“I’ve Been Framed” It is amazing how much you can get done on a Saturday when you get up at 6am! We were up early because I had a 7:30 dentist appointment. (This appointment was original at 9, but Erin needed an emergency root canal and rather than make her get up for the early time, I swapped with her.) After we had both endured having our mouths tromped through, we went shopping for some accessories to go with her…
“Truth In Advertising” I don’t know if the prompts this week aren’t inspiring or if my photos are just uninspired, but I am not feeling the photographic love right now. Maybe this is because I have been at home for two days grading papers and doing laundry. Perhaps I need to get out into the real world over the weekend. Whatever the problem, I apologize for the less than exciting pictures. I may just be bitter about today’s prompt being…
“Good Vibrations, Please!” As a clarinetist, I am always at the mercy of my reed for a good performance.
“Bubble Wrap and Chicken Wire” I have learned that Wednesdays are not days for me to expect anything good to come of my picture taking. I have so little time for the things I need to do forget the things I want to do. I was hurrying across campus this afternoon and first noticed the slim tree framed by the edges of two buildings. Then I saw the “art” – I believe it is bubble wrap encased in chicken wire….
“A Tree Begging To Be Noticed” I am fortunate to be able to walk the mile and a half to and from work (school) each day. This way I get some exercise and am able to do a little to reduce my carbon footprint. As I am walk, I am usually thinking about my destination – what do I need to do when I get to school or what is waiting for me when I get home. On the edge…
“Peanut Butter and Celery” “Hello World!” Happy Monday everyone! I hope you have a good week.
“Dandelion” Though the temperatures around here have been fairly mild during the month of February, it is still winter; nothing is blooming yet. When I read today’s prompt, “color from the garden,” I knew that I was in for a challenge. I figured the best I would be able to do was to photograph the bright red berries on the holly tree. Ever optimistic, I decided to take a stroll around the yard. As I suspected there wasn’t anything ….
“Canine Bliss” Before the year is up (or maybe the month), everyone in my family is going to start running every time they see me heading toward them with my camera. They are all fair game as far as I am concerned. Today was Adidas’s turn. He was so intent on chewing his bone, though, that he barely even noticed me. He did stop to give me one of “those looks.”
“Pride and Awareness” Erin, Edgar Weber and I (and anyone else who would like to join us) have formed a team to walk for the North Texas Walk for Lupus on March 30. Erin is ready to start soliciting sponsors. I’m proud to have her on my team every day!
“Words of Love” I am not one of those people who saves every card and letter that I get, though sometimes I wish I was. It’s not that I’m not sentimental; it’s that I don’t like all of the clutter. I know, I know, I shouldn’t consider cards clutter. I guess I am lucky to be able to say that through my lifetime I have received so many cards and letters that I honestly don’t know what I would do…
