Fun with Photos

Carly prompts us with Photo Shoot #22: Rocks and Stones

Not only do I enjoy collecting them, I take pictures of them too. Here, my pal T and I are breaking in our new Nikons.

Baracko Bama!

I find it hard to put into words what our recent election means to me. Others around the globe have so adequately expressed many of my sentiments, if not in words, in pictures. This one is from our local paper by Jack Ohman. My friend's four year old grandson puts it well:

"Baracko Bama!"

New Lens on a Perfect Day

I managed these photos last weekend at the beach with my new telephoto lens. The weather was sixty-one degrees and as you can see, blue skies. Caught the gulls in flight and the Red Breasted Nuthatch having breakfast.

Not of This Season

It pays to weed the garden; found this little friend among the roses.

This week's pondering is "Since “Inspiration” is (or should) the theme this week … what is your reading inspired by?

Often my inspiration is really driven by where I am - physically: in bed, on vacation, sitting on the pot! I am also driven to read non-fiction when my head needs to be challenged and I pick up something way out of my comfort zone to include science, genetics, philosophy. I usually read fiction in the winter, but I'm pretty picky about the fiction I read. It has to be more than an escape. I want intelligent fiction, which is why historical fiction attracts me. And quite often, I'm inspired to read that which my "mentors" are reading - to learn more, have more fun, or be challenged. I seldom read reviews. Books have a way of finding me. And I always delight in the plethra of childrens' books that out does anything I ever had as a child!
