Dear Diary...Today I saw my first flower in the garden, and I screamed "I see flowers" at the top of my lungs!!
Evening Arrives...
And I find myself at the Roseman bridge for an attempt at long exposures of the bridge.Nobody around but me and a deer crossing the river.Unfortunately he didn't stand still long enough to capture his photo. Fresh Air And Sunshine...
 When a friend mentioned the early spring tones in the landscape were uninspiring, I set out on a country drive to see what I could find capture despite the muddy tones of brown so prevalent now. Although tired from a lack of sleep since I had worked the previous night, the sunshine and fresh air of the late afternoon has given me new energy and inspiration.Hello...I have been feeling a bit disconnected of late. The move to Blogspot has not been well recieved.,and I have lost interest. I miss the interaction of my friends here on spaces. The hours I work leave me feeling exhasted even on my days off. I need sunshine,Green grass,fresh air and yes flowers.Of course with springs arrival I anticipate we all will be feeling alot better soon.
In my personal life there are still some things Out Of Sorts, and I struggle some days to keep my head above water. I won't go into that here. Lets just say I have a plan in place to take back my house, my life,and get some more enthusiasm to greet each day. I also want to make some changes in my community of friends.I need to make contact with my closest friends more often,and balance that with my network of friends from all over te web community. In an effort to accomplish these things,I have decided to change things up here. The direction this blog is going to take may not be 100% clear in my mind at this time, but let us say I am going to gear it toward my photography.
The garden will play a large role as well with the season apon us. I am thinking it would be nice to combine a photo or two like Barb's space,with a paragraph or so describing the general feelings of the day. Maybe somewhat like Red Willow Photography is doing. Trying to keep it simple,easy ,yet a touch more personal.
As always my photos can be viewed on flickr. I am going to do away with the blogspot blog,as much as it pains me to loose all the time and effort I put into posting there. Very few visit,and it hardly seems worth my effort. Also of late I have been getting some spam leading me to moderate comments.Way too much effoert for such little payback.
I hope you will welcome the changes and be here holding my hand as I make my way back into the light.... Spring FeverWell my friends, I decided I was in the mood for an update.
I am mostly well since my last posting, except some left over sinus drainage and an overall lack of energy. Most weeks I have to make myself get dressed and get out for fear I will just sit in the recliner and watch the world pass by on the tube. The writers strike hasn't helped. The usi=ual sitcoms and drama shows I enjoy have been reruns for a very long time now.
I think I have suffered from the long winter and the lack of light, as I find my self feeling better the more the sunlight stays each day as spring approaches. The fact I sleep whenthe sun is out in the early half of the day didn't help. Suddenly sunsets are coming 2 hrs later than they had in the not too distant past. The air is warmer, the snow is melting slowly, the rivers are once again running and making thier charming gurgling sounds, and while the world is now a shade of brown h, it still seems more cheerful.
We are officially in the season that comes between winter and spring. Mud season. The dogs cannot go out without dragging half thegarden soil in with them. During the next month it will vary between cold 30 degree days and balmy 60 degree days. As snow melts the rivers flood, fields will be covered in water, the farmers will wonder if they can get the crops in as needed. The sun shines, and I have already been able to drive with the sun roof open.
The kittens are 8 weeks old, and a bundle of energy. They run around the house, hiss and bat at Rosa, occasionally lay with Pete, and are climbing on everythng in sight.They truely are beautiful. Smoke has the mose Maine coon charactoristics, traits he gets from Lily who I believe to be a mixed main coon breed. He is a puffball, with tufts of hair in his toes, and ears, as well as the charactoristic tufts at ear tips. I hope he gets Lily's vocal abilities. She talks in the most charming way, vocalizing for food, water, and sometimes just to call her babies. She follows me from room to room, and also loves to follow me into the bathroom.
They eat dry food now and I don't have to soak in water very long. They are crunching very effectively. Lily steals whats left in their bowl as well as eating hers like a pig, and she's still skinny.Most days I feel like I am put on earth purely to put down food or water,LOl
Hope your spring brings a playful energetic spirit to you all.
Luv aplseed |
