Blue on Blue

Friday's moment, I spent the day working on orders and contacting customers, listing things in my Etsy shop so I didn't go looking for an artistic shot or even go watch my birdies. I put my prime lens on the camera, I rarely use it and I need to learn how. I like the soft blur of everything except the earrings on this. It does work well for photographing my merchandise. I guess Friday's moment was a teaching or learning moment.

Old Iron

Saturday's moment (October 29th). Took a short walk around mom and dads farm place. I love this place, full of old treasures; rusted cars, vintage machinery, weathered buildings a windmill and this wonderful old bed frame. I love this piece, dad said I could have it, one day I'll bring it home with me and put it in my flower bed for viney things to climb up.

Spring Buds! March 22, 2010

My grandma always kept geraniums in soup cans (instead of flower pots) on a shelf by the window in her dining room all winter long. There were always blooms, I have pics of a Christmas get-together and there were geraniums blooming! I try to bring in a few each fall and have had them bloom for me at Christmas as well. This winter I did not bring them in but have this one my sis gave me years ago, it is blooming for me now just in time for spring. Funny sometimes the things we remember, the traditions we find ourselves enjoying and the connections we have to loved ones. You may not have a geranium in a soup can on your window sill but I hope that you enjoy some little tradition that brings pleasant memories of the past and loved ones passed on. If not, it is never to late to start a tradition!

Happy New Year December 25, 2009

Happy New Year, originally uploaded by picturethepromises.

Christmas is fast fading and will soon be just memories. The moments of our lives come and go quickly. The memories fade, the details can get fuzzy. Sometimes we look back, longing for what has been. Sometimes we look forward waiting for what is to come. I want to stop and immerse myself in the moment, the here and now. I want the memories of the past to be sharp because I was in them. I want whatever the future holds to entice and inspire me, so that when the future comes, I am delighted by the here and now.
Remember yesterday, be present in the present and wait with anticipation for tomorrow.
