“Elephants and Family” I am always amazed at the things I learn about myself when I am considering the daily photo prompts. Today I realized that I don’t ever think about luck or being lucky. I don’t have any tokens or trinkets that I think bring me luck. I am not particularly superstitious. I am not a risk taker. All this made me realize that I was at a loss as to what to photograph today. It also made me…
“My Two Favorite Colors” There is not much explanation or elaboration needed here. Anyone who knows me or has visited our home knows that blue and orange rock my world. I have been working on another photo project around the theme of “two.” The assignment was to create a diptych. Various ideas have been bouncing around in my head for the past three weeks. I finally set out this past weekend to do something about making the ideas into a…
“0937 Upside Down” There are some things that the iPhone just doesn’t do as well as the good old red display TI calculators from the 70’s!
“Words By Which To Live And Learn” Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
“Sweet Rest” No resting was happening at our house today. Late this afternoon, with no idea was I was going to photograph for today’s prompt, I took a stroll outside. Looking at the closed buds on the irises, I decided that they were resting; there was my picture. “Awake!” As I made my way back around the house, a glimpse of purple caught my attention. Amidst all of the green stems and tightly closed buds was one early bloomer. On…
“Icing on the Cake” During the month of February it seems like everyone except me photographed a cupcake in response to one prompt or another. I finally succumbed to peer pressure. Here is my icing on the cake as we bid farewell to this month of sweets and treats.
“Reality :1, Creativity: 0 For Monday through Thursday, this is the essential equipment I need to get through the day – lesson plans, keys, name badge and a pencil. I have accepted the fact that Wednesday’s photos are not going to be my most creative; however, this is as real as it gets.
“Handle On Life” What makes someone think that photographing an everyday door handle is a good idea or even an interesting idea? When challenged to photograph something ” from the side,” most people would think profile – of a person. I never said that my mind works in the same way as most people’s. Or, for that matter, any people’s. I took this picture a few days ago, but intentionally for today’s prompt. It is the handle, from the side,…
“Measure Of Love” It is funny the things to which you find yourself drawn. This tin measuring cup belonged to Weber’s mom. Though I never knew her, I hear Weber’s stories, read recipes written in her hand and hold this measuring cup and somehow feel like maybe I do know her. Both the blessing and the curse of marrying at fifty years old, plus or minus a few years, is that neither of us had to deal with mother-in-laws. It…
“This Is Why We Sing” Music has been a huge part of my life since I started taking piano lessons at age four. (If you are calculating, that is 47 years.) I am very fortunate to have a job teaching music theory. Though there were so many ways that I could have approached this prompt, I knew immediately that my photo of the day would somehow include Resounding Harmony. Singing with RH is, to me, what music is all about….
