Another day that nearly got away, even though I wrote this little note to myself!
Our Daily Challenge: begins with N
Utata's Iron Photographer challenge #224 inspires photos with the following elements:
1 - something to drink (rum, for some)
2 - a note to self (while cooking)
3 - soft color (vibrance, saturation turned down)
The "soft color" component is poorly defined, so I chose a pastel post-it then, in lightroom, turned down vibrance and saturation by 20%.
Note-to-self:
"Focus on your vision and keep going until you hit the finish line. Don't be one of the people who believe in their vision at first but then give up. See it through, no matter how long it takes. Understand that obstacles are just part of the game. Whatever you imagine, you can achieve. Once you realize this truth, no one is going to be able to stop you."
Russell Simmons

Note to self: it's time.
Get your head out of the clouds.
Come back down for me.
It does you no good;
The air's much thinner up there,
And what you need, love,
Is to breathe in deep.
Come down to the rest of us;
Take a break from dreams.
A thinking day, but it shouldn't be.
100/365.
First of all, View this large. Press L.
Flickr sharpening! :(
It feels so nice to reach the 3-digit mark in this 365 project. I have grown each day as an artist in various aspects whether it be practicing editing techniques or implementing random ideas. And this is why I didn't give up today while clicking this. First time, the frame wasn't right along with the timing. Second time, all out of focus images. Bah! I nearly gave up. Third time, oh yes! Falling into the dirty water was worth it. Since photography is a never ending learning experience, my enthusiasm to click pictures is not going to be any low. This is why I feel, tomorrow (101/365) I will be born again.

Don't give up now, you are almost there... 361 down, just 4 more to go....
When I attempted to do the 365 days self-portrait challenge back in 2008 I gave up when I only had 20 pictures to finish... Just like so many other things in life, I have given up when I got so close to my goal... But not this time. I am going to finish this! So, stay tuned... :)

Nature Gives Up on a Weak Winter, Brings on Spring
For weeks, Flickr folk have been posting photographs of flowers and budding trees. I’ve sat and looked out over brown yards and bare trees. Well, no more. I found this clump of fescue growing in my dooryard, and a few more in the dog yard. For obvious reasons, I didn’t want to crawl around inside the front fence shooting hummocks of grass (the occasional dog bomb being only one reason) so I braved the sog and crouched in the back yard with my tripod at its lowest. The ground was still wet from the night before’s freshet, so I wound up with the left knee of my jeans nasty muddy, but it was worth it.
Oh, and yeah: Note to Self: check at Ocean State Job Lot and see if they have any knee pads...

Now spring has sprung the cyclotron,
How now browse thou, Brown Cow?

Like most women these days, I have been taught that I need to be perfect. A perfect mother, a perfect wife, a perfect daughter...a perfect size...picture perfect in every way. One of my goals this year is to spend more time loving the person I am, inside and out. I will strive to not be so hard on myself. I will try to look at myself through my daughter's eyes and love myself - all of me. Accepting my faults and acknowledging my strengths will show my daughter that being imperfect IS perfection.
so much to do... so little time...
(and even less memory capacity at the moment!)
I've spent all week seemingly behind, out of sorts and just overwhelmed with it all.I was sure most the day it was really supposed to be Friday. *sigh*
if there's anything to rejoice in, it's the fact that I've hit a bit of a milestone: 25 days. w00t!
yeah, that. and Jesus loves me. Big time. *shrug* so it's all good!
