Hello February

Hello February

I'm checking in for my monthly update of this, that and nothing much.  My camera continues to sit idle while I write and write and write some more. Instead of taking snapshots with a camera I've chosen to create snapshots of life with words, at least for now. 

Do I miss taking photos?  Yes. 
 I took this lonely tree photo on  February 3, 2012 & it's pretty much SOOC

Will I pick up my camera and begin snapping shots the way I have for the last few years?  Not for the foreseeable future. 
 Such a Valentine photo!  A gathering of an old book, Sans Famille written in French, a bit of ribbon roses on lace, and my mother's charming little heart bracelet.  I like the way the heart caught the light.

Why?  Because I've discovered that if I spread myself too thin nothing gets accomplished.  There's not enough time in the day to be a photographer, an editor of photos, a writer, a researcher, a reader, a commenter, Mimi to a grandson, and still do all the things that need to be done on a daily basis.

This photo just makes me smile, the light shining through the petals gives it a softness and yep, this is another SOOC photo from February 2012

In the wee hours of a sleepless night I need a quiet occupation, so I thought I'd catch up with my favorite blogs and write a bit of a post.  I sincerely wish all a lovely life every day.

  1. I am doing some of the same. Catching up on reading my favorite blogs - too much going on to write or take photos. :) Happy February.

  2. Nope...can't do it all. Follow where your creative heart takes you. The photos can wait...but it sounds like the words cannot. :)

  3. You have to do the things you love best. Like you, I have so many interests, and which should come first? I juggle them all from day to day, just like you.

  4. There certainly aren't enough hours in the day to all that we desire, so it's good to choose just a few of the things we love to do the most.
    The heart bracelet is ever so beautiful, especially the way you have photograhed it.
