A Great and Happy Weekend to all.....................may the Sunbeams shine brightly in your lives!!
Last evening as I sat on the deck, shot a few pix....................listened to the birds and the kids up the road playing. Then this morning with these beautiful beams, and Coyote Songs in the background.
I PRAISED GOD FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD
If I had a band and we needed an album cover... :-)
This was born from one of my alternate fire alarm shots.
On this beautiful Easter day, I couldn't think of anything that brings more hope than my Savior, the atonement, and knowing he lives again, and because he does, so will we all.
Happy Easter day.
when i tell people i've embarked on a 365 photo project, they look at me as though i have three heads. but there are people who understand me. i first met some of those peeps on the PJJ website, where i became aquainted with many inspiring photographers. and once i began uploading my project to flickr, a whole new world opened up to me. i have developed many relationships here i did not think was possible.
when i began this project, i was quite naive. i thought a photo a day couldn't be that hard. and i thought i had a pretty good eye. coming into flickrland really threw reality at me. hard. and then i began feeling not quite enough, inexperienced and "out-of-my-league". but you accepted me for who i was, and provided encouragement to keep going.
throughout this year, i have recorded joys & sorrow, losses & accomplishments. it felt a little unnerving opening myself up to others, as i can be quite an introvert. but you were my cheerleader, my vote of confidence, a pick-me-up on a bad day. i couldn't have done it without all of you.
my biggest challenge this year, besides life, was when my digital cam got sick. i had full intentions of repairing it, but decided to pick up my bro's old 35mm in the meantime. and i fell in love. mark my words, i will never go back. self-protraits are hard to do, and you don't always know what you are going to get, but i think i have done pretty well. i am a film burner, however, i have no probem with shooting a whole roll in less than a week. i don't mind. in fact, i have visited my local photo lab so often within my project, that they know me by name.
this journey has given me the opportunity to document and reflect on my family's daily lives, all the while capturing some of nature's finest offerings. it has been amazing.
what's next? not exactly sure what's in the cards, but i definitely am not tackling another 365. i want to relax a bit, enjoy the process a little more without the pressure, and i want to focus back into scrapbooking, which took a back burner to this project. i have been tossing some ideas around, and i hope some of those come to reality. i had been blessed with taking a few protrait sessions & have been asked to shoot a wedding next summer. and although i enjoy protraits, i would love to concentrate on prints.
but right now i am looking to the new year, a fresh start. so even though this is the end of the project, it is the beginning to something else. i am not leaving you. just taking a breather. i will still be lurking in your streams, and i will pop in to say hi.
A snappy snap!
Icicles adorn the window of a charity shop on the High Street in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire.
Your silence is star-like, as distant, as true.
I like you calm, as if you were absent:
One word at that moment, a smile, is sufficient.
And I thrill, then, I thrill: that it cannot be so.
-Pablo Neruda Nobel Laureate, Chilean Poet
It's Mothers Day here in Australia and my daughter is right now driving with her fiance from the town where they live to come visit.
I hope all you mums out there enjoy your special day.
When she was younger and lived at home, she used to post on Flickr and dabble with photoshop and we all used to laugh ourselves silly as she would play with the liquify tool and distort images of ourselves.
Little does she know that I still have some of her efforts and I am hoping she still has a sense of humour when she sees I have posted this. If this is my last post, you know what happened.
Felt hats looked great but a bit too hot for this very warm sunny day at Tewkesbury Medieval Festival.
“Aim at [perfection] in everything,
though in most things it is unattainable.
However,
they who aim at it,
and persevere,
will come much nearer to it,
than those whose laziness and despondency,
make them give it up as unattainable.”
- Lord Chesterfield

This photo has been taken from the road that is crossing the sea between the two parts of the netherlands. A little peace of road and you just have the sea, huge, in both sides. An amazing path.
