Spend time observing nature, and you'll be amazed at the resourcefulness out there. 
 And the perseverence.

It's amazing that this bird, with only one leg, could not just survive, but thrive. We've been watching her hold her own at the feeders, and master the one-foot-hold in wind and snow. Amazing.

No kidding. I love to spend time just watching. Isn't that really the best gift of photography?

What a nice blog your have created. I like your New Skills post and the fact that you remind us that there is inspiration everywhere. Something that I have just started working on, is taking twelve shots of the same scene, at the same time of day, one each month. I plan on putting them altogether in a photo collage. I think it will be interesting, seeing the difference in the seasons, the weather and the lighting. Just a little fun project. My name is Connie. I am an artist, photographer, and paper crafter. I enjoy re-purposing old items, love to cook, garden and entertain. Retired and loving it. Oh, and I'm your newest follower. Please visit my blog, maybe you'll decide to follow me, too. Have a great weekend!

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr

Macro Monday + One

With a little help from my friend (+1=not macro, though taken with my macro lens) Things I Love About Summer (in no particular order, though I see food appears higher on the list than does exercise.) Picnics Fresh fruit Fresh vegetables Celebrations Fireworks Family reunions Quiet, country mornings Showy meadows Gentle rains Thunder storms Family gatherings Children's laughter at dusk The sound of dogs barking Windows open Gently blowing curtains Big puffy clouds Being warm Sandals The smell of fresh cut grass The sound of lawn mowers Sitting on the porch reading Time The colors Flowers GREEN Leaves on the trees Adventures Photo ops Waves on the beach Ice cream Long walks Riding bikes Having church outside at the pavilion Camping Boating Fairs Sunrise and Sunsets The Great Lakes I'm sure this isn't the entire list, but it's a good start. It could also become a "things I'm grateful for" list, as well. We need to take time periodically to reflect on all t

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.
