Making Delight

Delight This study of abstract nouns through abstract photography brings me extreme pleasure and satisfaction. To capture that delight today, I used my favorite fuzzy fabric as a backdrop, my favorite spiral filter, and used the camera flash in the mirrorworld. Some of the results were surprising and delightful. For Cinco de Mayo at dVerseContinue reading “Making Delight”

Bravely Facing This Stage of Grief

Bravery What is bravery? Courage. What is courage? Bravery. I love this stuff. It is a quality of mind or spirit that allows a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear. Other than military imagery of facing the enemy and facing death, what does bravery look like? How do I capture a qualityContinue reading “Bravely Facing This Stage of Grief”

Reflecting on How to Continue the Abstract Adventure

My Theme For my theme this year, I chose abstract nouns which are words for things that aren’t perceived by the senses, and can’t be physically measured. They are ideas, qualities, or states rather than concrete objects. I chose this theme because I combine the A to Z Challenge with National Poetry Writing Month andContinue reading “Reflecting on How to Continue the Abstract Adventure”

Day Twenty-Six: The Value of Love

Value Value is a concept I find intriguing. Does anything have intrinsic value, or is it only through exchange that value comes into existence? Value has so many definitions, many of which have to do with worth: “relative worth, merit, or importance: monetary or material worth: the worth of something in terms of the amountContinue reading “Day Twenty-Six: The Value of Love”

Day Twenty-One: With Respect to Respect in Some Respect

Respect When thinking about “respect,” I was so focused on an attitude of deference, admiration, or esteem; regard, that I was surprised to read its definition as: A particular, detail, or point (usually preceded by in): to differ in some respect. To me, this definition connects respect to quality. Relation or reference: inquiries with respectContinue reading “Day Twenty-One: With Respect to Respect in Some Respect”

Day Seven: An Aubade to An Abundance of Failures

Failure Today’s post on Blogging from A to Z has some quotes to help us focus on a successful future. Two of them are about failure: “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” –Winston Churchill “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really:Continue reading “Day Seven: An Aubade to An Abundance of Failures”

Spring Has Sprung

April is coming very soon. It’s a busy month here at Experience Writing because it’s National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), and the A-Z blogging challenge. This year, since I photo-illustrate my posts anyway, and was so inspired by one word daily prompts last fall, I thought I would add a photo-challenge to the mix. HowContinue reading “Spring Has Sprung”

#SoCS: Splicing the Frayed Ends

Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt “rope” inspired me to get out and take some pictures. Living near water and boats, rope takes on a special meaning of securing connection. Here’s an excerpt from my journal this morning: “I was tied in knots. The rope fraying, unraveling, the rope tossed, wasn’t fastened at the otherContinue reading “#SoCS: Splicing the Frayed Ends”

New Poem The dVerse Poets Pub is open after a two week vacation and today LisaContinue reading “Celebrating Play and Treats”
