not feeling the camera love today, or any other love for that matter. I have a ton of stuff on my plate right. Life seems to be either feast or famine. Right now it is feast, but unfortunately the fare is not comfort food! And on top of that, I have done something to make my back really mad at me. It is retaliating by causing me great pain. Deep down I know that I…
“A Bunch of Good Advice” I love it when the wisdom that I need in that moment comes to me while capturing my daily photo. This little monkey is my inspiration for today.
“Dappled Duck” I went outside in the middle of the afternoon in the dappled light to shoot some photos of the newest irises to bloom in our yard. I was surprised to hear this guy talking to himself as he strolled around the yard. I’m not sure where he came from or where he was going. The irises will be there tomorrow; I’m not sure about this dappled duck so he became today’s POTD. Here are a couple of shots…
“Easter Afternoon” Between six church services in the past few days, dinner last night with family, and lunch this afternoon with friends, there has been much gathering together in our life over the past few days, but none of it did I photograph. This afternoon, once Jesus was raised and all else was said and done, it was a quiet afternoon with just the two of us at home. I managed a few shots before Weber took a nap in…
“Good Friday” This has nothing to do with today’s prompt and everything to do with today.
