When I visited with my parents for Thanksgiving I met their next door neighbor, Laura. She’s a hooker. And, she’s good at it. And to be a good hooker (rug maker), as any craft, take years of practice. She’s been at it for several years and when you see her work you will know that.  Laura will sit outside, soak up the warm sun and and hook to her little hearts content.

Patterns
In Sarasota last night. I took a walk around the block in the  afternoon, and then ate a place called Barnacle Bills. I’ve eaten there twice now and had good seafood both times. I highly recommend their Seafood Strudel. The walk back was good exercise and for this guy from the Colorado Front Range the plants in Florida are so interesting to me. Just outside the hotel door was this palm plant (tree). I know very little about these plants but this pattern of its leaves was awesome. I moved all over the place taking images from every angle I could find. Again showing the world my fascination with photography. This was my favorite. In Lightroom I converted it to black and white, reduced the exposure and tweaked the contrast a bit with tone curves. It’s been a good afternoon and evening. I liked the results of this image, the dinner was good (had salmon this time and it was in my price range). I then finished off the evening poolside with an iced mocha latte and did a bit of writing.

Images Everywhere
There is an image everywhere we look, we just have to see them.

Makes Sense to Me
I was poolside at our hotel in Savannah and noticed this warning: 3 feet and no diving. Makes sense to me.

On Sale
Not much to say today but posted an image with some color in it.

“The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.”

Need to look up…
When taking my camera for a walk, since I don’t have a Hobbs or a Foster, I need to always remember to look all around me which means I also need to look up. Never know what I might see. 🙂
