Zealousness Ardent activity, devotion, or diligence. What is ardent? With great conviction or zeal. I have no idea why I follow circular definitions with such intense emotion; passionately and fervently; such zealousness; I guess that’s something more for me to explore. Here we are at the last day of April: the last day of NationalContinue reading “#SoCS & Day Thirty: Moving On with Zealousness”

#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”
#SoCS: Everything Turns Into Dreams of Flight
Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is “fortune.” Here’s an excerpt from my circular journey in my journal this morning. “The greatest of my fortunes is letting go of the past, of gathered resentments, and disappointments, turning them into new paths of discovery, changing them into flying dreams. How else can I explore “fortune” today?Continue reading “#SoCS: Everything Turns Into Dreams of Flight”
#SoCS: Every Day a Fresh Page
Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is “page” which inspired me to really explore a page during my morning pages. I’ve meant to do this ever since I started using artist sketchbooks, but for some reason I come to the page every day and write in pretty uniform lines across the page. I had fun,Continue reading “#SoCS: Every Day a Fresh Page”

#SoCS: Resolve to Dissolve
Today, in response to Of Maria Antonia’s 2022 Weekly Photo Challenge prompt “A New Year,” I tried something I’ve been thinking about. Using the same clear plastic that I used for my “snowglobes,” I created a filter with written words and put them in the world. This opens up so many possibilities, an exciting discoveryContinue reading “#SoCS: Resolve to Dissolve”

#SoCS: Nostalgia for Opposites or the Opposite of Nostalgia
Last night I made a candle filter. I thought I would try it with the fisheye lens technique to create flickers of nostalgia. Stream of Consciousness It’s stream of consciousness Saturday. The prompt for today is “opposites.” In my experience opposites attract, but today I am more interested in nostalgia and its opposites. Living inContinue reading “#SoCS: Nostalgia for Opposites or the Opposite of Nostalgia”
#SoCS: Mistletoe and Other Tree Parasites
Yesterday I discovered a new technique through another happy accident. I left my lights on after the shoot yesterday, and noticed how they reflected in the glass of the sliding door as if they were outside. I used that to create bokeh in the trees this morning. It’s a great discovery for taking outdoor bokehContinue reading “#SoCS: Mistletoe and Other Tree Parasites”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 11: A Darkness Falls
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge,”night,” I had some fun creating my own starry night in the daylight. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt, “horses,” took me by surprise. I have odd, mixed feelings about horses. I’ve been to horse camp, a dude ranch; my sister trained a horse in the field I walked through on the way toContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 11: A Darkness Falls”
