we hold on to the things that are comfortable
its so hard to let go and do something dangerous
the same old patterned days lay ahead
when will they be different?
"I went to this place by a coincidence while I was walking with a friend in (N Michigan Ave, Chicago) I found this weird/unique type of shops. They got like plenty of Singers everywhere. They even got the old antique huge Singers, for sewing clothes! I love that place! But not the clothes.. ROFL ROFL"

I decided to explore the redwoods for 6 days and I did, hitting 5 redwood state parks and 16 groves. But, for me, none of these parks are as majestical and awe-inspiring as Jedediah Smith. Overall, the trees are the biggest I have seen in any of the parks. Colossal mammoths that make you seem small, and you realize you really are...
I drove in very excited, as if I was the kid entering Disneyland. This was not the first time I had been here, but I find the park never gets old, no matter how many times I visit. As soon as I was surrounded by these old tranquil giants, I stopped the car and got out. I laid in the middle of the road and just stared at the incredible beauty above me. It was quiet. It was perfect... After a few minutes, a car began to approach my spot. I got up as fast as I could-which is not very fast these days-and walked to the edge of the road. The occupants of the car had seen me in the road and when they passed, they just smiled and waved, as if they just knew what I was doing. Once the car passed I noticed this beautiful scene and captured it, for all to see...
Don't miss Jedediah Smith Park, it's such a gem!

I'm starting my own 365 project. It looks like a cool idea, I also hate forgetting things, so this will be yet another way to remember everything!
I have to say I didn't know taking a self-portrait would be so hard! I find I get very awkward in front a of camera. (That's is why I look angry... the other pictures I took where I am smiling look 'fake-camera smile'). So I will have to work on being more comfortable in front of the camera!
Stay tuned, its going to be a fun year!
Project started on August 11th

My little granddaughter, Rosie May, dutifully modelling for me at our belated Thanksgiving day meal on Sunday. (Everyone comes to dinner with a pop-up backdrop, pair of SB-600s, PowerSnoots and a range of lenses, right? That's perfectly normal. So why don't my family believe me?)
Thought I'd never have another shot in Explore. This squeaked in for November 27th. Highest position - 244.
Friday 21 October - Just noticed that this has got into [Explore] at 332!

Yesterday while shopping at HEB grocery store I needed some Ginger to make our pickled Ginger slices, cut paper thin and picked with apple cider vinegar, onions and garlic. with half a cup of sugar. Great with salads.
I decided to capture this unique looking Ginger root, which to me ressembles a mythical Griffin of some sort, from tropical Asiatic & polynesian herbs of a family Zingiberaceae.

Thanks to all for helping this one make it to EXPLORE!!!!
It's time to head to the beach. The wind blows through your hair. The warm sun bathes your skin. Soft golden sand caresses your feet. The waves sing to a perfect rhythm and the coconut trees gently sway against the breeze. If you love the sun and the sea, the beach is the right destination for you. So grab your sun tan lotion and your Frisbee and go frolicking to the beach.
