“Stability” I am focused on this week’s overarching photo theme of balance. Weber is pretty good about talking sense into me when I am way off base, he’ll hold my hand to keep me from straying too far off the path, and he’ll stand with me to help me stay grounded. Trust me, all of that is hard work! As classes started today with my ridiculous teaching load and I am still in the midst of settling my dad’s affairs,…
“Good-bye, Lewes.” A lonely tree on the way out of town…
“Balance and Sacrifice” We are in Delaware going through all of the stuff in my dad’s house. It was my grandparents so there is two generations and then some of family “stuff” here. I am trying to make decisions about what to keep for me and for my girls, what to donate, what to auction, and what to get rid of. I am doing my best to be realistic about what we can use and what we have room for…
“Sand” There was no powdery snow in Lewes today, but there was some loose sand on the beach.
“Snow Geese”” According to my Garmin Vivosmart wristband, I had one hour and fifty-four minutes of sleep last last. I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I spent most of the day working on material for my new joint blog project (www.pixelsplatesandlols.blogspot.com) That meant that at midnight last night I was just beginning to pack for our weekend trip to Delaware. We had a 5am flight, which meant getting up at 2:30am to leave for the airport by 3:15. We had…
“Sunshine and Steps” Today was the first day that we have had a taste of sunshine in many days. It is also the first day that I have ventured out for a “real” walk since before Christmas when I broke my leg. It was so nice to get outside in some fresh, though brisk, air and get some exercise. I so enjoyed my walk to the grocery store. My leg was not as happy as the rest of me, but…
‘A Positive Sign” For Christmas Weber bought a box of “Pop Open Cards.” They are much like fortune cookies in that you open them up and each contains a different inspirational message. I consider the one that I opened this morning as a positive sign. A good friend from Capture Your 365 and I have begun writing a blog together. Though we have been working on it for a little while and the first post has be out there for…
“Brooke’s Tea Cup” A struggled with this particular prompt. A wandered around all day looking for something white with a pop of color. After several uninspired attempts at just photographing “something” that resulted in epic fails, I was about to give up when I turned around and spotted Brooke’s dirty tea cup on the kitchen counter. Most of the time the fact that how the dishwasher works seems to elude my 25 year old daughter, tonight it worked to my…
“Fire and Ice” Though it was chilly today, it was not chilly enough for frost so I had to go a different route with today’s prompt. With sincere apologies to Robert Frost, here is my silly illustration of his poem Fire and Ice. Some say the world will end in fire; Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for…
“A Picture of Albinism” White? I have white covered. I’m glad for the days when I don’t have to think too hard about the daily prompts.
