Mindfulness Challenge Week 1: Focus

In Stitches I had no idea how I was going to start. I’d created this list of themes to help me be more mindful in 2017.  Deliberately abstract, I’d begun to wonder if I’d be able to even come up with a subject for my first photo:  Focus.

Weekly Photography Challenge: (Normally) Enveloped

Weekly Photography Challenge: Twist

My son likes to take things apart. Occasionally, this has been a problem. But as he’s gotten older, he is more likely to ask before he dismantles. This time, he has taken apart a remote control for a video game. The pieces lay scattered on the table when I was cleaning, and I noticed theContinue reading “Weekly Photography Challenge: Twist”

Weekly Photography Challenge: Street Life

Street life might be drivers heading to work, families out for a walk… or these flowers peeking through the fence along the sidewalk. There is life on this street. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/street-life/
