I recently returned to the East coast after a work trip out West; another conference in Las Vegas. Although my lips were chapped all week, and I barely got outside the conference center, I felt revived! Travel is just in my blood. After landing back in CT (where I work now), the doldrums returned. The…
I find water, rocks and cactus to be very natural abstract forms. Water is always intriguing, changing form and affecting everything it touches. Rocks are just amazing in the diversity of shape, size, color and texture that they come in. And cactus are just mystifying. What a strange world we live in; it’s all abstract…
That’s a really big salad! When I ordered the Taco Salad I didn’t expect to get such a huge meal, I’m not that big of an eater. I couldn’t exactly send it back, especially with such friendly service.Dinner is so much better with a perky waitress. It had been almost 3 years since I had…
The future is only a figment of imagination, it is not real until it becomes the present. Most of my past imaginations of the future have become a reality, although slightly different from what I might have thought at the time. Now, as I envision the path ahead I create it – with room for…
On my trip west last Fall, one of my favorite parts was viewing the sunsets. Especially in southern New Mexico and Arizona where these photos were taken. It seemed like there was never a place to stop, so these photos were taken with my phone while my daughter (or her now husband) were driving. My…
When I think of harmony I think about the various elements that come together to make a beautiful dance. Music, movement, creativity, vision, intention, diverse people, costumes, lighting, stage, and audience all merge into a spectacular expression of art, emotion and beauty. In this particular dance there were 4 or 5 countries represented, and 3…
I wish I could say that my state of mind is peaceful, but at the moment it is not. I can not describe what is going on in my head right now except perhaps with these pictures. A little drizzly, unclear, muddy even. Unfocused? No, I am very focused. I have to be to get…
I await the vibrant colors of spring. Not only colors, but everything is energized when winter fades and new life blooms. The air becomes vibrant and sweet. For more posts on VIBRANT go to: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/vibrant/
I had to really stretch myself on this one this week. How do I take a photo that shows optimism? Do I have a photo in my files that expresses optimism? Essentially at my core I am an optimistic person, but I have to admit that I get blue sometimes. There are plenty of issues…
That’s what cats do, they are always watching everything, except when they’re sleeping. But even then, sometimes you can catch them with one eye open. I took these photos with my phone recently during my morning meditation. They keep me company, sort of. Well, at least they’re quiet. Anyway, I enjoy watching them as they…
It was only the interior that was ornate, the rest of the mission property was beautiful but in a more simple and serene way. I prefered the grounds, which I will show in a future post. But what makes this mission truly special is it’s history which dates back to 1692 and the fact that…
Boundaries are good when they protect things from harm. There were many boundaries on our trip west that helped us feel safe or kept others safe. To see more photos on Boundaries go to: The Daily Post/photochallenge/boundaries
