My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
On one of our overnights all four crew members walked to a nearby restaurant for something to eat and unwind from a day of flying. Of course I carried the camera and as we walked under the underpass the light caught my attention. I stopped and took a couple of images. When I stopped, they all stopped and waited. They tolerate me, too.
I have friends who know I’m a photographer and still like me or maybe that should be tolerate me. Case in point is the above image of Lisa’s cupcake and latte. I didn’t eat it or ask to eat it but I asked to take a few shots of it. She tolerates me.
With the snow fall we had last week I met one of my neighbors and her daughter while they were walking around in the snow. I had been taking images of the snow on the water grate so she asked me to take a few photos with her camera. I gladly did and even took a few snapshots with my camera. I love smiles on young people!
I just haven’t felt like being out in the cold and snow so I’ve been shooting indoors with my macro. I believe they call it practicing. Again, it’s educational to discover what’s simple and within reach that will make an interesting image.
I acquired a new chair about 4 weeks ago. It’s a recliner/rocker and fits my posterior nicely. someone was throwing it away so I hauled it upstairs, bought some upholstery cleaner, scrubbed it down with a sponge, vacuumed it out and poof, we have a new chair for me. Looks like new! One of the things I miss about my condo back in Colorado was the bay window in my bedroom that faced southeast. I enjoyed spending my mornings sitting in a similar rocker with my latte, having quiet time, or reading, or writing and watching the sun come up. It’s a wonderful way to start my day.
Happy New Years to all my blogging friends!
