Busy As A Bee
It’s a very frustrating task to photograph a bee. No cooperation whatsoever. It buzzes from flower to flower like it’s getting paid! By the time you focus in — it’s gone. This scenario is very reminiscent of my own thoughts at times. Just as soon as I zero in, another thought elbows its way in.…

Judging
Yes. My cat does judge me. We all do it — everyday and day long. We use our judgment to decide the best course of action throughout the day. We weigh the information and facts that we have at our disposal and then act accordingly. There is a fly in the ointment, so to speak,…

Taking A Break
A simple shovel crusted with the dirt of work. It patiently leans against the shed, waiting in the afternoon sun. There is still work to be done, but it’s time for a break. The break will be short. Got to finish up before the sun sets. That’s life. That’s spiritual work. I dig deep into…

Waiting
When I took this photo, I had no idea what subject I would blog about in reference to it. The moment I saw this photo this morning, it struck me. Waiting. Waiting is such a tenuous place to be. It is sitting in a tenuous place, at an uncertain time, experiencing uncertainty of outcome. We…

The Higher We Climb
Climbing can be scary both physically and metaphorically. We lose sight of what grounds us to the earth and the unknown is what lies ahead. We gather up our courage and take the first step forward. The hardest step. As we ascend, we feel a certain exhilaration mixed with trepidation doused with fear of losing…

Chores
I’m just sitting here in my chicken slogs, getting up the gumption to open the coop and start my day. I’ve been away for a while. No one has probably noticed, but I feel it. The reason? I guess it’s not just one thing. First there is life. We all know this one. Events, plans…

When We Aren’t Looking
Can’t wait for spring. It’s peeking around the corner. The birdies are starting to show up en mass. You really can’t go wrong with a birdie photo. There is no such thing as an ugly bird. I have a bird feeder camera, and its so entertaining. When an alert sounds that a photo has been…

Laundry Day
I truly find it fascinating that visual interest can be found in every aspect of our lives. There is nothing that cannot be photogenic if given the chance. Laundry is a favorite of mine. Clean clothes smelling of your favorite fabric softener or the crisp outdoors is sensory beauty. The fresh feel of the fabric…

Morning Skies
As morning creeps over the hill and the deer graze beneath morning skies, I stop on the dirt road to take this photo. Personally, early morning is my favorite light. It is light that is fresh and promising as opposed to the afternoon “golden hour”, while although stunning, is light that is spent and preparing…

A Train Ride (the little engine that could)
A new year, a fresh start. Yep, things got a little wild toward the end of last year and my absence speaks to this. However, as long as we are still living, there can always be a new beginning. We tend to forget this and slap ourselves around like we have committed some indelible sin…
