From my coffee drinking station…
Time to dust off this blog, refocus, make a plan, and begin.
I love taking pictures. I love letting them speak for me. I love looking at things, seeing them in a different light, or from a different point of view, and then I love sending them to my kids and friends. A glimpse of the day!
I have been wrestling with how to use this blog in a meaningful way, in an enjoyable way, and still learn something for myself. So I am going to practice seeing, snapping pictures, and posting them here. I intend to explore and broaden my own vision and sense of composition, and SEE.
Fewer words, unless I just can’t help myself. No particular theme, unless one shows up… just views, glimpses, and experimentation.
My goal is to post once a month, give or take. My practice will be to explore—random and eclectic, weird and wacky, quiet and meditative, color or not, identifiable or not. Play, see, capture.
So to begin, a few pictures from the past year or so to remind myself that the creative juices have been simmering even though I circled my wagons to cope with trying times.
You are welcome to come along for the ride! Cheers!
The pumpkin made me smile.
Good to hear, Lynn! Me too! There is just something cheerful about a pumpkin. Cheers!
I enjoyed the pictures. Nice socks. Did you knit them
Hey, Caren! Thank you! Yes, I made the socks—my kinda fun. I am glad you like the socks and the pictures—always good to hear from you.💛
Love your photos. They are inspiration.
That’s just what I hope, Helen. Thank you!💛
Love these.
Thank you, Gretchen. Glad to hear it!💛
I love seeing your photos … especially the ones with ice and snow, which may say something about my very northerly soul. I hope you’re well, Cynthia, and finding nuggets of joy and wonder and creativity in every day. Cheers!
Thank you, Linda! I am quite partial to snow and ice too, at least for a few days…. Cheers to you too!💛
I haven’t visited for a while, and now – surprise, surprise a new post! Your plan to experiment with ways of looking and images sounds great and very enjoyable, both for yourself and us readers. Enjoyed these already. I see a theme: wintry cold and warming colours. Am looking forward to seeing where this is going to take you.
Thank you, Marijke! I looking forward to my new camera/phone arriving soon. I am a point and shoot kind’a gal. I love it when technology makes it easy. 💛
Really being able to see things is a gift. Behind a lens helps you get rid of all the clutter. I am meeting a young artist today. I have hopes that I can give a helping hand to her, teaching her some of my skills n hoping to learn some stuff from her! Sharing. Remember when we could share so easily? Xox
I DO remember those good moments of connection. Learning and sharing, that’s the good stuff. It is a pleasure to hear from you, Randy!💛
