“Saturday Sunshine and Silence” We are enjoying a day of sunshine and silence while on retreat. Today, being the second Saturday of the month, is self portrait day. I must say, that being away in solitude made me approach the task this month with a better attitude than I have had the previous four months. I am becoming slightly more at ease with the process and also a little less anxious about the product. Perhaps by the end of the…
“Friday Night Showers” We are on retreat this weekend so I am posting from my iPad. This doesn’t give me the formatting options that the “big” computer does so please forgive any strangeness in the way things look for the next few days. We are having nice spring showers tonight. This shot was taken from beneath an umbrella looking toward a light so that the raindrops are visible through the umbrella. I’m not completely satisfied with this image, but I…
“Watchin’ TV” Adidas loves to watch TV where animals are prominent. He likes anything with four legs – including the Geico gecko. Unfortunately he barks and carries on so getting a decent picture is next to impossible This is not a good photo but it is definitely a glimpse of what life is like at our house.
“Nacho Average Snack” In Texas, nachos are always a great snack.
“Nibbles of Shortbread” Obviously I failed to post this last night. By some mis-alignment of the planets, we had no candy to speak of for me to use in this prompt. The cacao nibs were the closest thing I could find. Brooke used them to make shortbread, and several other amazing sweet things, for me to take to school for a student recital. Her shortbread with these little nibs of chocolate are my new favorite cookie! “Shortbread” Yum!
‘So Many Choices!” Today’s photo represents a lack of energy and a lack of creativity. Some days are just that way.
“The Last of the Bluebonnets” It’s hard to believe that this year’s bluebonnet season is nearly over and that we are a week into May. And, there are only two weeks left in this semester. Where has the time gone? Oh yeah, it has gone to lesson plans and grading papers and attending rehearsals and recitals and taking pictures. Though it has been a good semester, I am ready for a break. The bluebonnets in this picture are just about…
“Peace in the Park” I love the peacefulness of this path which meanders through our city’s rose garden. I really like the simplicity of this image.
“A Few Of My Favorite Things” Because orange is my favorite color, I had lots of possibilities for today’s picture. It was hard to decide which direction to go. I finally decided to go with an image of several of my favorite things – the color orange, oranges and yarn with which to knit.
“Eye of the Beloved”
