i really liked this prompt, it was a lot of fun.

this is my portion of a new journal recipe (prompt) for your own journals; sometimes we all need a little reminder and this is a good one.

I am participating in Folded Word's writing month event, called "24/7," during August. Participants spend the first 24 days of the month writing short works, then spend the final week in revisions. The second part of this entry gives more details.

I'm not required to give a central theme to the entries, but I chose the theme "Divinations" and am using a pair of dice to generate prompts. My prompt for August 1 is to write flash fiction about a process of divination that uses water. You can read the piece here.

Hi everyone,

Haven’t you got moments that your finger hit the button too soon? Or pushed the button while putting your camera in your bag?

This happens to me often. And especially when I use my iPhone. The result can be surprisingly beautiful or just very interesting.

Last weekend I was working as a volunteer for a foundation that organizes the yearly ‘hidden garden’ weekend in Rotterdam in June. Eric & I are participating this year and it will be our fourth time. This foundation was present at the botanical gardens in Rotterdam. As a bonus I was able to have a walk in the garden after the work was done. While I was trying to stuff an enormous weeping birch tree in my iPhone Eric was leaning against the big tree trunk. My finger hit the button after giving up on getting the right shot. Was I surprised with the result, it was wonderful.

What is also on my wish list, but I feel too shy to try, is taking shots from ‘the hip’. Walking around on a square or market with my camera in my hand and at the same time shooting around without looking through the viewfinder. (My camera has a ‘Continue’ mode on it so I can shoot more than one shot after focusing. Hope yours has something similar too). Or sitting on a bench in the park with my camera on my lap and shooting in secret. Without people noticing I am shooting. When people don’t see your camera in front of your face they act different. I feel the result can be intriguing. But it can also be used with other subjects than people of course.

Maybe these two things can be combined. Anyway, if you are not happy with the result try processing it. Be creative and make it a work of art.

Have fun this week.

Love,

Jolanda

Bad time - school

I'm not sure why these photos look so washed out, they're not like that in real life. I'm having trouble getting my photographic lighting right, but done is better than perfect, right?

More detail shots in my feed.

Thanks for looking!

Fall has passed long ago and where they came from I don't know, but today I found these heart-shaped chestnuts. Seeing them brings back memories of olive-picking in Colognole, Rufina, Italia. Love in every way.

Prompt #2

The prompt is "On the Fly".

I decided to do a simple pop-up. I wanted to embellish this more, but I seem to do best when I keep it simple.

This is the cover with a question...

Good time - outside

This beach in Greece, Koroni, was fabulous. I didn't get much sun on my face, because I was constantly collecting the most amazing colored stones I had ever seen on a beach. I think we took about a kilo of extra weight home ;-) and the stones are still kept in a special bottle.
