"Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."
.:: Lao Tsu ::.
Created for Beyond Layers eCourse with Kim Klassen, using her textures Plaster Squared, Just Cause and Dusty Rose. This week's challenge is to create an image to represent a single word. Our word is contentment. ♥ We like having a little spring-like corner in our home during the winter days. It might not seem much, but it’s enough to brighten up the gloomy and rainy days.
Images like this are out of our comfort zone, but we hope to get better over time.

Tracey Clark's Picture Fall Day 25: Fall Colors (Day 24 is missing -- will get to that eventually, I hope)
* * * * *
This summer I went through some kind of hell that I am still unable to be open about, and everyone here was so understanding. I want to thank you all. Things are not back to normal, but we are our of crisis mode. Taking photos and sharing them with my friends on Flickr is one of the things that's helped keep my head above water.
Four of you wrote me really lovely Flickr testimonials during this time, and I was so overwhelmed, I didn't even notice at first and once I did notice, although each testimonial brought me some much-appreciated sunshine, I never gave proper thank you's.
So I am sorry this took me so long, but on Saturday, when I saw this heart, I immediately thought of the love I wanted to show Anya, Gudrun, Aia, and Holly for their testimonials. I encourage everyone to visit their streams. They live in four different countries, but they all share an expressiveness in their photography that never fails to touch me. They all have many facets to their creativity. I will limit myself here to writing just a few of the things I love about each of them.
Anya's self-portraits are what drew me into her stream. There are so many things I love about them, but one is her use of space, using herself as part of a landscape. Anya is a woman of few words, but she doesn't need them -- her photos tell stories. There is calmness and love in Anya's photos that always soothes me.
Gudrun, is a designer, and it shows in her photography. Her composition, colors, crisp white backgrounds, and creative use of a wide angle lens and interesting perspectives are what jump out at me. She is a wonderful photographer, but I also get the sense that everything she touches takes on her beautiful sense of design. Her son, Torfi, is one of the most adorable children you will ever see -- he makes a great model.
I have known Aia for a long time now -- on another photography forum before I started taking flickr seriously (and that was nearly a year ago), and I feel like we've grown together. I've watched her progress in her gear and her skills, and I've always loved the way she shows quiet emotion in all her photos. Nowadays, she shoots almost entirely with film, and it's a joy to see what comes out of that camera.
Following Holly's stream is like reading the ongoing autobiography of a fascinating woman. Whether she's in the wilderness of South Africa or cruising her own neighborhood in Philadelphia, she takes photos with a journalistic flair. It is as fun to read what she writes about her photos as to see the photos themselves. She writes about the world around her and about her inner soul and always inspires me.
Thank you all for your testimonials and your ongoing friendship and support.
EDIT: I had Gudrun and Aia's links mixed up. They're fixed now.
so. i just had my next roll developed and had a little trouble with it too. i made a little mistake in handling my film last time and the roll was ruined, but this time i also had some similar trouble and there was no mistake in handling this roll. i'm thinking i may have bought a bad pack of film. there were a few shots that turned out okay but most didn't. on the upside...my kodak portra film is on the way :)

for 7DoS: these curves are the windows of a building.
Hub has updated the OS on the computer while I was out today and I'm seeing different fonts ... and I had to get mad at Photos before I found the buttons I was looking for!
I don't know if this is affecting my judgement but I'm not convinced by the tones in this B&W conversion. I'm too tired to fight with it tonight though :(

I am grateful for the companionship, committed love, loyalty of Bob over the past 26 years. I am so glad I am not alone.
Someone once said to me, "how can you stand to go to an island with your husband?! I'd go crazy being with mine day after day after day"
I guess I am also grateful we don't drive each other crazy.
companionship. togetherness. security.
these makes me so grateful

As I walk through the bush I am very weary of the various webs spread through the trees. I love them, I think some are very beautiful, but I would not want one in my face.
