“When You Wish Upon A Star . . .Your Dreams Come True” Because we had no snow days this year, Weber had today off as it would have been the snow make-up day. We did clean out a closet, but also took time for a little fun. Bubbles are an endless source of entertainment around our house. Today;s prompt focused on eyes. Weber has the most beautiful eyes so I am always happy to photograph them. Here is another of…
“Anthuriums” There is not much blooming in our yard right now. I have not planted any annuals yet, either in the ground or in pots. We are in between the blooming of the irises and the day lilies. So, the best it gets is this anthurium that is living on the back patio. Even it is a little faded. I guess I need to go get some colorful annuals this weekend and do some planting.
Disasters, both natural and human, have plagued my area for the last month. Cities, homes and hearts have been ripped apart in many places by different things. This recent string of events began on April 17th with the fire and explosion at a fertilizer plant in the small town of West, TX, which is about an hour and a half south of Dallas. Not quite a month later, powerful tornadoes ripped through Cleburne and Granbury, also small towns an hour…
“Imaginary Clouds” After several days of threatening storm clouds, there was not even a hint of a cloud in today’s sky. With the prompt of the day being “clouds”, I had two choices; I could either dig a cloud photo out of the archives or I could make some clouds. As tempting as it was to use a photo of clouds that I took exactly a year ago, with the help of my friend Claude, we created our own clouds….
“A Second Chance” Nothing in life is guaranteed; certainly not second chances. But every now and then, we are surprised. The best gift that I have received is a second chance to find love. I pray that all of those who lost their homes and loved ones in Oklahoma on Monday will find the strength and courage to believe in second chances I think my inclination to photograph this as a silhouette may have to do with the…
“Home IS Where My Heart Is” Just as I finished taking this photo yesterday, the news of the terrible devastation in Oklahoma started pouring in. It felt wrong to post a picture of my home when so many people had lost not only their homes but their children and loved ones. My prayers are with all those whose lives have been torn apart by Brother Wind. May God give them strength, courage, love and a sense of community as they…
“Tiger In My Tank” I like my coffee black – no sugar, no cream, no nothing!! The darker and bolder it is, the better!
“The Art in Artichoke”
“A Path of Prayer” One of the things that I have come to love about the Capture Your 365 Project is that it has caused me to learn many things about my own city. It was late this afternoon before I considered what to do for today’s prompt. I have photographed our many parks lots of times and as I ran their paths through my head, nothing struck me as a possible subject for today. This may be because I…
“The Rhythm of Relaxation” A little music listened to through noise reduction headphones will almost always beat the day’s stress out of me.
