Welcome to the Notebook 2022. This will be the last year of posting on 365 Days, my blog of a photo a day. Since making that decision I decided to start here on my photograph site to continue a journal of sorts with random photos each day as I do there.
Dear Notebook, Twas a beautiful sunset over the canyon tonight. Sunsets never seem to fail at beautiful. The floods are gone but we are still muddy. I wonder what this will look like in a couple of months. Poppies anyone?
Dear Notebook, Twas a lazy day. Content.
Dear Notebook: For 365 Days blog I am doing the flower of the month. Buying the flowers and then photographing them for each month. This is a small bounty of rain ridden flowers I got from the local store for the project. Primroses and Violets. There are a few browned leaves already on them. I like that nature gives the whole circle. There is beauty in it all.
Dear Notebook, Today I started to take photos of the flowers bought yesterday for February's posts on 365. I think It was a successful shoot and will have enough time to get some backgrounds in. I get lost in timing and so the day goes by fast. I used the Canon 5D Mark III with Canon 100mm Macro lens for today's fun and next will be with the Lensbaby. We shall see how that goes.
Dear Notebook: Loving the vintage and old fashioned looks this photo of a primrose took a version of that. Most of the photo creations I do here happen to go to that spot. I guess it is my niche until the work takes me elsewhere. Right now, it is the happy place.
Dear Notebook, Peter's 4th Birthday. I am going through old photo slides and getting ready to upload more to the family ancestry album. Here to share is a photo slide of my brother Peter's 4th birthday in 1956. My mother in the yellow, me in the blue dress, Peter next to me and my Grandmother Short in the far right wearing the beautiful necklace. My Aunt Betty on the far left holding my cousin Melinda. I think cousin George is the blonde and the Keliegh boys thereafter. I am surprised that the slides lasted. In fact, I think when I have time, if I do, I can clean them up to look better. Fun stuff after all these years.
Dear Notebook: I have been playing around.
Dear Notebook: After getting a deal on 6 Cypress Trees at the nursery, the camera went indoors to make merry.
Dear Notebook: I am letting the bright pink make my day.
Dear Notebook: I am in the garden of Sheckyville again. Believe it or not, I am planting more trees.
Dear Notebook: I like the feeling of the day. The Neighborhood looks good from up here.
Dear Notebook: I have a shitty neighbor. Fog helps.
Dear Notebook: I shot feathers today. No animals were hurt or abused.
Dear Notebook: Chinese food was on the belly schedule. So was admiring the art work.
Dear Notebook: It was time to make the tea corner worthy so the Limoges came out to play and there they will stay. I am old and will use the best I have from here on in. That's it.
Dear Notebook, She's so cute
Apples came to still life today with the art lens and filter.
Dear Notebook: I added another desk to my room of desks. Seems I can't get away of being craft-wafty and a blogger who likes to photograph.
Dear Notebook: I had a fine feathered friend visit me today. He didn't seem to mind .... until i moved. They he left.
Dear Notebook: The beautiful sunset before the winds. Somehow this time is more calming since we had rains. So let the wind be wind...
Dear Notebook: Let there be music. I was lousy at the guitar. I liked the drums but never was good at that either. At my age, it is time to sell. On Craigs List and Facebook Marketplace is the guitar I bought at a fundraiser. It is signed by Steve Stevens the guitar player for the Billy Idol band. I am letting loose with it since buying it in 2006ish. Tis better for me to be a fan...
