Giving Thanks…

…for all the big things…Family, Friends, Health, Food, Shelter, the Land and Sea… and for all the small things….melted butter, fleece jackets, children’s artwork, a good story, the smell of hot apple cider, the dance of a dry leaf caught in a whirlwind, the sound of a camera’s shutter…

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.  ~Thornton Wilder

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am participating in a blog hop sponsored by some wonderful photographers at Mortal Muses.  I will be thankful if I can find some time to visit each and every link!

Picturing Fall…

Throughout the month of October I participated in Picture Fall, a photography workshop held by Tracey Clark, the founder of Shutter Sisters.  Every day my inbox held a beautifully written assignment with accompanying photography tips.  Every day I was inspired to take photos and share them at the online class site.   Some days I liked what I did and some days I didn’t but I tried to submit something every day.  I loved meeting other photographers of all levels and learned from each of them. I did find that extra encouragement very helpful.  On the other hand I did find it very time consuming to take so many photos, edit them, upload them, and comment on other submitted photos.  I haven’t taken many photos since the workshop ended…Burnout?

I may be crazy but I plan to participate in Picture the Holidays in December…
